For the past four months I've struggled with well lets just say stress. I've been to the doctor and had a full run of extensive tests done to ensure that I am in good health. Which I am. I am probably in the best shape I have been my entire life. I eat well, go to Bikrim yoga at least once a week, and rarely drink. Due to the lovely chest palpitations and pain, I had to give up my daily cup of joe. Oh how I miss coffee! After 3 1/2 months I tried Decaf. It was okay. It was a very watered down version of what I actually wanted or I guess what I was expecting. I even got chest palpitations a little while afterwards. I can't tell if it was from the coffee itself or the amount of stress I have been under in general.
I heard the other day that your heart can actually weaken from heart ache and stress. Thinking about everything I have been through in my life, all the hardships and tough times I hope if anything my heart has gotten stronger, not weaker. Today I am going to go get a massage, and next week I have an acupuncture appointment. Its funny, I am very uncomfortable around needles, but I am not scared of trying acupuncture. I am more excited to try it. I hope it works. My next step is seeing a chiropractor. My boss and his wife strongly recommended a man they use, but to be honest I am a little scared to go to a chiropractor. The thought of having my backed cracked is pretty nerve racking. But I am determined to be a better me, so I will try anything to stop this anxiety and pain.
