Heart problem

Dear The Reader

So I'm writing this from the waiting room of a blood collection place. Turns out I'm not as invincible as we all thought.

At 5:30pm on Wednesday I stood up and felt a pain in my chest. I found it hard to breathe. It got worse and I found it hard to sleep. Thursday morning I got myself to a doctor who put me through an ECG. She sent me to a heart specialist who also put me through an ECG.

The heart specialist thinks the fluid between my heart and lungs has dried up, causing friction, in turn causing the pain.

Yes, I'm scared. Not as scared as I was. And I'm smarter.

Starting today I won't be eating fast food (except Subway of course). I'll do it until the end of the year and see what happens.

Educate. Entertain. Inspire.
