2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

Would be kind of annoying to switch to the lowest cost mobile provider to stick it to the big companies only to have them sell out to one of them.

I switched from T-Mobile to Mint in Decemberā€¦

Not really sure. Checking it out Bing wonā€™t do anything like that that I can figure out. May be something they have not public ally available.

At some point it will likely be possible to do that though. I donā€™t know what access the person in beetlejuiceā€™s post had. They just announced this move into images yesterday I think.

I looked for it but didnā€™t find it.

Meanwhile in Florida:

Attention media members breathlessly reporting and educating America about the dangers of overdose:

There is no ā€œOā€ in the word ā€œfentanyl.ā€

Itā€™s deadly serious, and you sound fucking stupid.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Note: this is not a solicitation of medical advice, but I am curious what you all would do here.

Last night about 1 AM, a car alarm went off outside. That must have combined with something I was dreaming and I jolted awake, heart pounding. Id consider it to be a small amount of chest pain that lasted for about ten minutes with some mild sweating. I calmed down and went back to sleep.

This morning and throughout most of today I have been pretty fatigued. Headfoggy kinda, tough to concentrate at work, but aside from that no real issues. BP is slightly higher than my norm, but that happens to me from time to time (as does the occasional chest pain.)

I of course did my due dilligence of webmd research (because im an idiot) and am slightly worried about a mini heart attack (these are a thing apparently) which I normally wouldnt be, but about two years ago, my EKG tech aaked if I had ever had a heart attack and I said no, of course not (I was mid 30s at the time) and he said it was weird because the EKG readings kinda indicated that I had. The only thing I could think that would have been something like that was when I was 24 I went to the ER with like a 205/145 BP after having a panic attack one night.

Anyway, im rambling. I dont feel great right now, but not terrible, and Ive got a preplanned Cardiology appointment Friday at 9 am, and really really dont want to go to the fucking ER for something that turns out to be nothing or something that could have waited 36 hours.

As John Quinones would say, what would you do?

About 6 years ago i was battling a whole host of issues at once that led to me having a couple full blown panic attacks and at its best, mild anxiety 24/7. Iā€™d wake up to take a piss and would have a raxing heart not knowing if it was anxiety, poor shape or something else. Not to get into detail but I failed an EKG and later took a ecochardiogram that I passed. I found out then that I had arrhythmia that would often kick in during periods of stress and eventually realized that, for myself, my thoughts played a much larger role in my physical wellbeing than I had ever would had assumed.

My complete unprofessional opinion that had helped me was to focus on the positive things and cut out what you can of the shitty dreadful shit. For me, it affected the perception of my health far more than I realized. So youā€™re possibly okay.

Thanks for the input guys. Gonna meditate and try to sleep well tonight.

If you dont see me around for a few days, assume the worst and know that this place and the place before has been one of my daily highlights for 15 years

When in doubt see a doctor

Yea but thatā€™s usually pretty expensive here. In America, weā€™re usually trying to find reasons to not go to the doctor.

If you want to be seen by a doctor without paying $250 minimum, youā€™re looking at a two week wait minimum just about everywhere in estados unidos.

Fly to Mexico to see a doctor AND give yourself a mini vacation. Iā€™ve done that before. Ultrasound cost like $36.

Still alive this morning, feeling a bit better, but still fatigued. Bp back to normal though so who the fuck knows. SOMETHING happened Tuesday night, I just dont know what. Hope to get some answers Friday

Yea, def good to stop and see a doc. But a lot of times the ā€˜somethingā€™ is actually nothing medically speaking. As someone who is a bit of a hypochondriac, Iā€™ve had a few times where weird shit was going on with my body, Iā€™d also go down the Dr. Google rabbit hole, figure Iā€™m like 50/50 to be dying, finally see a Dr. and heā€™d be like this is just a minor thing, hereā€™s some prescription to make you feel better, overall youā€™re in good health. And then once my mind accepts that Iā€™m okay and I destress, then everything is actually okay. Almost every time has been like that, fortunately. So hopefully it goes the same for you!
