So THIS is new...

Been fighting this for about 20 hours now... I think I'm sick. I'm weak and short of breath and my chest feels tight.

I know... Fat guy, lots of strenuous stuff yesterday... Heart Attack, right? But no!

No pains or numbness in any extremities, and doing an "Internal Check" i can tell that my heart is pumping just fine. No fluttering, no racing, no pounding... just the nice relaxed rhythmic beating of a relaxed heart.

Head ache. Body aches. Unable to stay focused or concentrated for more than a few moments at a time.

Oh, and I'm RAVENOUSLY hungry but unable to eat more than a few bites before i feel like I can't eat any more.

Yeah, that sums it up... it's the same feeling I get when I've gone for 24 hours or so without eating :(

Shortness of breath and a tight chest is also a sign of acid reflux.

Believe me on this. I know.

Pretty sure you're pregnant.

Lots of other people are feeling the same way. I think it is due to all the flu shots going around at the moment. They make you sic so your body can fight the flu but in turn it also spreads the bloody flu around.

Well, Dr. Me has no brilliant diagnosis, so I guess I just stopped by to say get well soon!

Mold allergies? There's something going around, my whole family's suffered with it for 4 weeks each. We finally beat it then yesterday after that rain it warmed up and bam we're back to breating issues.

It could also be the un-acknowledged stress of having to pack everything up for the big move. Moving is never fun.
