My aunt said there's a chance I'll get asthma in the future. My mom didn't have asthma as a kid, but in turn, she had it during her early to late thirties. Oh nooooes. I don't want to have asthma. >.<
So I researched for the symptoms of asthma. Here they are:
- Severe wheezing when breathing both in and out [/]
- Coughing with asthma that won't stop
- Very rapid breathing
- Chest pain or pressure [/]
- Tightened neck and chest muscles, called retractions [/]
- Difficulty talking
- Feelings of anxiety or panic [/]
- Pale, sweaty face
- Blue lips or fingernails
- Or worsening symptoms despite use of your medications
I got four out of ten, so basically that's not a majority. Hopefully this is not it. My mom recommended that I get a medical check-up, I probably would. I'm a huge fan of the saying, "Prevention is better than cure."
Some people say I have insomnia, but I really beg to differ. I can sleep as fast as a bullet and as long as oil during winter time--even if I drink 5 cups of caffeine. So that's really out of the question.
However, just to be sure, here are the symptoms of insomnia:
• Inability to focus
• Frequent headaches
• Most of the time you feel irritated,
• You sleep much better when you are in other places.
• It usually takes you several hours before you could fall asleep.
• Disturbed sleep – you wake up after few hours of sleep.
• You are not refreshed after sleep.
• You cannot return to sleep once you wake up in the middle of the night.
• You can sleep only after you take sleeping pills.
Well, I got none. I am a very focused and determined person. When I put my mind on doing something, I do it will all my best efforts and knowledge. I've never had headaches eversince I finished my thesis. I feel irritated sometimes, but only when I see things I dislike. I can only sleep well on my bed. The moment my back touches the bed, my system shuts down. I wake up 8 to 10 hours after my eyes close. I feel refreshed after sleeping. I do not wake up in the middle of the night or in the middle of my sleep. I haven't tried taking sleeping pills ever.
I know my own self, this is just an allergy attack. Could be because of dust mites on my dusty room or the shrimp tempura I ate last night. I'm healthy as a cow! At least, I want to believe that.
So to the "doctors" in my life, I don't have any illnesses at the moment. Thanks.
