Dont take your health for granted




Everyone knows this. Health is important, health should not be neglected, and yet we often only truly know this having experience the possibility of losing it.

This has been a month where i went for 2 doctors visit, 1 endoscopy, 1 ultrasound, 1 urine test. Just the thought of recounting what happen puts a chill to me.

It all started with a horrible bloating feeling after dinner about 3 weeks back. I have been having bloated stomach for like months or so, but it has never created much disturbance. Note. Not much, meaning it happened  a few times, but not enough to bother me to see the doctor for a referral.

When i had to go through the scope at the hospital, i was apprehensive with many thoughts in my head.
However, the good thing of it all, there was no growth, there were no stones in my gall bladder. Just a bacteria infection in my stomach and the GERD caused by acid reflux. Which will be worsen with Stress.

Anyway, i didnt want to dwell too much on the above, all in all, the doc says i'm stressed ( although i didnt think so), but to have the doctor ( okay, another doctor  whom i went to yesterday for a urine test because of my headache and frequent urination) says " there the flood gates go" when i started tearing, i cant help but to finally admit, i am emotionally unstable at times especially when people start to fuss over me when i'm sick, when i'm doing something good for them, when too much attention is on me. Or, even when we talk about relationship stuffs ( except the hub) of course.

All of us, whether we like it or not, may behave physically healthy and normal outside, will have some form of scars, or vulnerability inside us. These may be stress in built in us, our lifestyle resulting in our internal organs overworking, not resting enough, or even inflammation because of excessive caffeine, alcohol, sugar, dusty environment.

So, everyone, learn to love yourself. Learn to listen to your body. Do not wait till it's too late. Do not think you are not stressed or all superwoman or superman. Breathe and learn to let go. Learn to listen to your thoughts. Be positive.
