I woke up last night at exactly 4:00 am with an excruciating pain/cramp in the middle of my stomach, just below my sternum. I seriously thought I was having a heart attack; i couldn't breathe; i could barely move.
This lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and then as quickly as the pain came it vanished without trace.
I'm currently on antibiotics for a lingering cold, so immediately I suspected that was the source of the suffocating pain. But I haven't had any side effects to note, so that can't be the issue. It must have been a random encounter, yes?
Though I'm still perplexed about the actual cause, regardless it was an eye opening experience because I was literally helpless in my bed and the walk to the bathroom to get a drink of water felt like my last few steps on earth. We completely take our health for granted, often abusing and pushing our bodies to the limit, and often without thought about the consequences.
Without getting too deep (too late), but it was serious mortality check. Even at the relatively young age of 27, there is so much more I need to do. I have a list. Now it's just time to stop being lazy and do something about it
