I went to the school's clinic yesterday.
Cuz i had heart palpitations since last Wednesday. Fiona asked me how it felt like. Suddenly you can feel your heartbeat very prominently, pumping in the chest. And you can also feel that it is irregular. Over the weekends, i got sort of depressed as i thought what was wrong with me, am i going to have a heart attack and so on. Morbid thoughts. :3 I decided to take action by trying out the health service provided by the school. I heard it was cheaper/free.
And so on Monday after Changing Landscapes lecture, and getting my first birthday presents :D from Edeline (my brother's girlfriend), Eileen drove me over to YIH where the clinic was. It was so cool to be in a car, driving around school. hehe.
Then i went to the clinic, really blur, walking from end to end, before i asked someone at the largest counter i could find. I asked the nurse, is this a clinic? She said, does it look like a clinic to you. And then with a smile. :3 She dug out my medical card (the last time i was here was for the Matriculation health check up) and i recognised my handwriting from a year before. Ah, memories.. She then took my weight. It have decreased! Or is it the machine's fault. Im almost back to JC days' weight.
Then i waited for my number, 209. The numbers on the light board was still 190+. I tried to read some of my Soci of Food reading to be discussed in tutorial tomorrow (oh have not finished it. oh well) After every beep, i had to raise my head to look at the board, so i didnt make progress with the reading. And when my turn finally came, the doctor told me to have a ECG done. After asking him how to go about doing it, i went to have my first ECG done.
Good that the nurse is female. Heh. Cuz besides giant metal pegs clipped onto the wrist and ankles, little suctions have to be placed strategically around the heart region too. Ugh. I guess she is used to seeing the chests of many already. :3 And then a paper was printed from the machine with a not familiar ECG reading. (systole, diastole anyone? ^^).
I had to wait for my number again. The doctor then said that my heart was fine. (was so relieved T^T) In fact, the reading showed that my heartbeats were regular at that point in time. Strange, cuz i could still feel the tremors in my chest.
He then proceeded to counsel me. He said we should say "I expect" instead of "I prefer", and even if we didnt get what we wanted, "I am still me" and "what I do is separate from what I am". And with our expectations being this high, and our current abilities right here (he was using his hands to show 2 different levels), this is how much stress we are inflicting upon ourselves. Ugh. He also said to take this as a lesson to listen to your body. Cuz sometimes we wont admit/cannot tell that we are stressed. I confessed that i had headaches in the morning almost everyday, the previous week.
He then asked if i wanted vitamin C pills. I thought, since it was free, why not? I could do with some boost to the immunity too, as im not eating my fruits. After taking the packet from the pharmacy, i was free to go meet Sherry and ChinWei.
Ah, and it was my karate's sensei's birthday yesterday. Also, i realized that even though im not part of the main clique, i am still happy with the other people i have met there.
Today, an act of kindness and generosity from the Japanese Food stall auntie made me smile too. As i couldnt finish my food right before Soci of Food lecture, and not wanting to waste money/food, i went back to the stall wanting to tapao what i had left. Not only did she not charge for the container, she also added in a scoop of rice. She also wanted to pass me the disposable cutlery. I think she thought i was going to eat in my lesson later, but i was bringing it home. I feel like i have cheated her. I should have offered to pay too. :3
My nap today was too long. But it felt good lingering in bed.
Ah, and it has been a year already..
