The Results Are In

I went to the doctor last week because I was not feeling well. My heart was beating irregularly. I was often short of breath. The doctor looked me over and listened to my chest and said that I looked fine and my heart sounded good. He suggested we do blood work just to check on how my levels were. I quickly agreed, feeling “something” must not be right and hoping to have an explanation for my lack of energy, unexplained pain and off heartbeat. I got the results of my blood work back today and just like when they tested three years ago…nothing. My tests come back clean. Blood count, thyroid, kidney etc all fine. The doctor said that my blood pressure was a little high so that may be why I was having the irregular heartbeat and shortness of breath. So, what now?!? Well since there is no “medical” reason for why I have been feeling like crap for so long, I will have to look at my health more holistically. I need to commit to eating more whole foods and eliminating as much white sugar/flour. I need to make exercise a part of my life, daily. This is an area that I have truly neglected for many years. I am horribly out of shape and I feel it more in my body than it shows on my body. I have greatly reduced my stress level in the past two years but am still working on letting crap go. Especially anything/anyone that is negative and does add to my life in a positive way. Also, I am going to take vitamins daily. I am going to try to add the above things to my life and see what happens. At this point it is all I can do. I guess I have to accept that I am not forever young. I am not twenty five. I am at a point in my life where looking good and feeling good take work. Aaaargh!!!!!:)
