I'm having a pain in my left pectoral. Started about 2 days ago after eating Waffle House, heh. Only hurts sometimes when I drink a liquid, or when I try to burp. That's just on occasion. It hurts off and on throughout the day and it's about a 5/10 pain wise. I mostly bring it up because that is the region where my heart is at... Went to a doctor today, got an EKG and a chest x-ray and won't know anything til Thursday. I know it's kind of an odd pain, but that's the best way I can explain it.

Professional e-diagnosis : you have heart cancer

Heh, hopefully not. My family hasn't had any history of heart cancer. And as of now the pain has been constant instead of just off and on.

That was sarcasm. You probably won't find anybody who has a clue as to what's happening to you.

I figured it was. But in any case I DID find out what was wrong. I have inflammation of the heart as well as high Triglycerides which are linked to diabetes so I'm getting my blood sugar taken today. Fun stuff.

I was going to post this is a pain found in some diabetes sufferers.
Do you have any other symptoms of diabetes?
Like, increased need to pee, light-headedness, sleepy all the time?
There are so many, lol.
As long as you don't get pain or tingling in your left hand.
haha.

My nutrition isn't great. I have no money to buy what I want so I'm usually stuck with what my dorm cafeteria serves. I try for peaches a lot or whatever else. Other than that its milk/water for liquids and bad carbs like pizza. Ironically I'm still losing pounds so that's a plus.

I had 101 blood sugar count. If its over 110 then its diabetes apparently but I don't have it. I could if I don't do something about my triglycerides though. I am tired all the time and I do pee a lot, but I drink a lot of water as well.

Time to take a nap....heh.

did you fast for 8-10 hours before your test?
Could be a stupid question, lol.
And ok, i feel stupid, arguing with a doctor, but if you get the chance ask again, i've read, a figure above 120-125 is a sign of diabetes, after the fasting period.

No I didn't, they decide that I take the test minutes before I get my blood drawn...?

Same thing happened with my cholesterol.

I used to eat shit too when I was at my boarding school. Then I started bringing oats because all they served was shit sugar loaded cornflakes in the morning. Then I added fish oil before sleep. Then I added a can of tuna at night and would sometimes eat oats + tuna for dinner because the cafeteria was so much shit. That shouldn't cost a lot if you manage to stop buying unnecessary things like drinks. I also abused the cafeteria by constantly asking if I could get a 3rd/4th fruit. Idk, even if it's annoying there must be workarounds.

lolololol, was it something you boys did together when nights grew dark?
Did you do it happily or did the older boys force you?
