Today I had a wake up call! It was really a work in progress but culminated today into an ER visit. I have been having and still have a miserable headache that has lasted a week and I had tightening in my jaw. Shortness of breath also plagued me today and I was worried that I could be a candidate for a heart issue? What I learned after 4 hours in the ER was that I had a clean CAT Scan and EKG and I also had perfect blood pressure, no anemia,no elevated white blood cells and I wasn't pregnant(LOL-But I already knew that)!
The ER doctor said I need to follow up with my regular physician and get to the bottom of these headaches and so I am going to get right on that but meanwhile he suggested I eliminate all processed foods and de-stress. "I'm on it Doc!"
So, I've long known that I will have to master stress management in order to enjoy my life as a physician and why not start NOW!
It's time for a life overhaul!
So here is the plan:
Add Yoga
Add Meditation
Add More Organic Foods
Add More Laughter
Add More Alone Time
Add A Team Sport
Add 3 Phone Calls a Week to Friends
Delete Processed Foods
Delete Negative Thoughts
Delete Negative People
Delete NEWS
Delete Most Caffiene
The above list is a work in progress but it's a start. Life Overhaul in Progress! One happy MD to BE coming up!!!
