There’s a daily positivity thread on r/healthanxiety now. How am I supposed to participate in that?

Transition to a healthy diet and then post your results after progressing far enough.

I tried YouTube meditation today, and it didn’t work, but I’ll keep trying. I think maybe I was in a bad position where my neck couldn’t relax.

Here's one for you to try.

So in case it wouldn't work, nobody gets to know about it?

With such an attitude you will not succeed at anything. Anyone whose diet consists of half pepperoni and all cheese has plenty of room for improvement.

Just saying, filtering for positive results only is information bubble building - or ibb for short.

You must filter for positive food, not positive information. You filter for food that is healthy and then you only eat that. That is how it works.

Guys, I woke up around 1:30 AM, and it is now 3:30 AM. I can’t help but wonder if this is related to my health.

99.9 degrees just now, and I didn’t cheat it up with microwave food nor coffee. I did go for a morning walk which made me very sweaty, but that isn’t supposed to affect body temperature that much, is it?

Never mind, a nap brought it down to 96.8 degrees.

Depends on how intense and long it was, maybe.

I keep posting blood pressure readings in the 140s over 90s. I really wish my doctor had increased my nifedipine dosage, because I feel like this is going to lead to some problems before my next appointment in August. I guess the two main things to watch out for are kidney failure and stroke, and the latter is pretty easy to spot.

An online symptom checker just asked me if I breathe more than twenty times per minute. Well, I counted, and it turns out I breathe seventeen times a minute. Should I be happy?

The same symptom checker told me I might have hyperthyroidism. That can’t be right though, because I’m fat. Wouldn’t hyperthyroidism keep me from getting fat?

I asked the magic 8 ball.

I just measured my blood pressure at 190 over 100. That would be a hypertensive crisis, but I think I’ll wait a few minutes and measure it again. There is a small chance I might have to go to the emergency room. I’ll let you guys know.

 

[JDTAY]

144 over 92 now. Still high, but not an emergency.

I said on February 20th in the pictures of ourselves thread that I have a couple of spots on my right shoulder blade that I wanted to get checked out. Well, today I finally made an appointment, for one week from now. Wish me luck.

It sucks that I had to wait this long, but skin checks are supposed to be six months apart, and my last one was in October.

Temperature 99.5 just now. I did cheat it up with coffee, but I still feel like something’s wrong. I had a lot of trouble getting up from my morning nap, and it feels cool in my apartment even though the A/C is set at 73.

Edit: Forget this post. Back to 98.3 already. Plus, my oximeter says I’m at 97%.

Forget this post.

Here’s something that’s got me down. Remember in the pictures of ourselves thread when I said I could feel the top mole on my right shoulder blade, and it felt slightly raised? Well, I’ve gained about 15 pounds since then, due to getting groceries, and now I can’t reach that mole to feel it anymore.
