Numbness in the chest

I have numbness in the chest since I was in high school. I don’t know what’s the cause because I have not seen a doctor for consultation and I just don’t feel like it.

Life has been in such a chaos lately. From hormone imbalance to elbow and groin injury. I have spent most of my money to the doctors. Miserable me, I have to stopped yoga classes. That is also because I can’t even bend my elbow, no point of me attending classes when downward facing dog is not being a good friend to me. Let’s just forget about it. Let me rest (and heal).

Last 2 weeks, dad was hospitalized. It was Sunday. I received an unwelcome call from my elder sister when Abner and I was attending a funeral. I was told that dad was on his way to the hospital. I shut my eyes and had a long and big sigh~ the time has come.

My heart just felt like being shredded apart seeing dad lying on the bed with all kind of wires on him. In and out the hospital is tiring but we have to and want to be there to support our dad. Operation was successful. Thank God. I was so dunzo and still am now.

Trying to get myself back on track with work is extremely hard now. I guess all these stress are giving me the numbness and pain in the chest. Man, doctor not again!! Jeez… I hate visiting them. Who likes it? I would rather just die in my sleep. At some points, I wonder how is it when someone breathe the last breath. What will happen to the soul living the body. In religions believe, the soul will be in heaven, hell, virvana, etc… but how true is it? Not that I don’t believe in that but how? How? Hmm, I have been thinking beyond too much no doubt I always have been thinking about that all the time. Hah!

No one knows what will happen next. I don’t know when the pain will subside. I never have the pain for more than a week. Should I be worried? I google about the pain. And here it goes:

Numbness in the chest is linked to a number of conditions, including a diet low in certain vitamins and minerals or a possible heart attack. In addition, certain psychological conditions, such as anxiety and depression, often lead to chest numbness. Diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia may also be to blame. Those who experience chest pain should contact a healthcare professional immediately to prevent further complications.

An inadequate diet has been linked to numbness in the chest. Diets that are deficient in calcium, potassium, sodium, and vitamin B12 appear to be most often to blame. Individuals who experience numbness and who are concerned about the adequacy of their diets can use online nutrient analysis tools to determine if they are, in fact, getting enough of the right nutrients or seek the assistance of a registered dietitian.

Some psychological conditions may be to blame for this symptom. Individuals who experience depression, anxiety, and other mental conditions appear to be most prone to the problem. Those who experience anxiety or depression may want to consider speaking with a psychologist, and prescription medications may help individuals with diagnosed psychological conditions. Regular cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, biking, jogging, or hiking, has also been proven effective in the management of many of these conditions. Those who have never participated in a structured exercise program should aim for 20 minutes of exercise three times per week.

Okay, I hope it’s not heart attack. If it is, I bet the chances of getting heart attack is 1000x higher than striking a lottery especially with the society nowadays. To be precise, with the people around who make me sakit hati! Someone must not agree with this, so let me rephrase. It’s me for not being calm and relax. Speaking about relax, hmm… it’s time to pack and go for a trip. Let me think where could it be where I can meditate, practice and have a peace of mind. Oh, should I consider moving to a jungle? Not a bad idea. I need a break and do what I wanna do before I die!! Good luck me.

Oh-uh~ no arty-farty shared for this post. See you again in the next post. Have a great weekend.

QUEEN

Queen

Okay, don’t be surprise that I too do watch Indian movie. This is a really nice one which reflects quite a lot about me. Most likely about a failed relationship of my past that made me who I am today!

This movie is about Rani (means Queen), a 24-year-old Punjabi from Delhi. She is cute and funny. I like how the movie begins with music, dance and awesomely colorful wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, two days before her marriage, her fiancé Vijay meets with her in a local cafe and tell her he no longer wants to marry her, claiming he has changed, and she would not match his lifestyle anymore. What the crap? Go away…

Rani couldn’t accept this and shuts herself in her room for a day. Fair enough that she needs to be alone. How is she gonna tell her family and relatives about this? Such an irresponsible man leaving her just like this without explaining to her family. No respect at all.

With guts, she decided to go alone on her pre-booked honeymoon in Paris and Amsterdam. Yeah, GO!! Go out and see how beautiful the world is. Go meet new people who cares and loves you for who you are! Rani learns more about her new friends’ background and begins to understand how different life can be for people in other parts of the world. You are not alone and you are not the worse. I remember a friend of mine told me, Love is just like dessert. Life is sweeter with it but hey, life goes on even without it. That was a really good one for me to move on.

As Rani is moving on with her adventures with her new girl friend, Vijayalakshimi in Paris and then took a train to Amsterdam, Vijay begins searching for her after Rani accidentally sent a selfie of her to Vijay instead of  Vijayalakshimi. For few days Vijay looking for Rani and finally found her. He apologizes and asks her to reconsider about their relationship. What the heck? Go away you. Rani would rather speak with him in Delhi. Instead, she meets up with her friends one last time at a rock show she had previously chosen not to attend. After bidding an emotional farewell to her friends at the show’s end, Rani returns to Delhi as a changed person.

Upon returning to India, she meets up with Vijay at his house. Without saying anything, she simply hands him her engagement ring and thanks him. Rani leaves his house relieved and relaxed.

What I wanna say is, do not hamper yourself by someone who does not know how to appreciate and respect you. Let’s think about your family. They are always the most supportive ones and they love you unconditionally. Think about people around you who cares for you. It is not the end of the world for losing some assholes. Excuse my language, but who cares. Some might not agree with this saying, “time heals all wound”. Yeah, the wound remains but if you really let it go, it is a good wound. Honestly, thank you is the perfect word for “letting us go” to find our freedom. When I turn around and look back, I really thank you for this experience of life and remember this. What hurts us today, makes us stronger tomorrow. 

What I love most is, Abner got me this movie and he said, I am sure you gonna love this because it’s so you. Yes, I absolutely love it. 🙂 Go watch it. I hope you will like it and have some laugh!

I saw a lot of young modern mothers using baby carrier in shopping mall and cafe nowadays. It’s so nice to see the babies sleep so well while the mothers managed to catch up with one another. I highly recommend Hana Baby Wrap not because my hubby and myself are carrying this product in HunnyChamp, but we are trying to introduce good, beneficial and high quality products to all the new parents. It’s amazing to receive great feedback from friends and customers who have bought and tested the products. I hope that I can personally share my experience of being a mother with you all one day.

Let’s understand more about Hana Baby Wrap.

Why Hana Baby Wrap?

Hana Baby Wraps are stretchy wrap carriers made of bamboo fabric, that can be used for newborns as it offers full head and neck support and carry your baby in a healthy and safe position.

Emotional Benefits

  • Babies cry less and are healthier – Studies have shown that babies that are held more, cry less.(1) One study found that leaving babies to cry for long periods of time alters their nervous system by flooding the developing brain with stress hormones and adrenalin.(2)
    Carried babies are calm and content – Wearing your baby in a wrap sling, a baby will feel reassured by the presence of their mother’s body rhythms. The familiarity of her heartbeat, body temperature, body smell and breathing patterns will create a smooth transition from womb to world. A randomised controlled test reported in Pediatrics showed that carrying babies reduces crying and fussiness 43% during the day and 51% at night. (3)

Cognitive Benefits

  • Carried babies are primed for learning – Carrying a baby promotes cognitive development and speech development, since babies are exposed to more experiences and conversations.

Physiological Benefits

  • Babywearing stimulates a baby’s physical development -Touching your baby stimulates her growth hormone production.(4)
  • Babywearing stimulates a baby’s vestibular system, the parts of the inner ear that control the body’s sense of balance.
  • Babywearing increases a baby’s circulation and promotes respiration.(5)
  • Babywearing promotes deeper, longer and more peaceful sleep cycles, vital for brain maturation.
  • Babywearing helps digestion and eases colic – wearing your baby in a wrap sling offers an upright position which promotes digestion. A baby’s tummy is massaged through the act of babywearing which also promotes bowel movement. The acupressure points that aid digestion and sleep, are located on the belly and on the lower insides of the thighs. These points are automatically massaged through babywearing.(6)
