Annoyingly not only am I still short of breath but it actually is a bit worse and is affecting my sleep. It is hard to get to sleep, the quality of sleep is limited, and getting back to sleep can be difficult.

In fact I feel a bit faint right now (just a tad).

As well I can't be active at all. Even slight exercise can be tough and hard exercise is pretty much impossible after 5 minutes.

It will take a while to see a doctor, as no one here takes it seriously and believe that it is being caused entirely by weight gain, but until then does anyone have advice on how to make things a bit easier.

Hum. Have you done the handstand test?

Prop yourself up on your hands.

...

Did everything go black and you had (more) issues breathing?

That not only sounds scary but dangerous too.

Why can't you just make a doctor's appointment yourself instead of waiting for other people to take you seriously?

It may surprise you but I am somewhat lowkey . When I broke my head open by falling off the porch I only suggested that I needed to go to the doctor to my mother (I was 6 or 7 at the time)

That and I am still half-convinced this is another thing I am doing in my head. Especially since my shortness of breath seems to get worse when I notice it. I hate that I can make things worse myself. It means no matter how bad things are I always know that chances are I am doing it. Heck when I was knocked unconscious from drinking water too fast I don't know if I was shocked unconscious or was freightened unconscious.

Still too afraid to do the handstand test...

what is the handstand test supposed to prove?

[Bdthemag]

Some people don't have the healthcare to just go and see a doctor, I know I can't.

Whats your over all health condition, would you consider yourself healthy, unhealthy, or in between?

Unhealthy. I was supposed to be on medication but I never returned to the doctor.

As for the Handstand my Brother seems to think it is related to the spine and suggested that since I can't do pushups a handstand would be dangerous for me unassisted.

[ChairmanPoo]

What medication?

[Neonivek]

What medication?

I think blood pressure medication.

[ChairmanPoo]

enalapril?

[Neonivek]

enalapril?

I wasn't perscribed anything because the doctor wanted to see if I could bring it down on my own (given my age). Had I went back to the check up the doctor wanted I would have been put on something.

The ONLY thing I remember was that I had to stop eating bananas because something in Bananas I had too much of. (a bad thing)

[ChairmanPoo]

potassium?

Have you been diagnosed of renal problems of some sort?

[Neonivek]

potassium?

Have you been diagnosed of renal problems of some sort?

No no no something about the Sugar or fat that is in Bananas (possibly a complex sugar)

Renal? hmm Dictionary AWAY!

Nope no Renal problems. The closest was the one time when I got really dehydrated..

[G-Flex]

I doubt bananas have much in terms of sugar aside from the usual sucrose/gluctose/fructose that most fruit has. Could just be that there's too much sugar?
