While you might not be able to give art a break, be sure to not let the anxiety of getting it done make whatever is wrong worse. Everyone watching you I'm sure is understanding of what is happening with you, and the delays on everything.

And hopefully, they'll find out what's wrong sooner rather than later.

Wishing you the best of health ahead, sir. <3

Make sure your health comes first and do ALL you can to rectify the situation. >v<
Wishing you well my friend.

I wish you could move to Canada so we can help you with our free healthcare man. What a cruel fuckin world.

Don't worry about quality, just worry about quantity, don't worry and just do. Easier said than done, but it's what works when it does work. I'm a hypocrite because I never practice, but dude? You're awesome no matter which way you esteem your own art. That matter of the fact is you practice and you have the skills to show for it.

I really want to commission you one day man. One day, hopefully. You're awesome just the way I see you as you are.

Dude, take all your time. Also, try not to die. I wouldn't appreciate that.
Cheers'n good luck'n stuff.

Dear: RandomDude.

I have also gone through an unusual problem with my esophagus/stomach and it resulted in trouble swallowing - I am not a doctor, but speaking from experience, it may be an issue with a hernia in your stomach valve called a hiatal hernia. It may be tied to GERD or acid reflux and can be the cause of discomfort while breathing or laying down.

It is not life threatening but you should definitely speak with a physician. Usually, they require no treatment but if you have symptoms of acid reflux or regurgitation it may be an indication you have GERD or other reflux-related problems. I am on a prescription-strength acid suppressant as a result. However, a very bad hiatal hernia may require treatment. Speak to your doctor as soon as you can.

A Set of questions my 3 doctor friends asked me when I had some similar issues (though admittedly not as extreme as yours and much more focused on my fears and anxiety) was if I could identify what was making me anxious and if my eating habits have changed recently. If you have any doctor friends in your circle of trust, I recommend swallowing your own pride like I had to do and simply asking. Seek out the connections your close friends can afford you. Your friends care about you and your health :)

Owwww....... Just... Take care!

I'm sorry to hear this, I know you'll get out of this situation eventually. I wish you the best with your health and everything else.

Take your time, this sounds like a serious condition.

Yikes, I hope you can work out what's wrong and get it treated soon then.

Christ, I know how that is though, finding out what is actually wrong is sometimes half the problem. Hope everything goes well.

Hope your able to get well and recover, good luck.

You know what worse, when your health problems already been diagnosed.
But government refuse to support your loan for the treatment course outboard.
Can't find any private hospital that willing to help.
And your health makes you hopeless to do anything on your own.

I know how shitty this world can be, but hang in there.
Don't stress yourself with work, try getting a loan from family or friend.
Get better treatment, screw money, it ain't worth your health.
Make it your top priority, the sooner the better.

This is something I know very good. Since over 10 years I suffer exactly the symptoms you wrote. It took over 9 years and many many doctors till the right diagnosis came. I wish you many many power of endurance. Get well soon.

If you feel pain or weakness in your left arm then its your heart. If you feel pain in your heart and you have no symptoms in the left arm, then it could be the heart valve. I get the same pains and sometimes at random i feel the pain like 2 of them and its goes BOOM BOOM real quick and it scares the shit out of me. I quit smoking and i am starting to feel the side effects of quitting.

If you are feeling faint then yeah its the heart. Usually. It starts with getting dizzy or weak and then if it gets that bad then yeah it can make you faint which is dangerous.

Usually its the Pulse when you see it from a Blood Pressure Meter. My mom has me drink lots of Pomegranate juice and i take a table spoon of Olive Oil and over time it helps a bit. I still get the pains but its very faint now and doesnt hurt as much and sometimes nothing at all.

Now for your stomach, your anxiety attacks is turning it into an Ulcer. You have to learn to cope and settle down, even the most rough things. Or else you just gonna keep on getting it.

The rest of the things happening, i am not sure. I am no doctor but just sharing my experience.

Best thing i do is i go sleep sitting up a bit. Not literately but at a slant so the blood can just flow a bit better. It does help. I tried sleeping flat on my side and i get the pains. I grab like 3 pillows and create this angle for my back and neck. Never let your neck lay back. It will choke you in your sleep.

You will surely see a Cardiologist. Might have to do some blood testing. I am due to seeing one Dec 5th for my thing. I have Medi-cal. All i did was sign some papers, show them proof of my earnngs if its enough or not. I get approved and im set. For out of California, its Medicare. Same deal though.

If the heart was having issues, you would feel the boom boom from the heart beat over and over.

Its usually caused by Poor Eating Habits like Fast Food and junk. Also can be from Smoking and Drinking. Can be anything really but for now i would just take natural remedies until you see a doctor which is gonna recommend you to a Cardiologist. The others things to other specialists.

Who knows, you might have Sleep Apnea. I know i do.

There's a lot wrong with these assumptions. A lot of things (besides heart trouble) causes weakness/faintness.

I appreciate the intent, but a lot of this feels like you're projecting your experience onto someone else. Medical situations vary greatly in spite of a few symptoms being similar.

I feel that way about my mental health. A lot of the time I just wanna stay in bed or just do nothing on the computer. It really fucks up my ability to do art. And I hate it. I really need a therapist, someone to vent to about the problems I have who won't judge me. I also need to regularize my schedule.

I hope you get well soon and figure out whats causing all this.
Look after yourself <3

You're right about it being anxiety related.
Can't say for sure if it's exactly the same, I'm no medical expert. But I hope this information will save you time and point you in the right direction.
Do you get acid reflux (mouth sick) when you get the esophageal and stomach pain?

My wife had the same symptoms before being diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder.

We spent a whole year with a gastologist investigating her with endoscopy and prescribing proton pump inhibitor tablets to reduce stomach acid. All tests were negative and we never got anywhere, just suffered and wasted time.

Eventually when we had a normal visit to the doctor, he noticed my wife was having an anxiety attack as we were waiting, stomach pain, shaking, chest pain, rapid heart rhythm etc. and diagnosed her properly, giving her anti-anxiety medication, well the same as an antidepressant.

These did help amazingly, stopped all the symptoms, but they also come with a lot of side effects, so always check this out with your doctor if you do go down that road.
This is a workaround, not a solution.
The solution is to find and treat the root cause of your anxiety if that is the case.

Notice any patterns, events or occurrence that happen before you have these manifestation of symptoms? Could be work, interacting with certain individuals, going to certain places, doing certain things or knowing you are going to be involved in something in the near future?

Good luck to you dude, whatever it may be.

These symptoms have greatly decreased in the last few weeks. Im' almost certain it were a physical issue. I now seek testing to at least check off the short list of possible physical causes for the time being so that I can avoid this sort of thing in the future. On principle I am very anti psychostimulant based medication because of how much pharmaceutical companies do exploit the vastly gray areas in our grasp on mental health, and our still developing understanding of the mind's relation to physical well being.

I.... hope that my advice from a couple years ago isn't responsible for this. :(

Not even. this is injury related, nothing to do with nutrition.

Okay good. ;v;
