Come mid afternoon, I felt something funny.
My heart was fluttering. Literally. Obviously, not in a good way.
It was as if my heart was struggling to beat. Like it was great effort to beat.
I did the easy test to see if I was having a stroke.
It is quite handy to know. It is funny how I once attended a seminar and sort of "never forgot" about the three steps.
1. Smile
2. Raise your arms to the side like you are forming a letter T
3. Recite a full sentence
I forget now the reasons behind each one. But if you find yourself unable to do at least one. You must NOT PANIC and try to force yourself to cough.
---------
I tried all three exercises and I was able to do each one.
Still not convinced, I forced myself to cough.
Still fluttering.
I sat down, placed my hand on my heart and took big, long inhales and even longer exhales.
----
I got better eventually.
The fluttering had gone, but my heart feels funny. Not sure if it is psychological.
Is this really what being thirty-something means?
