Best wishes and good vibes out to you, PakiDan. Keep pushing, man. You'll definitely be in my thoughts.
This is just a shock. I don't know you, but I feel for you. It takes amazing strength to pull through something like this, but God is here for you. Lean on Him. I ask that God do a miracle in your life. Just know you have me here fighting for you spiritually.
hang in there. just be sure to lead a healthier lifestyle from now on.
@ Paki talking about BigZak and wings. Good times.
Dude you know you have to do the Mexican thing and have a BBQ plate sell off. I'm sure Big Zak and I can alone fund anything just by eating those plates.
Good luck with everything Dan.
I suffer from Heart Pain every now and then, sometimes I wonder if I am going down the wrong path. Anything you would recommend?
Go get checked out by a cardiologist. I was having chest pain and tingling in my left arm. I thought it was crazy for someone as young as me (29 yrs) to be feeling this so I took no chance at all and got checked out. Everything is fine, Thank God. I was DX with anxiety. I still worry from time to time, but I have faith that everything will be alright.
If you're worried Ram, go get checked out.
Best wishes Dan. Keep your spirits up and your great sense of humor.
I'm sorry to hear this PakiDan. I hope everything works out for you. Stay strong and positive
I have been checked out and all the Doctors tell me I am a healthy 23 year old with a healthy heart. I get short of breath now and then and I have the same tingling in my left arm and sometimes a heaviness in my chest.
I do drink and smoke (weed), so I think that could be causing me problems. I am working my best to correct that situation : / News like this really makes me rethink what I am doing.
Best of luck Pakidan.
My prayers go out to you Dan.
Hang in there, Dan.
All the best of luck.
Ram, it sounds like anxiety and some of your habits may cause that. Seriously. I use to get anxiety attacks when I was around 20 years old. At that time I use to smoke weed too. The doctor at that time told me that weed could cause people to feel anxious. Not everyone, but it does happen. Lay off of it.
Thanks Mo, I appreciate the advice.
definitely will keep you in the ole thoughts and prayers, hope everything ends up alright and we can be stuck with you around here for years to come.
No problem. Just keep positive. Same for Paki. I know God is gonna do something special in your life.
Sorry to hear that, Dan. All the best to you.
Yo man. I've dealt with anxiety and panic attacks for a while now. I had a really bad experience with way too much LSD and it kind of triggered a whole ordeal related to hypochondria and anxiety. Not sure why it's happening to you, but I do know it's unpleasant.
I've pretty much gotten over it without the use of drugs or anything else, but I did do two things that helped immensely. The first is exercise. All I do is run and play basketball as much as possible. The second thing I've done is meditate. Meditation is the number one thing a person can do to balance out their 2 nervous system branches, which is essentially your problem; an inbalance in the way your nervous system tries to protect you.The autonomic nervous system has two subsections or branches called the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. It is these two branches of the nervous system which are directly involved in controlling the body's energy levels and preparation for action. Very simply put, the sympathetic nervous system is the fight/flight system which releases energy and gets the body "primed" for action while the parasympathetic nervous system is the restoring system which returns the body to a normal state.
One important point is that the sympathetic nervous system tends to be largely an all or none system. That is, when it is activated, all of its parts respond. In other words, either all symptoms are experienced or no symptoms are experienced; it is rare for changes to occur in one part of the body alone. This may explain why most panic attack involve many symptoms and not just one or two.
One of the major effects of the sympathetic nervous system is that it releases two chemicals called adrenalin and noradrenalin from the adrenal glands on the kidneys. These chemicals, in turn, are used as messengers by the sympathetic nervous system to continue activity so that once activity in the sympathetic nervous system begins, it often continues and increases for some time.
If you're interested here's a download link for an audio book on mindfulness by John Kabat-Zinn, with some guided meditations. Seriously, it's the best thing I've ever learned to do.

Just click the button that says free and wait for the sixty second timer to stop. Then start your download and unzip the file it gives you.
I've always wanted to start meditating, thanks for the link. I will check it out when I get home from work.
Sure man. I know it sounds a little bit hokey and the first couple weeks it's like, why is sitting on my ass like this, doing absolutely nothing, beneficial? But in all seriousness, taking care of the mental part of my body is the number one thing I've done to help the physical.
thoughts and prayers man......
All the best to you and yours, PakiDan ... a lot of people will be praying for you.
I too have been fighting anxiety w/out medicine. Exercise is a good way to release all that anxiety and stress.
Beating the out of Laker fans is good, too.
Can't donate my heart, so I've donated my sig below. We ain't done with you yet, Dan, so don't think you're getting out that easy.
