You need a retriever. Or a poodle.

@PenguinMum that is such good news to hear about your son. I'm glad he has you all to be with.

The last time I was in the ER having my heart checked out they said it was a severe panic attack. I have had those for years. I hope that that is "all" it was for your son and that they will be able to help him. It terrifying.
 
Woke early ( painful cramps in foot , had to get up and walk it off )

Once sorted, onto First cuppa of day. Swiftly followed by the 2nd. :D

Fbg bang on rainbow 6.

Made chilli last night, done stir fry with it, and added a little grated cheddar.

very nice, but portion control went out the window sadly...so i stuffed after.

Going to have rein in my appetite this week
Off to India next week, so I'm sure to be more relaxed about how much I eat while away,

So it's a little work now to balance the difference I know is coming
so its a worthy cause :)
 
@PenguinMum Years ago when I was in my early 40s (and thankfully had health insurance) I had a good doctor who referred me to a local Mitral Valve clinic. There I was given several tests and diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome Dysautonomia (dysautonomia is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system). It is apparently what causes my panic attacks. I had had symptoms since early childhood but a major trigger was landing on my head after getting bucked off by a young horse, right before I went back to university after 3 years away -- a hugely stressful lifestyle change in itself.

Knowing what causes panic attacks and what triggers them hasn't cured mine. Taking an SSRI helps but it doesn't cure. I have had the equivalent of one EKG a year for the past 6 years, and last time they even did a heart X-ray as well.

Just my own experience -- FWIW. :)
