Hi, all.
This Sunday morning I spent several hours in the hospital after a bout of fast heart rate (~140 BPM) and numbness in my hands and forearms. We called an ambulance, fearing it was something very serious. But, praise be to God, all the tests—EKG, blood work, and chest x-ray—came back perfect. Turns out that it was simply a bonafide panic attack. While it was nothing serious, it was a wake-up call that I need to take better care of my mind. Most likely I am simply stressed for finals, but no doubt the constant theological debate that I willingly put myself through here on the internet is a big source of stress.
I have decided to cut ties completely with any kind of internet social sites for the time being, starting immediately. In that regard, this little episode has been a blessing. I would appreciate your prayers.
