Oh, Doctor!

1.00pm:
Dizzy and out of breath
1.30pm:
Practically gasping for breath after climbing just 3 flights of stairs
2.15pm:
Felt on the verge of blacking out, airways felt constricted.

*At this point I panicked and rushed to see a doctor. Bronchitis? Pneumonia? Collapsed lung?*

At the clinic..

Doctor:
The assistant says you cannot breathe properly? do you have asthma?

Me:
*shakes head*

Doctor:
Okay... *Takes out stethoscope and starts listening to me breathe*
Hmm... *brings stethoscope to my upper abdominal area and listens for a very long time*

Me:
*bangang* (where are my lungs? Have they collapsed and laid lifeless down there?)

Doctor:
*frowns* Girl!!! Please don't skip meals ah. You must eat properly. Actually your lungs cannot take in much air because your stomach expanded... because there's so much trapped gas. Your gastric isvery bad! You must eat!

Me:
I eat more than 3 times a day. And I cannot feel the gastric pain.

Doctor:
Yea, you cannot feel the pain... Even worse, you just cannot breathe.
You better start eating, no need always diet diet. Just eat!

Me:
Okay, I'll try making it 8 meals a day instead of just 6.

Me thinks it might be stress giving me gas (hey, it rhymes) hahha...

so remember kids:

NO NEED DIET DIET!!! JUST EAT!!
