male, 25 years old and skinny (been skinny all my life though). No drink or smoke and i was diagnosed with atopic eczema since i was little. I’ve been stressing a lot lately.

For the past 4 months now (after a flu) i have some weird symptoms that are debilitating. Some are hard to explain. H. Pylori is the only thing doctors found after a series of blood tests, EKG, chest x rays, nuclear scans for the chest, and breathing tests. No asthma but the only doubtful thing was that i couldn’t fully expire all the air out. I’m seeing a respiratory specialist and he’s still trying to figure out what’s wrong with me. He suggested it could be anxiety, a muscular disorder or lack of fitness or some kind of post-viral fatigue AKA fibromyalgia. He says he can hear a “whoosh” sound at the back but no sign of heart or lung disorders. He ordered some CT scans on chest now and fitness test.

I spent the last 4-5 years sitting in front of the pc for long hours without taking needed breaks. Perhaps it’s bad posture?

Symptoms:
* a shortness of breath that feels like having a book on top of my abdomen all the time. Gets worse on minimal exertion.
* tightness along the left chest/rib wall ( gets worse when i lift up my left arm or try to walk straight, i have to bend forward)
* pressure. I don’t know where but it can happen in my head, stomach, back, left arm.
* Lightheaded. Sometimes i feel i’m going to black out or pass out.
* Weakness? Fatigue? sometimes i feel my whole body is going to paralyse. I’m doing something simple such as cooking and i start feeling weak and i have to sit down for 30-45 mins because i can’t stay up. This affects my speech, swallowing, breathing etc.
* i see my left rib cage kinda “swollen” all the time or is pushing outwards a bit
* struggle to focus
* struggle to relax, i feel tense most of the time
* sore eyes
* occasional headaches
* easy to forget things
* face feels hot all day, gets better at night.

Movement such as travelling in a car can trigger the first 4 symptoms. It’s not the usual nausea some people feel it’s much worse and scarier than that. Exercise makes me sick too so i have to stay home all day without doing much. Can’t go to college or work anymore.

Any suggestions? cos i’m lost. thanks and sorry for the long post.

You may be wondering why I’ve been asking these questions, well, it’s just a most unfortunate fact, that due to our system of education in this country we have atheist professors who are applying an indefinite number of words to describe and undermine our societal structure, the supports that make society such as life, family, marriage, and so forth…They are attacking these, structure by simply saying “The word family can mean anything you want it to mean” … “The word marriage can mean anything you want it to mean” “The word life can mean anything you want it to mean” on and on. In effect, then you have third and next generation young people who don’t have the necessary tools and mentality to become productive citizens, basically reprobates. This is postmodernism …. tell everyone you see that postmodernism is bad news. And if you are a believer in the structures that make up society, please tell these professors where to go and how to get there.

Anyway, what does life mean to you? To me, life has it’s beginnings from day one or conception. Life is precious. Life has intrinsic worth, becase Somebody loved us enough to impart that life to us, hence, intrinsic. Life is the Creation of God of which He breathed the breath of life into man.
No, I’m afraid not, Miss Independent. Life is worthy regardless of what we think of it, because we didn’t give it. We just help to create it. A marvelos gift, that God has given each person.
