What Stress Does

Hi everyone. I have unfortunately been put into a very stressful and hurtful situation, at the most horrible timing possible with Christmas in a few days. That's all I can say about it, but I wanted to let you know so you also know that I may not be blogging as frequently or possibly not at all for a while. I am going to try my best to still get on here if I can, but if not, you now know why- kind of.

Anyways, I wanted to also use this as an opportunity to further detail how stress makes both MG and POTS worse. This is the absolute without a doubt most stressful experience in my life, so MG and POTS are both flaring like crazy. Here's what's been happening to me:

My bp dropped to 88/38.
My fever is up.
I can barely eat. I force myself to.
Down to the lowest weight I've ever been since being a teenager.
I got 1 hour of sleep one night, 4 hours another night. My normal is about 9.
My whole body feels like it's burning from the inside out.
I was coughing up some blood.
Chest pain, lots of chest pain.
I lost my voice/voice went too weak to use.
Blood pooling and tachycardia making me near passing out way too often.
Vision is all sorts of messed up.
Muscles, needless to say, are weak.
Breathing has been more difficult.

This is not a complete list and putting it mildly because oh yeah my brain fog has been out of control. Furthermore, I found out from my heart monitor my heart rate hit 180 which I've known the highest to be 169 so that wasn't too much of a shock, very high nonetheless. But the shock was my heart rate dropped as low as 6!! Is that even possible? Unless it was some kind of error, showing up multiple times, my heart gets so slow it's close to not even beating.  My heart is in fact broken so I guess that makes sense. Only a few people will get what I mean there, but it's not important. What is important is it is still beating, and while it is I must attempt to make that heart beat worth beating.

Please please keep me in your prayers. If nothing else, to get through this nearly unbearable time in life without landing in the hospital. Thank You.

Merry Christmas and God bless.
