I woke up with chest pain, and after a month of on and off chest pain, I went into urgent care. My vitals were good, passed EKG, did labwork, and I drank this weird concoction that made my mouth numb.

Turns out, it's acid reflux due to all the stress I've been under.

I gotta cut back even more on the coffee, which I rely on and enjoy so much, cut out spicy and fried food, and I got a prescription for an acid reducer.

And I also need to relax more.

Turns out my heart, liver, and kidneys are all healthy, but the chest pain has been really scaring me with all I am going through and preparing for right now.

I am not sure how to relax more, because I'm not a person who likes to sit around. And graduation is around the corner, so there's a lot to do.

I'm just so stressed out...face masks, nail polish and ice cream are all fine and dandy but it's like a bandaid slapped on a major wound. I really need to find ways that will keep me really calm for the long term.

Yikes.
