If there's one thing I've learned with my number of health issues, it's always important to have any symptoms/concerns that are different for you normally, or something that has changed, checked out. It may not just be stress, and there is a ton of overlap with different medical conditions. I wish I could be more helpful, but all I can offer is love and emotional support. I'm glad you're taking things seriously and I hope you're able to address the concerns. <3

As someone who wants to go into the medical field, what works for a patient works for them, and that's that. I don't see the harm in it, and this country's medical system is a nightmare all on its own. Please do what you need to take care of yourself. I wish I was in a position to help beyond just watching videos, but unfortunately broke college student is a phase of being, not a lifestyle 😭 Wishing you all the best

Sorry to hear about your health issues, Lola. I had something similar a few years back along with waking up tired with dry eyes and lips and it resulted in me quitting caffeine cold turkey and monitoring my electrolyte intake carefully. Speaking of which, I know you like the electrolyte powders but be careful not to rely on it, your body needs are different than what it supplies. In my case, it was oversupplying potassium while undersupplying sodium. Hyperkalemia is very dangerous. Nowdays I salt most things with pickling salt, take a magnesium pill while getting everything else from food, especially coconut water and herbal tea and feel great. Of course, talk to a doctor about it like you plan to anyways but let them know about your running, especially in Texas, your sodium requirements are probably even higher than mine and I'm in Nevada. In the summer, I can easily consume 5,000+mg of sodium daily and have normal BP.

Hey JB, I just wanted to let you know- I’m in Australia and went to the throne link you supplied; while your account initially shows for about 20 seconds, if I let it keep going OR if I try to pay for something for you, I get a ‘404 account not found’ message. Is throne a US specific site or is this something weird going on? I want to support your acupuncture (it works the bomb for me too where western alternative doesn’t ) and I can’t do it on that site. Maybe something to look into?

If you don't already have a spot, the "Neighborhood Acupuncture Project" near Mueller is fantastic, and offers sliding scale payments that you decide on. Feel better soon!

Hey y’all.❤️ I’ve added two health-related items to my Throne wishlist: one to help cover the cost of an out-of-pocket medical evaluation, and one for a series of acupuncture sessions.
I want to be transparent about why they’re there, while also reassuring you: I **truly** don’t think there’s any cause for alarm. The symptoms I’ve been experiencing for a couple of months—chest discomfort, heart palpitations, high blood pressure—are most likely related to stress. Still, I’d like to get checked out, just to be safe and make sure nothing indicates I might need more advanced evaluation or treatment.
I don’t currently have health insurance, and the low-income care I’ve applied for may take a while to be approved and kick in. In the meantime, I’m doing what I can to stay proactive and take care of myself.
Acupuncture might not be everyone’s thing, and that’s totally okay. But it’s worked well for me in the past, and it’s one of the more affordable and effective ways I can manage stress and blood pressure right now.
I know I’ve already received so much support and kindness from this community, and I don’t take that lightly. If this isn’t something you connect with, or you're just here to unwind and enjoy the videos, that’s **completely okay**. If you'd like to help but aren't in a position to, that's also **completely okay**. I’ll still be here doing what I love—helping you rest, recharge, and feel cared for. 💕
Thanks for taking the time to read, and thank you, always, for being part of this little world with me. 💚
Love,
JB
