Stressed
As mentioned in a previous entry, I've been having some stomach problems. I'm starting to suspect more and more that it's at least partially stress-induced.
More health stuff below the fold...
I say this partly because I've had stress-induced health problems before. About ten years ago I was diagnosed with pleurisy (inflamation of the pleuritic sac around the lungs causing difficulty breathing and severe chest pain), and my doctor determined it was stress induced. Apparently I was pulling in my left shoulder and holding it tight, thereby agitating the pectoral badly enough to irritate the tissues around the ribs all the way down to the pleuritic sac. Ever since then I would always feel my left pectoral start to burn whenever I was stressed.
And now, in the last week or so (as I'm now on my 9th straight 12+ hour day) I've been feeling that burn. At the same time, my stomach has been getting worse and worse.
Blech!

understood. I'm experiencing a few stress-related ailments myself right now. This, too, shall pass...
