Fear Factor?

Hi ya all, welcoming myself back from Macau. The weather there is terribly hot. Even wind blowing-by are warm. And mind you, it’s regardless of day or night. Hot, hot, hot. My fren mentioned relaxing at the hotel’s sauna should our schedule permits. But after a day there, I said no thanks. I’m experiencing ‘sauna’ all day long just being in the city itself.

Well, actually I was back on Monday. But it was a stressful week for me though for these past few days. Why?? just the next day after touchdown back in KL, I was ‘taken down’ by cough and sore throat. Then followed by mild cold (sounds familiar to the symptoms of …). OMG! what was I to think but...help!! doctor please!?!?. Though the symptoms are not constant, but my last straw was some chest pain. So without further delay, I went to the docs on Thursday for assurance or insurance, whatever.

The nurse called my name, and I entered the consultation room. Before sitting down, I looked at the doctor and told him that I’m here on an assumption of contracting H1N1?. The doctor gave me greeted me with an assuring look and told me have a sit first. Then he asked, “why? what happen?”. I told him that I’ve just visited Macau, then the cough, and the sore throat, and the cold thingy (the progress symptoms, as I called them). The kind doctor said not to worry first and proceed to his routine check. Anyway, after checking for signs of fever, taking my pressure, and checking my breath sound with his stethoscope, he said that I should have nothing to worry about. The cold and cough could be due to the change climate from travelling , and my chest pain, apparently is due to stress from wherever. Phew! What a relief to hear what’s been said by a professional. Thanks Doc.

And so, I left the place with some “Stress Relief Tablets” to be taken before sleep. Ahhhh… zzz’s………..
