For the last two weeks I've been having health issues. I'm not one to complain publicly or post about my presonal life in too much detail but ehre goes.
Back in May I went home to the USA for a visit and began feeling yucky several days after I got there (not in the jet lag way). After feeling increasingly like I couldn't breathe my mom urged me to the doctor despite the fact that my insurance is not good outside Japan.
The person I saw basically said that my allergies have gotten so bad I've now got a 'reactive airway component' and urged me to stay on the claritin and gave me asthma meds (an inhaler). She recommended I get allergy testing done as well. There was not time to do this in the States. Anyway things were going well up till two weeks ago when I felt the shortness of breath again.
Two weeks of misery later, my feeling of not beign able to breathe turned into chest pain and the doctor here thinks its my heart.
Scared feling lonely and frustratd by doctors who don't speak my native toungue.
