Health Problem or Just Hypochondria?

Poultry is healthy enough, it's just the skin and the oil for frying that's bad.

Heart conditions can also cause tiredness, and can even cause pains on the opposite side of the chest. It's not necessary to have all of the symptoms to be having a heart problem episode. It's also not necessary for all of your symptoms to be ongoing. Because you have had several heart related symptoms, you need to have this checked out, and don't drive yourself to the hospital. If you don't want to call the ambulance, have family/friend/neighbor take you, or call a cab, but DO NOT DRIVE YOURSELF. Maybe you don't care if you are in a car accident, but you don't have the right to endanger the other people out on the roads.

If you don't have insurance, BY LAW, hospitals have to treat you anyway, or direct you to someone who can take care of you. Afterward, they can help you figure out a payment plan, or find funding through the government, or through a charity organization.

Now head for the emergency room ASAP

I get symptoms like this all the time. I think it's generalized anxiety disorder. It's not as bad as it used to be, however. Before my diagnosis with Asperger's and for a time afterwards I would feel like I had gone for at least five minutes without taking a breath. Then I'd feel like I couldn't get enough air into my lungs, even though I'd be inhaling so deeply they felt ready to crack. If I was walking down the street the sidewalk would suddenly feel like it was rolling under my feet. Usually this would last only a few minutes, but at night I would sometimes wake up feeling just like I was having a heart attack. Nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, and worst of all the horrible feelings of impending doom. You can't really can't know what that's like unless you've experienced it. If I went to the hospital the staff basically treated me like a nuisance, although one time they found out I had a bladder infection although that didn't explain the other stuff.
I'd think they'd leave me to die if I really was dying.

For the past couple of weeks I've been getting a lot of headaches for no apparent reason. I don't know if it's the humid weather, anxiety, dehydration, my time of month, playing the 3DS too much even with the 3D off, or something really horrible like brain tumors. When I take some Tylonel at the start of the headache it usually goes away, but in a day or so I wake up with another one. Arrrgh.
