Kethsan - Go to the doctor. It will be worth it. People who are trained to save lives can help you. Better yet, go to a doctor in Canada, where it's free.
ReplyDeleteJohn W - Get health insurance, try healthinsurance.com. Try for medicare if you're "poor" enough. Immigrating to a country with free medical will be a problem, with Canada, your sponsor pays for any benefits that you may receive in the first three years, it's a great way to piss off family for life.
ReplyDeletedavid T - Effects of quitting.
ReplyDelete1 year: Your excess risk of suffering coronary heart disease has decreased to half the risk of a continuing smoker.
5 years: Your risk of having a stroke has decreased compared to continuing smokers, and will continue to decrease over time.
10 years: A decade after you quit smoking, your risk of lung cancer is now half that of people who keep smoking. You've also experienced a decrease in your risk of ulcers and other cancers, including cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, pancreas, kidneys, and bladder.
15 years: Your risk of coronary heart disease is now comparable to that of people who never smoked a single cigarette. Your risk of dying also is nearly back to the same level as that of non-smokers.
sweetheart - You could be a vegetarian. I have read some studies on this, and my mentor who is a PA is participating in this and strongly supporting it. There are studies being done that show a vegetarian diet can reduce your risk of heart disease and actually reverse existing heart damage if you keep at it faithfully. It's a dramatic change, but if you really believe your heart is troubled, this may help you.
