...gasp...

Yesterday I suffered a bout of hyperventilation. I think it is hyperventilation. I experienced it once while I was about 9 years old; there was a tightening of chest accompanied by numbness, a sudden big gasping for breaths, but it went away after about 5 minutes.

Yesterday night, it was different. Maybe I am an adult so it's different? Yesterday it was more serious. I was talking halfway and suddenly I went "heeeerrrrrrrrrrrr"......followed by "heeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr"....again. BOy, my mind was wondering....what's this?... but I had no time. The next thing I knew, I was bending over my sink trying to breathe or catch any air I could get. I can't control my breathing and the numbness over my entire chest was severe. My face was getting the needles. Don't know about the rest of my head. Couldn't think so much then. My hands were numbed and so were my knees... I could still stand but bending, and I can't feel anything from my hands... I don't even dare to move.

Boy, I think it went on for 20 minutes or so, the numbness, the tightness. My tears kept falling uncontrollably. Finally the breathing was more bearable but the numbness in the stomach continues.

I don't know why it started and why I was having this. I don't think it's asthma. Any ideas what it was? Was I too agitated or stressed?

Petal Updates *~.~*~.~*

HiHi! Have been in a slight “withdrawal” syndrome for the past few weeks. Sorry to worry some of my friends here… hugs*

I haven’t been idling during this period. Some good news to share :) too! I found a new job so I will be starting at a new place next month which is a week away only. Really fast, yeah? :) I am really happy to have found a new job.


Now, a sneak preview on the painting I have been working on since I found my subject, dearie green chrysanthemums (thanks to Pradeep who sent me a link on this picture; see little picture on top left hand side of photograph). The painting is not completed yet. Should take another month or two to finish since I only work on it about one-and-a-half hours per week which is not very long…

Meanwhile, a hug for everyone! And hope everyone has been well too! :))))

Love,
*~.~*~.~*QB*~.~*~.~*
