Silent Killer
Today was like supposed to be just like every other day. On another early Monday morning, just like every time I had to get up 2 hours before school, I woke up and went downstairs for breakfast at 6:30. I clean the mess from last night’s dinner with my brother and get ready to go with my Father to school.
On the way I remembered that i had forgotten my wallet at home, so I wasn’t going to have lunch and I didn’t eat breakfast either. Around 11:00, I start my English class where we where reading the long confusing Shakespeare plays when it hits me.
Pain. Intense sharp needle like pain in my chest. Subtle at first, but as I continued breathing, the pain got worse. So, to solve this, I thought my chair was too tight to the desk. I moved back. Not helping. Clenched at the chest and bent over. Breathed slower. Not helping. Tore off my jacket and bent over in my chair fully. Not helping. And my breath kept getting shorter and shorter until I was barely gasping one every 5 seconds.
I reached over and hit my friend and he got the point. The Teacher phoned school administrator. They all came down and told me to lie on the floor. By this time, I was nauseous and convulsing because of lack of oxygen and trauma. I lie there shaking as my teacher moves tables and finds jackets so that I can get my head elevated. The. students leave the classroom. My teeth start chattering and I am near tears when the paramedics come in, 8 grown men with machines, clipboards, walkie talkies, and suits storm into the classroom and strap things on me. A red-lighted finger clamp to check my pulse, a blood pressure thing on my arm to check my blood, and 4 sticky clamps attached to wired to check other vitals of some sort. After 15 minutes, the pain subsides almost completely, except when I started to stand.
The Homework on Advantages Of Changing The High School Start Time
Advantages of changing the high school start time. Education is very important part of our life, so no wonder that our government focuses great attention on both: education process and the students being the integral part of good educational system. The modern school educates children with one objective in mind: their academic success. There are many committees investigating the option of a later ...
Vital signs, good. Blood pressure, Good. Pulse, strong steady and fast. Adrenaline rush, maybe. Anxiety attack, maybe. Hospitalization, not necessary. By that time, they had called my mom and she came down from The Brown flats in 14 minutes. That is pretty speedy if I say so myself.
2 days ago, I decided to seriously drop my caffeine addiction. Whenever I wanted coke or coffee, I would chew gum. Sugar free gum. That weekend alone, I had about 2 and a half packs. What is in it? Unnatural sugar. False chemicals. Basically, powdered problems in my family. I did not have these pains before and never known the cause, nor did it strike me that sugar-free gum could screw me up so bad.
I had no idea that something so simple could cause to much harm. It was supposed to be an ordinary day. It was supposed to be regular and basic, just like every routine. Humans are a creature of habit, but that sometimes leaves us unprepared to handle whatever addictions we have with out lives. To sum it all up, two negatives don’t make a positive. Solving one addiction with another one causes more damage than intended
