Feeling No Pulse is Scary

The 2 nights before, my sleeping activity didn’t went well. Guess it was because of my excitement to go back to class. Think I’m crazy of saying that? Wait till you experience the life of enduring 1 unit per semester.

Straight to the point, I woke up in the middle of the morning arguing my brain to go back to sleep. But it was weird because everything was quiet except of the sound coming from the air-con. And it struck me… I didn’t feel any beating of my heartbeat.

I swear that I was in panic and did all the sort of stuff to make sure there that wasn’t the other dead JJ lying on the bed. Good news is that there wasn’t any sign of it. Bad news was, I thought, I couldn’t feel my heartbeat. I placed both palms on my chest… no sign of heartbeat. I pressed my fingers onto one side of my neck… no sign of heartbeat. I was so panicked that even though I knew I was breathing normally, I beat my chest once just to check whether there’s any sign of heartbeat and shoot, I thought I’m dead.

Till I placed my left palm just below my chest, at last… I could feel the heartbeat. I know and I assumed that this kind of phobia occurred if you didn’t sleep well. Luckily I’m not pursuing medicine or else… hurr hurr.

All I can hope for is to get a good night sleep tonight so that I can enjoy my lab tomorrow morning. Good night.

    In the meantime, don’t drink any coffee - let your body rest first.

    Take care, ya. :)

    JJ: Thanks for the concern, Jemima. And true, guess that I should cut down on caffeine.

    JJ: At first, I thought I was walking dead but I think it’s because of the caffeine that bothered me throughout that sleeping ordeal.

    Hey. You take care huh. Yr post evokes all kinds of emotions in me. A real nightmare to wake up n feel no pulse. There is a story of a guy in Europe who was wrongly diagnosed as dead by a drunk doctor. Anyway he woke up in a crypt. He thought he was in hell until he felt his pulse. I am talking weird tonight. Goodnight :)

    JJ: Thanks a lot for the concern, BengBeng. Really sorry if the post made you uncomfortable.
