An Interesting Way To Awake

It was around 4:00 AM that I woke up with my toes tingling. Isn’t that annoying? I shifted my legs around and gave them a bit of a kick to make sure any clothing or covers weren’t bunched up under my legs and inhibiting circulation.

The toes stopped tingling, but then my fingers began doing it. So I shifted my upper body around but they wouldn’t stop tingling. I even considered stripping nude, which, generally speaking, isn’t an uncommon way to sleep anyway.

Yet the thought crossed my mind that these tingling sensations were a sign of a possible heart attack. I can’t recall now if I’m remembering correctly or where I read this from, but I decided to get out of my little locked bedroom and sit in the other room for awhile instead of going nude.

There was probably nothing to my concern, but the tingling sensation didn’t stop after I had walked into the other room and laid in the recliner.

I thought of how ironic it would be if I had a heart attack now. I’m only 27, and as of a few days or so ago I’ve changed to a much healthier diet. The only meat that I’ve eaten in the last, roughly, four days was some lean white meat turkey. Then there’s all of the tea that I’ve been drinking, the few salads that I’ve eaten, the tons of oat meal… go figure, eh?

At 27 I really should not even be concerned about such a thing, but I’ve had high blood pressure for so long now that it’s become “traditional”. I’ll visit a doc, they’ll do the arm squeechie thing that they always do, eyebrows will raise, they’ll switch arms, go “hmm..”, switch back.. It’s kind of amusing to watch them.

Anyhow, there’s that.

In closing, I would like to mention that I’m not very fond of Lipton teas, black teas, and this tea that I’m trying for the first time is a.) way too strong (my fault), b.) all of the above. :-&
