Today was really embarrassing. Toatlly humiliating.
After attachement at TTSH, I went down to school to take the NAPFA test as I did not go the last time due to a very bad headache.
I have finished the sit and reach, standing board jump, shuttle run and sit-ups (I will have to retake this one because I flubked this and I will fail the whole thing if I fail any one of them).
So I started ny 2.4km run. I was supposed to run six rounds in total. When I fhinished the second round, I was feeling nausea and short of breath. Everything was blur and I was having leg cramps. The paramedics saw this and they came over to ask if everything was alright. I said that I felt like fainitng and they brought me aside to sit down and rest. They gave me glucose diluted with water. They meansured my heart rate and oxygen level. The paramedics say that I have irregular heart beat so they decided to send me to NUH A&E for a thorough checkup.
They did an ECG for me and I spent two hours waiting in the bloody trolley waiting for a doctor to see me. Guess what? They tell me that there is nothing wrong, gave me an appointment with the cardiologist and some medicine and sent me home.
Not only did I flunk my NAPFA test, I have also managed to thoroughly humiliate myself. Now I wwish that there is really something wrong with my heart so that I least I don’t feel like an idiot.
