Caffeine Rush

According to Wikipedia, Palpitation is the abnormal awareness (because it interrupts other thoughts compared to normal awareness wherein it is caused by a concentration on the beating of one’s heart) of the beating of the heart; whether it is too fast, too slow or irregular.

Palpitation may be brought from overexertion, adrenaline, caffeine, cocaine, amphetamines and other drugs. Attacks can last for a few seconds to a few hours, and includes symptoms such as sweating, shaking, faintness, chest pain and dizziness. It can also be associated with anxiety and panic attacks in which case, psychological assessment is needed.

This is what I’m going through right now. I am palpitating and although I try to brush it aside, I can’t ignore the fact that I can feel my heart beating irregularly (too fast) in my chest. I have had too much caffeine and chocolate today. Though I try my best to minimize the intake of coffee and chocolate in my daily diet, I can’t help it but indulge myself with these temptations since I rely on them to survive the hectic and mind-boggling exercise called COLLEGE.

Epekto ng Pagpupuyat

AYOKO NA MAGPUYAT DAHIL:

1. NAKAKASIRA NG DIET

Dahil gising ka buong gabi, siyempre hindi mo mapipigilang magutom. Hindi ka kumakaen ng dinner para hindi ka tumaba. Pero pag nagpupuyat ka, pagdating ng alas-dos ng umaga, kakalam ang tiyan mo at maalala mo bigla na hindi ka pa nga pala kumakaen ng hapunan.

2. MABIGAT SA BULSA

Sira na nga ang diet mo, mabigat sa bulsa ang pagpupuyat. Dahil magugutom ka, mapipilitan kang kumaen. Kung saktong malas ka pa at wala kang naka-stock na pagkain na pwedeng gawing snack, mapipilitan kang lumabas ng bahay at kumain sa isang fast-food restaurant katulad ng Jollibee o Mcdo (na usually ay 24hours) para kumain. At dahil sa matinding komersyalisasyon sa ating bansa, sobrang mahal ng bilihin ditto at mapipilitan kang maglabas ng pera.

3. NAKAKAHILO

Habang naglalakad ka papunta ng Jollibee o Mcdo, gegewang-gewang ka dahil sa hilo at antok. Madadapa ka sa mga ‘obstacles’ na hindi mo nakikita dahil madilim ang dinadaanan mo. Madalas mahulog ang kinakain mo dahil wala ng lakas para hawakan ang kubyertos.
