Your Body Is Speaking

It begins with a small irregularity. A pulling in the chest. A spot on the skin that wasn't there yesterday. A tingling in the hand, a feeling of pressure at the throat, a headache that is different from usual. Other people would notice it and move on. In you it sticks. Attention anchors itself, and it doesn't let go. Within minutes you have the three most threatening possibilities in mind. Within an hour you are convinced that something serious is happening.
