24/7 shortness of breath

Literally throughout the day every single day past month or so I’ve had bad air hunger, checked my lungs at a pulmonologist and heart and everything came back clear.

Has anyone else dealt with this? I wake up in morning struggle to get a real breath and it carries on throughout the day. Previously only had difficulty swallowing and burping symptoms and this new one is seriously ruining my life. I can’t even exercise anymore and previously I was very fit.

I’m on PPIs (Nexium) daily and that hasn’t helped at all so far.

Does anyone have any success stories dealing with this specific symptom?

Genuinely so depressed these days

What to do when you get frozen out of games?

Have a friend that I play padel with occasionally and he’s at a noticeably lower level than me and the opponents normally quickly pick up on it and start hitting around 70-80% of balls to him.

I feel like I’m unable to influence the game as much as I should be able to.

Is there anything I can do tactically? Should I try crossing over more often to his side? Calling high balls?

Or any tips I could give him? Like playing more parallel, more or less lobs etc?

Help would be much appreciated, thank you! 🙏

Edit: I’m left handed by the way, so I’m extremely unfamiliar with playing on the left side

Does this tattoo look two weeks healed? It still seems so bumpy and not at all settled yet. Have I messed up with the healing process?

How would a tattoo like this age? Would the details in the liquid just end up turning black eventually?

4 days post tattoo, does this peeling look normal? Also at this point should I swap to a thinner unscented moisturiser rather than the bepanthol tattoo cream?

Severe exhaustion after this tattoo

It’s been around 24 hours since I got it and I feel genuinely at 20% energy all I can think about is sleeping

Should I be concerned? My first tattoo was larger but had less black packed in and I felt nowhere near this tired

Any advice would be much appreciated

Edit-really sore muscles around the body as well

Seriously depressed dealing with LPR/GERD for over 3 years

Haven’t felt like I’ve been able to swallow or breathe properly for so long now, it’s got to the point where I can’t even exercise properly anymore. Been on Nexium for the last two months and no change yet in fact it’s getting worse.

Sensation of throat being blocked is just a permanent feeling now and feel like I can’t breathe properly without yawning, over last month or two been having awful lightheadedness throughout the day also.

I need to quit vaping but it’s the only thing giving me (relief?) from my anxiety and depression that’s coming with these feelings and I understand that it’s probably making it 10x worse. Is nicotine in general bad? Could I possibly switch to snus or patches?

I got so worried recently that I checked my lungs/heart/blood work and all came back perfect.

Please give me advice on how to actually improve and hopefully one day not have any of these awful symptoms.

I still drink coffee daily and vape daily which I suppose are the main things holding me back.

Just struggling bad, I’m 25 and feel the worst I’ve ever felt in my life mentally and physically and just want to feel normal again. Appreciate any help. Thank you.

Chingalan + Coello/Tapia Dominance

I recently got into watching padel tournaments and I wanted to ask when the last time it was anyone other than those two pairs in the finals?

How/why are they so dominant? Is anyone even getting close to matching them? Especially in lower rounds it looks like they don’t even break a sweat half the time in some matches

How big is the skill gap between the top 8 vs top 25 if it’s the same players in the semis and finals pretty much every tournament

How do tattoos like this age? (Specifically the black work areas, would any detail around or on it hold up)

u/ChrisOuzou — 2 months ago

Feel like I’ve boxed myself into what tattoos I can get to add to my arm (sleeve)

It’s been about 1.5 months since my first tattoo and I love it don’t get me wrong, but I’m finding it hard to visualise what I could add to my upper arm in terms of ideas other than just more flowers.

Ive looked into gothic styles but nothing really works in the size that I’m looking for for my 2nd tattoo.

In the 2nd picture I showed the area which I want to get next, any ideas of what could fit in that spot? (Other than a sick ass panther/more flowers)

What is the ideal amount of sleep during nap if you only got 4~ hours the night before?

Basically summed up in title, it’s around 12:30 midday currently and feel like I’m crashing at work, I get home for lunch soon and will have around 2.5 hours before going back to work.

What is the optimal amount of time to rest since I only got 4 hours last night. Have a tennis game later in the evening also. I’ve heard 20 mins or 90 mins but which would be best in my current state?

Any help would be much appreciated

Day 5 of new first tattoo - still no sign of peeling or any sort of change in the look since appointment, just a bit rough. Is there a chance it just doesn’t peel and stays as is?

u/ChrisOuzou — 3 months ago

What went wrong this game?

Decided to queue up during work hours (my fault I know) and ended up with this completed board on around 4-5, I proceeded to lose every round after it with my jhin barely being able to kill anything until I went dead last.

I’m a consistent master/gm player more or less every set but something just isn’t clicking for me. In this game in particular does anything egregious stand out? I felt like I didn’t play too poorly but something for sure went wrong with my board set up.

Any help would be appreciated:))
