Ο τίτλος είναι αρκετά ξεκάθαρος. Προτείνετε Ο,ΤΙ θα έκανε ο μέσος Θεσσαλονικιός στην καθημερινότητα του, όχι κάτι το εξεζητημένο, και τα στέκια στα οποία αράζετε. Αν υπάρχει κάτι το οποίο δεν είναι τόσο γνωστό, ακόμη καλύτερα.
This is just an ordinary day at Panormou station, with the kick of lower traffic, due to holidays.
Sorry for the rant in advance, but like, after being in Vienna for four days, I have to say, that indeed, Athens for me is quite ugly.
Yes, Vienna had it's bads, it's not nearly as perfect, there are homeless people everywhere in the Innere Stadt, there are graffiti, and lots of it, especially around Kettenbrückengasse, reminding me of Psyrri at how many graffiti it had and the type of bars it had, and the metro wasn't nearly as good as I thought it'd be. Their older trains, which aren't that older from our eldest trains, are pretty dirty.
But it was compensated by the architecture. It literally is incomparably beautiful to potentially any other European capital. And it's transport network is really extensive. It's not just buses that are extensive. But trams and the metro.
Athens on the other hand, only has Plaka and sparsed out neoclassical buildings. But after the 60s, its neoclassical and Art Deco architecture has been lost, and we ended up with... What everyone sees and lives in. Granted, they provide housing and yes, they're mostly pretty comfortable, and most renovate the interiors to be extra modern, but the outside also matters.
The transport of Athens relies on 3 metro lines with 72 stations and 2 tram lines, and then buses, which is 250+ lines, a lot more than Vienna's, but they're stuck in Athens's HORRIBLE traffic. Good thing is that they've brought all the new ones, thankfully. There's close to no bus from before 2013.
But... If you don't live in the suburbs, which are objectively nicer, then... it's not that enjoyable to live there.
Hello, I've been in Vienna for 3 days now, and honestly, due to the fact that most shops close by 8 pm, we only went to the Praterdome Wien this past night, and to be honest, me coming from Greece, Athens, where clubs and nightlife are a lot more intense, and I don't mean in a trashy way, it was underwhelming.
Is there any chance that today, which is the day of the Virgin's Dormition, which is also a huge holiday in Greece, that there are open traditional inns. I saw that they're called "Wirtshaus".
I think 100% it was a PVC. At what frequency do I have to worry for me getting into cardiac arrest?
Any time I feel this, it's accompanied by a feeling of loss of breath, without me actually losing my breath. And last time this was happening was two months ago.
I'm afraid for cardiac arrest...
The western parts are the known concrete jungle. But the eastern parts towards Penteli Mount are pronouncedly greener, and it's very, very visible even from afar.
I'll get to an appointment in early July, as a follow up to the fact that last year in July 2025, on an ultrasound done in the ER department of the hospital, they found two gallbladder polyps measuring 6 and 5 mms respectively, and these had grown from 5 and 4 mms respectively from another ER visit in November of 2024 for another reason.
But in the meantime: I have that middle right back pain, which corresponds to where the gallbladder and pancreas are, which makes me EXTREMELY worried that I have gallbladder cancer. Or pancreatic cancer. I really, really am dreading and ruminating in that thought.
And for that, I constantly am thinking that I have no time left on this Earth.
Mind you, no loss of appetite. Or weight loss. Just compared to the winter, where in itself compared to the summer, I'm always heavier, I'm lighter for 4 kgs, 73 kg now, 77 kg in January. But last year I was 68 kgs at this same time.
I'm so terrified.
I've had gallbladder polyps first diagnosed on an ER visit for a completely unrelated abdominal pain, which was generalised. They were 5 and 4 mms. 8 months later, when I went to the hospital for a severe food poisoning, my polyps went to 6 and 5 mms respectively.
​
Because I have intermittent upper right abdominal pain, I'm worried that it might be gallbladder cancer.
​
And if it isn't the gallbladder, it might be the pancreas, although no imaging, neither the two ultrasounds, nor the CT scan I did after the first ER visit, showed anything on the pancreas or the liver.
​
I'm just 23 years old. This cannot be happening.
I really can't stop having these racing, destructive thoughts.
​
Because I have a right sided abdominal pain, in the upper right, accompanied with a right sided back pain at times, I can't help of thinking that I have pancreatic or gallbladder cancer.
I also spiral because I keep thinking that upper right abdominal pain cannot be usual, and that me having it means I have something pretty unusual, especially for my pretty young age of 23.
​
Or if it's just the abdominal pain, I will think it's outright colon cancer.
​
No unintentional weight loss, no loss of appetite, nothing like that. Just that pain.
​
I've had ultrasounds. The latest two showed gallbladder polyps, yes, and yes, in the second one there was growth shown compared to the first, but when it comes to the gallbladder, they're far too small for any malignancy to be considered, apart from annual monitoring, which I'll do in the beginning of July. And, apart from these, everything else, be it the liver, pancreas, kidneys were normal.
​
But it's that pain.
​
And the unsettling thing were far too many people were diagnosed after having years worth of clear imaging, makes me a lot more distressed.
​
I'm on the brink of going to the ER of the hospital again. After one year of not doing this at all. But the pain cannot be ignored.
​
​
So... No other symptoms, but just that. Which is also being alternated with middle to lower right back pain.
I can't stop ruminating about me having pancreatic or even gallbladder cancer.
Please anyone reaffirm that this kind of pain isn't related to any of these malignancies at all... Because the big Google isn't helping at all.
People here say that it's not even related to the pancreas. But again, Big Google says that up to 70% of cases with pancreatic cancer have right sided pain.
I have a intermittent, not constant, middle right back pain, alternated with upper right abdominal pain.
No weight loss. I've gained weight.
No loss of appetite.
No jaundice, obviously.
No abnormal blood testing.
No weird stools.
It's just that pain. Which isn't even permanent.
I'm afraid I have that, and that it's advanced.
For the last year, I have had upper right abdominal pain, which is alternated with middle right back pain. I however have no loss of weight, no loss of appetite, no abnormal stool, no fatigue besides my work, no jaundice, no abnormal blood test.
Is it a possibility that pancreatic cancer can manifest with only that kind of pain as a symptom?
So, during the last year, I've had intermittent right upper abdominal pain.
But: a)no weight loss, in fact I've gained weight, I'm at 73 kgs, while last year I was at 68 kgs at this same time last year,
b) no loss of appetite
c) no radiating pain except the lower right abdomen. Not in the shoulder, which would be indicative of a gallbladder attack
Last year, as I went to the hospital for severe food poisoning, during the ultrasound they did, they found two polyps. But these polyps existed in the ultrasound I had done in October 2024, but they grew slightly. Could those be causing problems? Are they... Cancerous? I'm starting to get scared again.
It happened to me four times within an hour yesterday.
It might sound ridiculous to most here, but this was the first time I experienced it this frequently. The previous month it was once or twice per weak. But this... Not at all that frequently.
That thud along with the gasp-like feeling is torture. Every time it happens I'm thinking I'll go into cardiac arrest and that's it's over.
I went to the ER yesterday, and lo and behold, they found nothing, not a single PVC or any other type of ectopic, did an ultrasound and a troponin blood test. All normal. But they still happen.
It's just that feeling.
No pain when it happens.
Just that feeling like my heart is going to completely stop.
Doesn't happen everyday. But when it does, there's ALWAYS THAT SENSATION. Always.
I went to the primary health centre where they did a EKG, ultrasound, took my vitals, and did a blood exam. Nothing abnormal came up. The EKG showed a very slightly elevated heart rate, but not even one PVC.
I still have them though. And I think that I'll have cardiac arrest and I'll die, every time it happens.
I've had these episodes for months now at the very least. And it's as follows: when I do certain movements, like bending or after burping, or after eating heavily, I feel this: a momentary pause of my heartbeat, followed instantly by a harder beat and then my sinus rhythm.
Is that what a PVC is actually like? Whenever I get them I think of the worst.
I had a health anxiety phase up to 1 year ago, and it lasted for more than a year, but I never had these during that phase. They've actually sprung up now, that I'm fully employed, and under a lot of stress of another nature.
