@rayqueen22 on tik tok is posting very dangerous videos of her bearded dragon. Please report this account if you can.

She brings her bearded dragon to a lake/spring and the bearded dragon will just sink to the bottom because of cold shock and just LAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPRING for 1-2minutes before its adrenaline finally kicks in and it wakes back up and comes up to surface.

She is repeatedly doing this with her beardie and is not listening to any of the comments telling her that his body is actually shutting down, that’s why he’s sinking.

She has stated in comments that her bearded dragon has been under the water for as long as 5 minutes before resurfacing. This is NOT ok. Please report this account so it gets taken down. This is abuse.

I was diagnosed with IST a few months ago and while I’m glad to finally have a diagnosis, most of the medications I can take to improve my symptoms are either not approved by my insurance or interfere with other medications that I currently take.

IST makes me have episodes where I feel like I am having a heart attack. I’ve had almost every single symptoms of a heart attack without actually having one. Chest pain, jaw pain, severe tachycardia, very intense skipped beats, felt like my breath was being taken away, ect. Before I was diagnosed I used to go to the emergency room at least 5 times a year because I genuinely thought I was dying. Each time they found nothing. But I still kept going back because I was so terrified of how I was feeling.

Right now as I’m typing this I’m having terrible chest pain and my heart is fluttering. I know it’s not dangerous but it feels so uncomfortable. If any other person felt what I was feeling they would go straight to the ER, but I have to just somehow try to get through it.

It sucks. Shoutout to long COVID which gave me this condition amongst many more.
