Because he already thinks that I'm a hypochondriac.
Lately I've been having periods where my face feels like it's suddenly flushing, my chest may feel compressed, and I feel a bit lightheaded. Sort of like a caffeine overdose, except that I haven't been taking in much caffeine.
I was really really busy, and figured it had to do with stress. But I'm not as busy now, and it's still happening from time to time. I'm not sure if it's all in my mind, or if it's some hormonal perimenopause thing, or if it's the Provigil. I don't *think* I've changed my dose of that lately.
And my doctor thinks I'm a huge hypochondriac because, let's face it, I'm usually hyper-aware of what's going on in my body. And I have been known to create rashes by thinking I have one, things like that. At any rate, I hate to see him unless I'm bleeding somewhere or have a raging fever.
