health confessions

I know this post is not really a big deal but I really have to let it out. I can't post this thing on my own Tumblr because I have real life friends and family who follows me there.

My health condition has been getting worse ever since college. Actually, by the end of June/earlier July I noticed that there's something wrong with me...

I get a lot of headaches especially when I'm walking (I ALWAYS walk from my university's gate to my building and its quite distant). I also get extreme dizziness when it's really hot (Philippines is a tropical country and thanks to climate change, things just got even worse). Also because of climate change, it's hard to predict when it's gonna rain. I experienced sketching outside our room where the weather was fair then suddenly there's rain droplets falling and we ran to the nearest shed we can go to. Inside our building, some rooms are very cold but then after classes we go out of the building and we feel the heat.

I'm also having a hard time on my sleep. There are times that I oversleep or sometimes, my sleep is just not enough. Prelims and finals make it even harder for me. My schedule for the second semester is somehow not going along with me. This was made by my classmate. I have ROTC class every Sunday ad it's from 7am to 12pm. So basically, Tuesday is my rest day. Although I still end up doing plates instead of resting.

During my sembreak (October 8 - November8), I had an experience of getting really dizzy when I look downwards. I feel like world was spinning and I can't see very well.

Last week, I almost fainted at a store (where I usually go because there's a transport there that can take me to my house). I was really dizzy and I had to call my grandmother to pick me up. We went to a health station in that store and took my blood pressure. My blood pressure was below normal...

Then there's this food problem for me. I don't eat as often/much as I used to in high school. Notice that every Thursday there's no such vacant. We can't bring heavy meals in class like rice (most Asians can't live without rice) and we can only bring cookies or biscuits. Of course, those are not enough to fill my growling stomach at all. I can imagine that I eat light at school then eat a lot when I'm at home but isn't that not healthy at all? I heard that some professors and a lot of students in my college (Fine Arts) have ulcer (the one on the stomach) and a prof of mine said that there's no cure for it yet.

The worse one yet, I'm experiencing stomach pains that is not really normal. It doesn't really hurt a lot but when I move, I feel pain from the very inside. I thought I was about to have a fever because I feel very cold and I feel a slight fever (but now it's gone). I just experienced this yesterday... Until now, it still hurts... Am I having ulcer too?

I can't tell this to my parents... We spent a lot during me and my brother's enrollment. Then an unexpected spending when my grandfather was hospitalized. What the hell is happening to me?
