    Hi. Is your gp making further arrangements for you to have some sort of followup testing? I'd go and see them and discuss what happened to see if you require followup for peace of mind as a starting point.

    Swich to decaf coffee right away, thats easy. Stop smoking, you CAN do it.

    I did it and it did not kill me. Your bad habits will.
