"I finally feel like me again!"

Why do I feel like I ran a marathon? Christine Street thought as she showered and got ready for work. "For months, I had been dragging myself through my days, with every little chore like getting the mail or making dinner feeling like a monumental task.

Running on empty

"That was the new norm for me. Along with constantly being exhausted, I battled relentless brain fog. Focusing and concentrating on work, a television show or even doing laundry was nearly impossible.

After several months, my tiredness grew, along with stress and agitation, which I assumed were due to always feeling so worn out. Like so many busy women, I explained away my health issues, telling myself they were due to my workload and the stress that came with it. But then one day, a headache and an achiness in my arm, along with unusual sweating and my heart racing like I'd just exercised for hours, triggered fear that I was having a heart attack.
