- 라디오 방송 및 공부 후기

A while ago, I felt under the weather. It persisted for a long time. It wasn’t a specific ailment. It was just chronic fatigue. There were many reasons for my sluggishness. I wasn’t getting enough exercise. I was eating irregularly. My blood pressure was off the charts. One time, my stomach acted up repeatedly. I had trouble digesting food. I felt queasy all the time. It got so bad, I went to see the doctor. The doctor recommended a gastroscopy. I found out I had severe gastritis. I had to undergo treatment and take prescription drugs. Thankfully, I made a full recovery. Still, I learned that it’s best to always tend to my health.
