I have a question for those who have retired. Do you feel better physically ?
I'm wondering if the decreased stress has a direct effect on how you feel every day.
One of the reasons I want to retire early is so that I can get a good night's sleep, and stop worrying so much about the business. A few years ago I was having chest pains, I had just lost a good friend to a massive heart attack at age 31, so I went to the Mayo Clinic for a three day physical. The tests all came back with flying colors, but I still had the pain. The Dr. asked me to keep track of when I had these pains for 3 months. I did and they were when I was at work, or thinking about work. When I was fishing I never had them. The Dr. asked if I could live with the pain, I said yes, it was more irritation that pain. He said people react to stress differently. Some get head aches, some back aches, and others chest pains, or pains in other areas of the body.
Anyway, I'm wondering how some ER's feel once they make the leap from their stressfull jobs.
