Hi Ate.

How are you now? It's either you are having stroke or you have too much anxiety that is why you are experiencing what you just mentioned here. If you are still here, please go to the hospital first. Government hospital. if you are near Prince Sultan Military Medical City. I am a nurse and I used to work there but i am exiting in two days.

Regarding your issue with your employer, please go to the Embassy and ask assistance from them. Do you still have the calling card of OWWA? Contact them.

Please take care Kabayan. God bless you.
