I am turning 48 soon and feel more exhausted than ever. Physical activities leave me breathless, and intense work pressure gives me headaches. Aging only makes it worse.

By 30, you must have at least a house, a car, a high-paying job, and the ability to freely travel for fun to not be considered a failure by society.

I was hospitalized for coronary artery treatment when a couple I know from the U.S. visited me in January. They were surprised by what they saw and, soon after, signed up for full medical check-ups in Vietnam.
