Here comes the medical arch. Okay, this maybe TMI, but I'm training to be a Registered Nurse and I can give some hindsight into Phil's soon to be failing health.
All jokes aside, if Phil is having numbness in his left side - okay, Physiology lesson here, if you start to feel numbness on your left side, that is connected to the left ventricle of your heart. The left ventricle flows 02 hemoglobin (oxygen-rich blood) through the aortic valve, which regulates that oxygen rich blood through one's entire body, including major organs. If one starts to feel numbness on the left side, there is a HIGH correlation for MAJOR issues to arise, especially in Phil's case. Phil did mention that he was feeling "numbness" in his legs, especially his left, if my recollection serves me correctly. One of those issues includes fluid backup in the abdomen, legs, and feet. Also, a HIGH chance of building fluid in your lungs! Basically, Phil can dry drown internally without realizing it. Also, because Phil has poor cardiovascular support, he does have "shortness of breath." after wadding a few steps. Remember how he was out of breath for doing those push-ups? Yeah! There might be a correlation with his left ventricle. Again, I'm not a doctor or a Nurse Practitioner and I cannot give a clinical diagnosis. That was a simple assessment of what I've noticed about the pigroach recently.
Phil has claimed that he "slept on his heart wrong.", again NOT anatomically POSSIBLE to explain the numbness, but this is a serious issue. I know Phil won't see a doctor to get blood work done, as he claimed he "doesn't have the money.", along with his poor diet and very little exercise. Phil has claimed that he does have "very expensive medical insurance." due to him being self-employed.
Another thing I want to mention is that the left ventricle MAY play a part in Phil's cognitive function. You see, the left ventricle also can hinder one's cognitive functions if one has a set of oncoming heart disease. In simple terms, Phil MAY - again, I cannot say what it is, as I'm NOT a GP or a NP, he MAY be developing heart disease - again, this is a hypothesis as to why Phil is having trouble grasping simple concepts in video games and his immediate thought is "blaming the game.", on top of his low cognitive ability. Again, this is STRICTLY a hypothesis.
Phil, being a "mature adult." is making time to take care of yourself. You need to make time to at LEAST talk to your GP, get blood work done, and actually see what's wrong with you. Or, don't! Continue to eat like shit, drink like you're a frat brat on your 20's, and watch your health fail like your business.

This is an excellent assessment, thanks for sharing.
Given his sedentary lifestyle for nearly all of his life, it was only a matter of time before his fading youth forces it to catch up with him. I'm sure he is at a high risk of atherosclerosis (arterial plaque build up) and hypertension. I'm not sure if sleep apnea has been noted but I'd be surprised if he doesn't have that already. Type 2 diabetes is another possibility.
The sad implication here is that, similar to Chris, he probably has favorable genetics to stave off such issues for as long as he has despite his complete neglect of his own health.
