Don't get what I said the wrong way, that I said I couldn't talk . I am in no state to talk . I don't know where to put myself. I can't think straight. My blood pressure, constant headaches, and how you treated me this morning, all of those, devastated me. For some reason, maybe because of the pain I have inside, the kind of pain that no medicine can get out of you, tears are welling up in my eyes and about to come out and down my face. Just In case I may get a lump in my throat, I decided not to talk. I will call you up myself later. When you listen to my recording, please let me know what you think of my speech.

Don't take what I said the wrong way when I said I couldn't talk . I am in no state to talk . I don't know what to do with myself. I can't think straight. My blood pressure, constant headaches, and the way you treated me this morning, all of those things, devastated me. For some reason, maybe because of the pain I have inside, the kind of pain that no medicine can stop, tears are welling up in my eyes and about to burst out and roll down my face. Just in case I got a lump in my throat, I decided not to talk. I will call you myself later. When you listen to my recording, please let me know what you think of my speech.
Hi there, As you can see, my edits are pretty close to Mark's. "Don't get what I said the wrong way" isn't a common expression. It's almost always "don't take what I said..." In another context, "get" works to mean "understand", but not here. (examples: "I don't get what you meant." "She didn't get what I was saying." In those cases you couldn't substitute "take".) In your sentence, "take" should be understood as "receive". It's an idiomatic usage, a set phrase. The other things you wrote are very understandable, but I changed the parts that didn't read as "natural English". As you know, different languages have different ways of describing certain actions and behaviours. For example, "I don't know where to put myself" isn't common, but when it's used, it usually refers to a feeling of extreme embarrassment, which was not exactly your situation. "I don't know what to do with myself" is an extremely common expression for when you are feeling confused, unsure, uncomfortable, and overwhelmed, so I think it's more appropriate here. But your recorded speech as usual sounds very natural.

My blood pressure, constant headaches and how you treated me this morning have devastated me. For some reason, maybe because of the pain I feel inside, the kind of pain that no medicine can cure ( or get rid of), tears are welling up in my eyes and about to run down my face. Just in case I may have a lump in my throat, I decided not to talk ( to you). I will call you later. When you listen to my recording, please let me know what you think of my speech.
Hi Joey. Your speaking is very natural. The message sounds sad and I am sorry for your pain. I have corrected your grammar and some of the vocabulary. if you want to learn further please book a lesson.

No I was actually being sincere. There is a difference between take and get. That is not a change to match my style of writing. I try to improve and correct where I can in the hope that the student possibly picks up new vocabulary./grammar and learns and grows from it. This is what I desire for all my students.
