Hope you all are well.
I am just looking to vent after my lovely a&e visit this morning to see if anyone else has had the same news that can maybe offer some in site. I hope this post doesn't worry anyone...
I went to a&e this morning after another spell on my way to work (second one in under 2 months). Its like someone is pushing on my head and i feel like i black out for a split second. It actually happened right outside a&e so I went and got checked out. After explaining what had happened the doc remembered me from the last episode and started thinking they might be seizures (great!) And that I probably shouldn't be driving right now but he also said he wasn't a nuero so couldn't say for sure. Said my gp should maybe sort a scan out (i had an EEG and MRI about 3 years ago all fine). So there I am thinking f**k I'm having seizures there really is something wrong...
Anyway he did some obs then an ECG - all normal... until he listened to my neck.
He told me I have a humming type murmur in the artery on the left side of my neck. Said its rare to see in people my age (I'm 27) and can cause blood clots. he said he didn't mean to scare me (too bloody late) but I should go see my GP as soon as to organise getting a scan.
I burst into tears and my boss came and picked me up and took me to my mums where I'm now waiting to get a call from my doc. My partner thinks I'm fine and its just my anxiety :mad:
I'm freaking out and my worries bounce between maybe having seizures or the fact I may have a weird thing going on with my artery that could cause me to develop a clot and die (the latter being more prominent now). I was at the hospital just the other day for something unrealted (having iud removed) they did bloods and urine both prefect.
I don't want to google which is why I am posting here. Has anyone else out there in NMP land experienced this? I'm so scared. I don't even know what its called thus murmur thing.
Sorry for the long post...I have trouble keeping things short and sweet lol.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies
