Hi,
I`m worrying at the moment after an incident at work on Thursday.
I cut myself on some glass after clearing up something I`d dropped. Since I was a teenager (I`m now 36) I haven`t been good when it comes to having to deal with my own blood or anyone`s I`m close to. I have come over queasy and clammy in the past over things, yet I can watch anything medical no matter how gory on the TV!!
Anyway on this day at work I passed out and they called on the community paramedic! He took my blood pressure and asked me a few questions (once I had come round) and then gave me a copy of his report before I was sent home. According to the report my blood pressure had dropped on his arrival and my heart rate was `racing`.
I asume this report will be sent to my GP and I have a routine appointment with him this Thursday as I am taking Prozac for PTSD (which I am currently being weaned off).
I can`t help worrying and thinking about what happened. What if there is an underlying cause? I didn`t feel 100% the next day just very drained although I feel alright now.
Do you think I should try to get an earlier appointment?
