Hi All,
I dont know if you can help me figure out why I passed out last night..
I was lying on the couch when the phone rang. I got up and my vision went and felt really dizzy. I went outside to get some fresh air but that made it worse, came back in and thats when I passed out. Luckily i wasnt alone!! Came round 2 seconds later but I couldnt see or hear anything and my temperature sky rocketed - the anount of sweat was disgusting.
I crawled toward the front door (my legs didnt work!) to get fresh air and it took me 10 mins to recover. V scary stuff so i went to A&E to get checked out. The doctor, rather sarcastically asked 'you came here for 'a faint'??. That was the point I wanted to throttle her!
Anyway, she told me it was all because I stood up too quickly. I know what a headrush is - and that wasnt it!!! Have booked doctor appt as this has happened twice before two years ago.
Sorry for long post - just wanted to know if anyone had experienced anything like this. My dad thinks its my ears as one of them is perforated quite severly...
Any info would be great!!
Thanks
