hey guys,
I know someone is about to beat the crap out of me, I wanna beat the crap out of myself, I am really confused right now, and dont know what to do/what happened etc.......Im REALLY frustrated

last night I felt like crap all night....really tired, tight chested all night off and on, pretty short of breath off and on (side note:tried albuterol, it didnt help, all it did was make me jittery and buzzy, at least that got me through the first part of the night) (been that way abt a week now, went to the docs, she wasnt concerned, ran some bloodwork, all which came back normal)

well, last night about 11:30 or so, I think I blacked out: I remember feeling really out of breath and crappy so I put my back against the wall and everything started to get fuzzy (I was in the dining room alone) I remember starting to slide down the wall but I don't remember hitting the floor (thank god, I was sitting upright) I remember opening my eyes, not knowing how long I was out (it must have only been a minute or so, if that) my head was slumped on my chest (I was almost folded over head in lap) everything was still fuzzy and I was really out of breath, I sat there for a few minutes and tried to catch my breath, it slowly came back, I got up and went to the office, I broke down hysterically in front of my manager, last night I thought it was just a grey out, so I stayed at work I assured her I was fine she was gonna call someone else in (I know: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?! we were really in trouble last night, it was not a good situation) after sitting down for about 20 minutes, I got back up and started back in (I did really easy stuff for almost an hour, I felt OK so I just kept going, and got it done, taking it pretty easy, of course)

I think it was just a protective mechanism (maybe just pigheaddedness), but last night I pushed it out of my mind and kept going, this morning I got up and started thinking about it and I am scared out of my mind, I dont know what to do, I have no one with me right now, so I just texted my dad asking him to call me (he is doing something for work abt an hour away, I would have called him last night, but he had to get up @ 4:30 this AM) my mom is out of state with her B/F. if I went to the ER right now they wouldnt find anything, and probably just tell me it was somethin stupid (Im guessing) and I am on my way to work in abt 8 mins (I know, I know, I cant call out though)

anyways, thanks for getting this far if you did, and any ideas would be appreciated, I think I am gonna call the doc on call, and see what he says, as well as talking to my father

Morgan,

Sorry this happened to you. I have had that happen before and it is very scary. I would get checked out if I were you.

Hoping for the best for you.

Any time that you black out from unknown or unprovoked causes is grounds for an ER visit.
 
Yes do check it out. Even without heart issues losing conciousness is cause for a visit to the ER

I hope you've called the on call doctor by this time, and I hope you've been able to contact your dad.
Let us know what you're told.
 
I hate when this stuff happens on the weekend. I understand your thinking, but I still would recommend at least a phone call to the on call doc. How are you feeling today? Have you taken your BP, etc.?
 
maybe you were running a fever from something (?bronchitis,walking pneumonia,etc?). That would make you feel crappy and lethargic and fall asleep. Have it checked out, will ya??
 
You know this isn't normal. You know that you have heart problems. I think you know the rest of what I should be saying to you, don't you????? So take your health seriously and stop trying to sweep things like this under the rug. Find out why you passed out. Don't let your doctor blow you off. There is a reason, either medications, heart arrhythmia, low blood pressure, a TIA, the list goes on and on, and it is not pretty. You could also injure yourself in a faint like this.

So listen to me (I'm a mom and grandmother, and don't like any kind of shenanigans). get answers, and be careful with your health.

Get an appt. with the doctor, and if you EVER feel like that again, go to the ER, and don't drive yourself, ask someone to call 911 and get an ambulance ride.

I love your signature quote... I agree with everyone else. This is not a dress rehearsal; it is time to see your doctor. As my dr. loves to remind me, there is no way of knowing what's going on without having it checked out. My thoughts are with you.

Nancy ... one of these days I sure would like to meet you..... He he ... I haven't heard "shenanigans" in a LONG time. My grandmother (the one who died shortly after I joined VR in 2002) always used to "warn" us grandkids about getting into "shenanigans". He he....such a cool and powerful memory ;).


Morgan ... you already know I agree with the others ... get checked out.

MORGAN!
This is NO time to play martyr at work!
And, BTW, what do you do? Were there any circumstances in your building that may have caused a chemical reaction to your breathing? (I personally cannot tolerate plastics.)
Did you call your Dad?
Do you wear a bracelet with your medical condition?
Does anyone you work with know your medical history?

Keep us posted!
 
Morgan:

I hope you've gone to a doctor by now, instead of waiting for a regularly scheduled appointment.
You are just 20. Most people who are 20 think they are immortal But you've been a heart patient for years.
