My son was getting married and I went to dinner with the bridemaids. I had one drink and a nice meal. After the meal I got extremely tired and could wait to get home. I went right to bed( couldn’t stand the tired feeling) feel asleep and woke up a couple of hours later and was very thirty. I went to my kitchen to get a drink and got dizzy. The water feel on my marble floor and I feel and passed out. I broke my leg this time went to the hospital did all cardiac workup-nothing. Felt fine after the fall except for the leg. Espisod #2 march/05 I went to the gym walked on the treadmill for one half hour and then went to the stairmaster when I reach the top I got suddenly dizzy and fell off and blacked out. No injury this time went to the er -threw up there but again no testing showed anything was not admitted and left Esisode#3 dec/07 (very stressed week prior) went christmas shopping at about 11pm my husband and I went for a snack. We had a pomegranite martini each and some food-after I ate I again got extremely tired couldn’t wait to get home went right to bed-woke up a couple hours later thirty-went to get water-got suddenly dizzy and fell immediately-can’t help yourself I feel down and hit my head on the corner of the wood work and cut my head on my left side-I guess I laid there for a while- when I got up I called for my husband and he found me in a pool of blood-the blow to my head was hard- I had a concussion- I went to the hospital got 4 stapes in my head and had all kinds o tests-no answer. It took me a couple of weeks to recover from the concussion then I was fine Episode # 4 Nov/08 was at a restaurant with my daughter right after we finished a nice meal with one glass of wine. I felt very full then I told her that I just wasn’t feeling right over all-then I had a slight nausea feeling them I collapsed on the table. I also peed my pants. My daughter said I went to the er had cat scan of head and heart testing again. No answers. One neurologist suggested that could be seizure vs vasil v. Synocope Comments
