Emergancy Trauma

[Dawn]

I had a Rheumy appt on Friday...so I thought...my body said differant apparently. All was fine and had been not too bad lately, too. I was sitting in the exam room chatting with mom while I waited for the doctor to come in. (note: I have had some dizzy spells here and there, most just a loss of balance a tad bit.) I started to feel dizzy sitting down and then it was like I was tired...next thing I know...I wake up in the ET room at the hospital. My blood pressure dropped to 80/43 and barely a pulse according to the doctors and nurses. I woke soppin wet from sweat and hooked up to everthing in sight, including oxegan. I was out for an hour they say. I don't remember a thing only telling mother something is not right in the doctors office. My blood pressure has been on the low side the past couple of doctor's appt, but nothing to worry about...till Friday.

I did not sleep well that night after being sent home...I was afraid to sleep. They have me now going back to a Neuro. My CT at the ET was fine, so I dont know why they want me to go back...only for him to say your fine.

Has anyone ever experienced this or/and still experience this...This scared the crap out of me and my family. They think I may have had a sezieure, too. I did not think a sezieure would make your blood pressure drop though.

Any input please...

Oh wow, how scary. I've never had that experience but wanted to let you know I was glad you were okay.

Thank you Felicia and Lisa. I have a follow up with the Neuro and my Primary. I am not skinny, but I am not that overweight either. I eat well, very healthy and I work out four times a week for healthy living. I guess I will wait till my doctors say something. I have been told I am alright, but when stuff like this happens, it makes me feel like I am crazy or something...how can someone be alright and have this happen. I guess it was good that it happened in the Rheumy docotors patient room. I hope they find out what is wrong, cause something is not right and that is not alright.

Thank you for your support.

Hugz,

Thank you so much Naomi for the information. This is very helpful and useful for my next doctors appt. I am going to the site as soon as I end this note....Thank you again for you support and sharing your experience. There may be light at the end of the tunnel after all.

Hugz and love,
Dawn
