HELP!

Hi everyone! 

For the past few weeks, I had been getting really dizzy.  I mentioned this to my PCP but he didn't seem too concerned or else, he didn't hear me when i said it.

Anyway, Sunday evening I went to see a friend drive at Ocean Downs (harness racing).  When I got out of the car, I was realy dizzy so I stopped and just leaned on the car for a few minutes.  I felt better and proceeded to walk to theentrance.  The next thing I know, I was on the ground.  y hubby said that I just collapsed.  I didn't fall; I didn't trip on anything.  He said I just crumbled.  It took me a few minutes to get it all together.  Of course, a security guard wame to help and wanted to call an ambulance.  I told them no that I needed to watch Victor drive (I mean, that's why i was there!)

On and off throughout that evening I still was dizzy.  I thought, okay, I haven't eaten much so I ate a chicken tender and later drank a bottle of water. Stil dizzy.  When I got home, checked my BP.. it was fine 113/65. Didn't check blood sugar but I fon't think it was low blood sugar.

Yesterday, the same thing.  Dizzy and at a couple times during the day, I found things going black on me. I nevefr collapsed but I'm getting a bit worried.

My PCP is unavailable because he is moving his office; Dr. S is on vacation but I have a call into Cathy.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks (and sorry this is so long).

Hugs,

Deb

Congratulations, you're pregnant!!!!  (Just kidding) - you can smack me the next time you see me.  Seriously - get to see someone!!!!

Lisa you are a nut!

Deb,

If you can not get in touch with your Dr.  you need to go to the ED or to urgent care.  While you might not think it is your bp or blood sugar it could be an electrolyte imbalance, cardiac or neurological issue.  I'm not trying to upset you but, people do not pass out for no reason.  I think it is important to seek medical assistance.

Hi Deb,
I have and appoinment with him on Thursday . I think he is back from vaction. you should call the office again.

Deb,

i amsorry you are going through this.  You need to check your sugar throughout the day and fasting to see if you are having hypoglycemic episodes.   My sugar has gone down low but I have not collapsed. I would definitely go in to get checked ASAP.

I hope you feel better soon.

Deb, honey....are you getting enough fluids in you? Dehydration will do crazy things to you!

Hey Deb!!!  I hope your feeling better, but please seek some type of medical attention as soon as you can!  Please keep us updated.

Deb
Please tell me you are back from the ER?  You need to be seen now.

OKay, here's an update.

Dr. Singh is back from vacation and I got a message to him while he was at the hospital.  when I described what was happening, he said he didn't like the sound of it.  He asked about  BP and sugar; fluids; eating.  Then suggested that I see my cardiologist (I have an appointment Thursday with him).

We continued to talk a but more and Dr. S said that he would like for me to have an MRI done.  He asked me to call Mary and have her set it up.  I am in Baltimore as I type (it's 2:30 in the am) and I have to be at the hospital at 7:30.  I will have the MRI done here and maybe we can figure out what's happening.

Both my sister and mom have had brain tumors that had to be removed.  My sister dies at 41 from it.  My Mom is still alive but in the back of my head I still am thinking the worse about this.

Please pray that everything is normal and that these spells are just from some stupid imbalance  and not from a tumor.

I will update as soon as I return home and can get online.

Thanks everyone.  I love you all!

Deb

PS:  Except for you Lisa.....You will be royally slapped when I see you again so be prepared!
