Anyone awake? Am I ill? Freaking out

Sorry for the title but I'm so tired and feel so ill so couldn't think of how else to put it.

Has a baby four weeks ago. Straightforward other than some retained placenta which I didn't know about until two weeks pp when I bled an awful lot. Recovered well.

Tonight, I feel so ill. So lightheaded, head hurts, so nauseous. The weirdest thing is both of my lower forearms (between elbow and wrists) are both so numb and a bit tingly. It's just so weird how BOTH arms are exactly the same. What the hell could this be? I have absolutely no way to get to hospital for 8 hours and I could just be generally unwell given I'm EBF and knackered? Any advice as to what this could be or just general tiredness? DH thinks I'm fine Hmm

Were you able to ring 111 op?

Also, have you eaten and drunk enough?

NerrSnerr · 18/06/2019 05:21

Did you get medical advice OP? Hope you're feeling better (and you're able to arrange transport)

Hope you are ok OP. Presumably you are tucked up in a hospital bed getting some treatment.

MypreciousWaja · 18/06/2019 06:24

So hope you're ok. It's so scary when things happen in the middle of the night. Hope you got checked out Flowers

DoLittleDoLoads · 18/06/2019 06:28

Hope you got help OP? Re the tingly arms - I get this any time is feel really nauseous (even car sick!). But I'd be more worried about what's causing the nauseousness/headaches given what's been happening with you the last few weeks. Hope you got checked out - and if not, please do!

Anemia

donajimena · 18/06/2019 07:05

How can you know for sure Dont? Why did you write that?

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 18/06/2019 08:24

I just couldn't be arsed to type more.

Given the symptoms and the history, it could very likely be a cause.
I'm not giving a definite diagnoses.

Pavlova31 · 18/06/2019 08:45

I hope you have been seen and all is going well Op Brew Flowers

WomanLikeMeLM · 18/06/2019 10:01

Hope you are feeling better this morning Thanks

iwillnotletyouknow · 18/06/2019 14:57

Sorry I've not come back until now, I was too scared as I can imagine the replies.

I didn't do anything. I thought I'd wait until 8am and call the doctor but when I woke up, I felt fine and thought it must be a fluke or virus and decided not to call. I feel fine now albeit a little light headed.

Thank you to everyone who replied and asked how I was- I really appreciate it Thanks
