Anyone awake? Am I ill? Freaking out

[iwillnotletyouknow]

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

Were you able to ring 111 op?

Also, have you eaten and drunk enough?

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

Let us know how you got on OP, hope you're ok

That sounds worrying. I hope you have managed to get to a hospital.

How are you doing op?

Did you phone 111? If its urgent Turkey.will send someone, so it doesn't matter that.you dont have transport

**they not Turkey

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Hope you are feeling better this morning

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

@CruellaFeinberg It's good to know that Turkey is on hand to help out in an emergency

Erdoğan is good like that

Who'd have thunk it eh? Turkey to the rescue!

Poor OP probably has hallucinations of a load of Turks dragging her off to A&E now...........
