I was sitting in my dds gymnastics class i had been sitting threre a couple of hours totally fine. It wasn’t that hot as its air conditioned.

Just before the end of the class i suddenly felt really really odd, the room was spinning, my ears were rushing my vision was odd and i felt really like i was about to collapse. I was literally about to ask the woman next to me to actually call for help when it eased and i was able to stand up and leave the class.

We are home now and i feel ok but a bit shaky and odd and a bit scared its going to happen again.

i do take ivabradine to slow my heart rate. As i have had svt in the past. But my heartrate was only 135 according to my watch when this happened and now its a little higher than normal on medication but really not much.

i have also never had these symptoms for that at all.

i have also had some problems with anxiety in the past but again not like this.

what is going on here? Does this sound like i have been a bit dehydrated or something ? or anxiety?

im not sure if i should be img out of hours or waiting to call gp or just going to bed !

I would have said your blood pressure dropped possibly due to dehydration.

Sounds like labyrinthitis - same symptoms I had although I was violently sick as well.

I was fortunate it only happened a couple of times and only lasted a day or so. It can go on for weeks.

Hope you feel better soon.
