Feeling high

[nosleepforme]

I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t do drugs.
fell down a week ago and had bad back pain over the weekend and today.
I was lying down and when I got up now (to get into pyjamas), I suddenly started feeling high. Like as if I was drunk, or on gas and air. I have terrible back pain. Sitting down the pain is still bad but more bearable and I don’t feel high.
i even snapped the lid trying to get it off the hot water bottle but couldn’t feel that sensation at all. I’m not feeling numb though. I have a big headache.
I have taken zero medication in the past 24 hours, eaten home made food and drank only water. (I haven’t taken pain meds as they generally aren’t strong enough to help me).
does this sound crazy or does it make sense I could be feeling like this after being in so much pain? Do I just take a pain killer and go to sleep?

I disassociate when in a lot of pain. I was having nightly gallbladder attacks and ended up having emergency surgery when it was nearly septic. They only realised because the GP sent me for bloods when she couldn't explain why I felt uncomfortable and sick.
The nurses and surgeon all asked how I was able to cope.

Same thing has happened throughout my life.

When in a lot of pain I feel as though I have had maybe 4 drinks and my body kind of shuts off... But I have learnt this isn't a good thing.

The GP didn't take me seriously initially because I genuinely didn't realise how much pain I was actually in. I could have died without those blood test results.

Personally, if you think this is the case with you, I would be seeking medical attention ASAP.

I've learnt my lesson now, I can't trust myself.

That’s scary. No this isn’t like gallbladder. Been there done that. That’s pain like death!

I would definitely ring 111
