So I passed out in H+M today...

Not just because the clothes my DD2 was looking at were so awful either....

Drove to see DD2 at University yesterday. Felt a bit weird.. hard to describe but like my lungs were itching inside and my throat and shoulders ached.. very odd. Spent the evening feeling a bit odd but managed ok. Then today we headed into town, my chst feeling really tight, itchy inside and my throat sort of cramped. I also felt like I had indigestion, but put that down to last night's chinese!

Walking round H+M I suddenly felt awful.. cold sweaty and knew I was going to faint (thought I was going to die!) lay down on the floor in the changing rooms and everything went black. Came round feeling really weird.

Eventually got up (embarrassed!) and we went back to DDs hall. Every few mins I had to stop because my chest/neck hurt and I was so light headed.

I drove home tonight scared stiff! My chest feels tight, my neck/throat feels like someone is sitting on it and I keep getting dizzy.

I never go to the docs if I can help it but am wondering if I need to,.. would they laugh if I demanded an emergency appointment? I thought I was having a heart attack and while obviously (thankfully) I'm still sitting here, something is wrong!

Hope you get sorted out, sounds very scary xx

Blimey hope you're ok , sounds like it could be cardiac problem.

Hope you're ok Medusa , did you get to the doctor ok?

MedusaIsHavingABadHairDay · 01/11/2012 22:47

I did indeed. Doc did a decent check over me..did a heart trace and that was ok, so while it doesn't rule out a heart problem it makes me feel less worried I might conk tonight!

She has however given me steroids for my chest..thinks it s a virus but they may help settle the inflammation down. I'm to go back tomorrow morning unless the pain gets worse in which case I have to call 111! (we now have a paramedic OOH service )

I'm still very dizzy hence having to go back tomorrow, so am lying flat and MNetting and hoping to feel a bit less scarily ill by tomorrow!

I'm so glad you got a thorough MOT and some meds to start you on the road to recovery.
I hope you have a good night and feel better in the morning.

You had your Doc appt at 5pm yesterday - very worried - expect you were sent to A&E? Wishing you all the best.

Must have missed your earlier post. Glad you were not sent to A&E.
I was so worried about you, as were all of us, that this morning before my 2 hour dance class, I took a mild dose valium by mistake, instead of my thyroxine, and despite thoroughly enjoying the dancing
with an inane smile on my face, I have been sleeping it off all afternoon - sheepish face !!
I had a good reaction to steroids this year
