What just happened?

Today I was fine one second, the next boiling hot, my head was swimming with dizziness, I drained of all colour and was sweating. The intense feelings lasted no more than 30 seconds but then I continued feeling spacey / wobbly for about an hour. I saw a nurse and all my obs were normal though I've got intermittent head/ear ache. It really scared me.

What were you doing at the time? Sounds like you had a pre-fainting episode. Were you standing for ages? I used to get episodes like that a lot when on my period.

No I was sat down.

I had those for a good few years but only about every 18 months/two years or so. But in the past 2 years I've also had two altered alertness episodes two years apart which are now being investigated.

Sounds like low blood pressure and sugar levels

How old are you? I had this last year and I now know that it was a symptom of the menopause.

I'm 30.
