Most unlike me to go all fainty. Was out on a cattle training course and felt really sick and ears started going deaf and humming. Desperately made myself stay upright - didnt want to make an arse of myself.

Only had one meal yesterday due to being at hospital with eye problems. Couldnt manage much breakfast this am but I did have cheese and crackers just before I went out for course.

I'm now desperately stuffing food in self before go out in 15 minutes o help at school.

Anything else I can do - I'm guessing its prbably low blood sugar even thgouh did have cheese and crackers. Still feel rather faint

Have a hot cup of sweet tea

good idea - have just had cup of tea and choc biscuit (as well as mini sausages and couscous - I know, I know, twas the most instant thing I could think of) It was really embarrassing I wanted to ask a question at the training and did but it sounded like my voice was coming down from a deep tunnel.
Got 7 minutes to feel better. aargh!

Sometimes the blood sugar can recover but leave you with low blood pressure, so have some caffieney drink, and a lie down with your feet up!

thanks shrooms. Thats worth knowing. Still feel slightly faintish around the edges. Maybe its just stress catching up. Also went onto steroid eye drops yesterday - I dunno if that would have an effect.
Went to a friends after school, shes a nurse and did my blood pressure. It seemed ok, perhaps a bit high but I dont know how calibrated her thingy is - 126/89. I'm borderline underweight and at doctors its usually 110/70 or 120/80. Probably best if I take friends reading with big pinch of salt. She and nother friend did comment that I looked really pale.

ah well, its all to easy to over dwell on these things - bodies are strange sometimes and I#m sure its just one of those things.
