i blacked out and fell down the stairs

[Titania]

i bumped my head play fighting with DH about 2pm, then passed out when i tried to get up. I tried to take myself down the stairs only i blacked out again and fell down the stairs. I was out for about 20 minutes according to DH and dd was crying cos she thought I had died. I fell asleep as well and was really cold. I jarred my back and bumped my head again and twisted my ankle. Someone said I could have concussion. I fell asleep afterwards too. I feel bruised, shaky and sick now. Am just looking on MHS website about blackout and am now very scared. Its happened a few times in the past few weeks without having panic attacks.

Great anniversary im having!

Might be low bp. That caused my mum to blackout recently (although she is over 70!) and on admission to hospital she had a BP of 30

i dont know NH. Just doing on what DH said. I cant remember

desptie yopur loathing of hospitals titania, surely your husband was worried sick and should have called an ambulance

i know. I said that too. i told him that i could have been in a coma or something......

I really cant believe this

why don't you go straight to a and e now?What are you waiting for

titania did he hit you or something and knocked you out?

Message withdrawn

no he didnt. i swear on my fathers grave he didnt touch me. i would have to ring an ambulance to go to hospital and take the youngest 2 with me. i cant afford the fare home either.

thanks

rickman!

titania something does sound odd, are you telling us the whole story? i cannot believe someone would let someone they loved lie cold out on the floor and not phone an ambulance, are you telling us the whole truth?

yes i am. i dont understand it either. it really upsetting me now....maybe he doesnt love me that much....maybe he wants me dead.....

maybe you weren't out for 20 minutes though? Maybe he exaggerated and it was just a couple of minutes and you came round beofre he had time to do anything? Can you get to the doctors to get checked over?

Don't get upset titania, people are just struggling to understand why you were left like you were for solong. If you read the same story about another netter, you would probably think exactly the same. Am sure he doesn't want you dead though

How soon after hitting your head did you black out Titania? From what you first wrote, it sounds like it was pretty soon after in which case, it is not likely to happen again for no reason is it?

But you do owe it to your kids to get yourself checked out,however you get there, or even get a home visit. No excuses!

i have just rung the doctors and they said i had to ring back at 1.45 for an urgent appointment

call them back and say you cant wait

they said that i am more than welcome to go and sit and wait but i would still not get seen any quicker.....

go and sit there then, they may be wrong

i am too scared to go up the stairs now.....am still not dressed yet...
