WTF just happened?

[whatfreshhellisthisnow]

Haven't been feeling well for a few days, have had a sickness bug and haven't been able to keep much down.
Sitting on my laptop in bed watching YouTube just now and all of a sudden with no warning, my eyesight went totally black, my head was pounding, I felt warm all over and my arms were tingling. It went within 10 seconds or so but I genuinely was terrified for those 10 seconds.
Something to worry about or just related to being dehydrated etc?

Just a little!

they have taken bloods and are going to give me IV fluids, painkillers and anti sickness medication. Still waiting on the blood results.

I can’t complain at all, they have been very speedy this morning.

common before fainting likely due to dehydration

Fluids and medication done and back home - bloods ok bar the dehydration - have medication for next week.

thank you again to everyone for your comments and kind words (especially those in the wee hours when I was on my own)

That's a relief @whatfreshhellisthisnow

Ok in life and death situation there is no room for nicities.

I’m not the one writing nonsense. NHS advice is that you see a GP if you faint, and only go to a&e if there’s an additional concern such as injuring yourself if you fall over. It’s not an emergency every time someone faints!

Exactly 💯
