Fell then blacked out for the first time-scared
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've never passed out or really came close, until today. I was at my aunts house and we had just stuffed ourselves with a huge meal and I was already tired from eating so much, I was leaving their house to go to my friends and it was pitch black and I missed the step on their porch and fell pretty hard down to my hands and knees. I got up and it stung but not too bad, I was going to go to my car and then in the light I saw my leg was bleeding so I went back inside and I sat down while my aunt cleaned my leg up. As I was sitting, I started to feel sick and hot like I was going to pass out, and I know your not supposed to but my first instinct when I get scared is to run, so I got up and went outside where it was cooler, and then I started to see so many stars my vision went away and my ears were ringing so bad I couldn't hear barley anything my cousin was saying to me. I don't think I fully lost conciousness but it was defifnitly not like anything I've ever experienced before, and I get blood taken, shots, piercings and many other things with no issue. My dad said there is nothing to worry about since something similar happened to him when he was younger, and that falling sort of hard on cement puts your body slightly in shock even though I did not hit my head, but I'm slightly concerned still. This was a couple hours ago and I'm better but I still feel a little funny and my ears are still ringing. I'm wondering if it would be wise for me to go to the hospital ?

I would go to the ER. It definitely doesn't hurt to get a Doctors advice! The shock of the fall has happened to Me and somehow I ended up with my sodium going low. I guess or my sodium being low lead to fall! That is more likely!

Thank You for clarifying that! I have a problem with my nervous system but my primaries lack of interest hasn't even gotten me a Neurologist in 3 years of seeing him! He sees how fast I'm going down hill but just runs more blood test and prescribes something new to mess me up. I actually think it's all side effects of gabapentin in beginning now mixed with steroids and other meds. Slowly taking one a way at a time! Thanks! Sherri

This is at my insistence not his. Soon will have new Primary as new set of eyes on problem with a vast set of Specialist in His same community may help. I will pray for You! The condition sounds horrendous and I can see that excruciating pain when I sit plus Addison's Disease isn't the worst thing ever!
