Hello. 

 

New here, decided to ask about something thats happened to me recently.  

 

I took an early night one night as I felt abnormally tired (7PM) and I woke up at around 11PM feeling really achey with slight pain in the back of the head. I drank a lemsip thinking that I may be coming down with a flu.  

 

Forward to the following day  

 

I woke up feeling awful. More aches, temperature and a tiny bit of a tummy pain. I hopped in the shower and felt slightly better. I then proceeded to go out as I needed to run some errands. I had got into town about 12PM and I ended up meeting with my friends at a local bar/pub. As I was waiting to get some food I blacked out, my vision went all blurry and I partly collapsed at the bar. I soon regained consciousness, I hadn't knocked myself or anything. I had a pepsi and a glass of cold water along with some food and It seemed to partially sort me out. I felt rather clammy after the incident and had uncontrollable shivering. I had lost my appetite, leaving more than half of my food. It soon calmed down but I felt achey. Later on I developed serious neck pains whereby I couldn't turn my neck, my eyes felt as if I had been knocked in the eye. Aching in the back of the eyeball kind of pain. I came home and had another lemsip and felt a bit better.  

 

Today I feel slightly better. I've had some water, further lemsips and a bowl of soup with some bread to try and sort me out, although I still have some aches and my eyes are still sore, although they are gradually feeling better.  

 

Any ideas as to what could be going on or why?

    I think it may be a good idea to see a doctor.

      I don't really feel the need for the doctor. It isn't agonizing, just uncomfterble and a bit annoying. I'm getting more and more mobile and jumpy although still have symptoms. I had two slices of toast before bed and threw up at the back of my throat a little. Still don't have much of an appetite, despite having a pack of stroopwafels downstairs! 

      Eyes are still a bit achey and still have a mild headache.

      If I were rolling around on the floor then I'd make an appointment, I just can't seem to justify it at this point in time .

      Why not phone up the doctor rather than actually make an appointment? Do you often pass out?

      I could do. 

      Last time I passed out was during some extreme cardio when I went over my limits. This was about 8 years ago.

      If you are not prone to fainting I would definitely have a quick word with your GP on the phone.
