most odd thing happened to me today.
I was waiting with some friends near the uni for 'informationday', when all of a sudden - out of nowhere - I had the 'puking feeling', I tried counter-reacting to this feeling by taking some deep breaths, but alas, it didn't work and got worse. About ten seconds later, I find myself blacking out and waking up a bit later laying in front of a concrete wall, with one friend holding my legs up and another worriedly asking if I was ok. Along with some strangers just looking nervously around.
Apparantly, I blacked out and ran headfirst forward into the wall, then fell on the floor (headfirst again). So some employee of the uni took me to the nearest hospital and I got brought in to Emergency. They did their random examinations (blood, blood pressure, heartbeat, sugar level etc..) and found my blood pressure to be way to low.
They ask me to go to another room (cause they put me in the childs room since all others were full) and God behold, here I faint again just by having to walk to the other room
So they put me on a drip (?) to try and get the blood pressure up. Somehow, I was smart enough to ask the nurse for a cup in case I had to throw up and aye indeed, not more then half an hour later I was throwing up (most of it being on my pants)
Doctor was afraid I might have a concussion but luckily, he didn't require me to stay in observation during the night so I was safe to go home. Been laying in bed all afternoon uptill now and feeling quite a lot better, although the headache is killing me. I still don't know why it all happened and am quite confused I must say.
Anywho, it was a crap day.
