Not a good weekend.......

[Paul A]

Hi,
Bad weekend ....!
Was standing in the kitchen on last thurs eve. (washing up!)
Next thing I know I'm waking up in an ambulance!!
Apparently I just "passed out"!
Been in hospital since thursday "under observation".
Had loads of tests and they can't seem to find anything wrong! (apart from blood pressure a bit high)
Let me go home today and said not to worry...... (are they kidding!)
Bit worried about it all..... anyone else have something like this happen?

My other half had this. They couldn't explain it. She is fine now. They put hers down to stress.

Years back I had the same sort of thing happen,only with me everything went sort of blurred. Then I saw the celing, then nothing..woke up on the floor with my dad standing over me say "stay still the ambulance is on it's way" and that my head made a great cracking sound as it hit the floor then bounced. Hospital kept me over night as they suspected concusion, but put me passing out down to high blood pressure. back out 24hours later .I was only 15 at the time, never happened since..but I did start to get nose bleeds for a few months after. Ok now..i think

That happened to me about 7 years ago when I was a driver, I blacked out fell down two flights of stairs, Swansea suspended my licence for 6 months, they couldnt find anything wrong after tons of tests, I used to go the gym a lot then and even knew the cardiologist as he was a member of the same gym and when he got me on the hospital tread mill he told the nurse "Aint nothing wrong with him, should have seen him yesterday on the cross trainer "

Never did find out what it was but it was a bugger to get my licence back.

Thanks all,
A bit worried........ does this get reported in any way to the DVLA?

[Drift]

Mine did because of my job at the time, the doctor should report it if its relevant.

This happened to me about 7 years ago. Woke up one morning and went into the kitchen for a drink mum said you look like pooh of which i replied i feel like it. Anyway proceeded to the bathroom to start to get ready for work and that was it down i went, the next thing i knew i was on the sofa shivering with my muscles i my fingers that tight i couldnt move them. Spent 24hrs in A&E under constant supervision and god knows how many test as i spent most of the 24hrs asleep they couldnt find out what had caused it but was concerned as to why. They insisted i visited my doctors a few days just for another check over but insisted there was no need to inform the dvla as they didnt have an answere as to how or why it happend. Since then i have suffered terrible with headaches and had more brain scans that i care to remember.

Do you suffer from bad headaces at all?

Just my boss got these headaces now and again but didnt think much of it untill one morning he was in the shower got one of these headaces and passed out but on his way down hit his head on the bath and ended up in hospital for a month and bleeding on the brain so is no longer aloud to drive or use any tools (im a ground worker) for at least 6 months but maybe as long as 18 months!

Hope your ok and its nothing serious and it was a one off!

I always suffer from headaches, not a week go by withought me having one. Been doctors, overnight stays in hospital, brain scans (they claim they found one) lumber puntucre etc but cant find the cause of it. I have noticed the more water i drink the less severe they are. Im a mystery lol

I had migraine sorted after extensive scans and the like, it turned out my teeth where misaligned after some work years ago and they re-did some fillings and very rarely have headaches that are not alcohol induced now.
