Out of the blue it felt like there was a short or surge in my brain, like someone hit it with electricity and my vision and hearing was lost. This only lasted a second or two and when it stopped my entire body was weak and felt like needles were jabbing me. I got up and looked in the mirror to make sure I wasn't having a stroke and noticed my neck pulsing like crazy cause my heart was beating so fast and hard. After calling a couple medical friends I went and got my blood pressure checked, 161/90 which is high but not too high. I decided to be a trooper and put off going for help till this morning. I went to the Urgent Care office and the doc there told me to go to the Emergency Room for a head scan, heart scan, and labwork. So, I went to the ER and they did a chest X-ray and some bloodwork. My bloodwork came back fine but they didn't want to address the issue involving my head. The chest issues are apparently not cardiac related at this time. Tomorow I will be heading back to the Urgent Care office to see if they can get me in for a brain scan with one of their people since the ER wouldn't do it.
I have never been so terrifed in my life like I was last night. I thought I was going to die when it happened, I just remembered thinking that I was going to die from a stroke. I'm back home now and relaxing but I'm completely on edge which makes the situation even worse. FML!!!!
