whats wrong with me?!

i just went out for a walk in my village, went to the post office then went down to the river where i bumped into a very old friend from primary school, we had a chat and he offered me a cigarette and we just stood there for a bit. then he went wherever he was going and i carried on going for a walk (i felt like i needed some excercise) then i went to the local newsagent and while i was in the queue i suddenly started to feel really sick and my vision started to go really wierd, sort of like when you get up too fast, but it just didnt go away and by the time i got out of the shop all i could see was a very faint black and white outline of what was around me and loads of spots. and all i could hear was a really loud buzzing. i sort of felt like i was going to faint, but knew i wasnt and all i knew i needed to do was get home. but i could not see anything and all i could hear was buzzing and i felt really wierd.
it got a bit better on the way home, i had to stop a few times and just hold on to fences and stuff, and when i got home i had a bit drink of water and layed down and now its gone.
but seriously, this has really scared me! its never happened before

It happened to me for the first time last year in Bordeaux. I think it was due to a mix of the heat, dehydration and fatigue. Take a rest, and eat something, and you'll be ok.

I get those exact symptoms when I have a migraine. It is usually followed by vomiting. Not nice at all. So it's possible that that's what it was. It could just be sun stroke or dehydration though. :smile:

It's a woman thing.

Sounds like the heat got to you, I get that.

i get that sometimes, im gonna guess the shop u went into was air conditioned, while outside its hot. The change in temperature lowered your heart rate suddenly and your blood pressure dropped fast, thus a loss of blood to your head. If it happens again, sit down and put your head between your knees - or if its convenient lie down and raise your legs up on something (this works faster). lol i only know thats what caused it for me cos conveniently enough it happened when i was registering with the doctor - still gets you an appointment on the spot if you collapse in the doctors surgery!

Ooooh! sounds like what i used to get- Hypoglycemia. It happens when you don't eat, and your blood sugar drops. I have had the exact same experience before, but when I lie down rest and eat I feel better.

You might want ot see a doctor about this.

I had that constantly last year, turns out I was slightly anaemic, blood pressure was wrong, but mainly because my inner ear had taken it upon itself to start growing at that moment.

*hmms*

If they say so...

dodgy cigarette?

heat is most likely, drink lots of water

I had those symptoms a few weeks ago. I was in the shower, and I began to feel really sick and I felt like I couldn't get enough air. I got out of the shower and sat down, and my vision went and everything was black and white and really fuzzy and sparkly. I could also hear buzzing and I couldn't see. After about 5 mins my vision returned - but I was really scared coz I didn't have a clue what was wrong with me. Hope you don't get it again. This thread has answered a lot of my questions as to what it was - so thanks!

Sorry to hear that you felt lousy but the best thing is plenty of water and some food (even if you don't feel like it) like others have said.

Did you smoke the cigarette?

Do you smoke in general?

If you don't it could have been that + heat having that effect.
