Advice?

I wasn't feeling well yesterday, to make matters worse, this morning i was awoken by a phone call from the police, it's procedure for them, about a mugging of mine 4 months ago. 7.30am in the bloody morning, nevermind. I can remember leaping out of my bed, getting to the phone and i immediately started feeling rather ill and my BP was a bit freaky. Then i fainted and 2-3 minutes later i regained my consciousness. Ambulance came and my readings came back as normal. Just been in bed this morning and have been to the toilet twice, sick on both occasions. Lovely :rolleyes:

Needless to say, i'm feeling like ass right now, i've just had some soup for lunch and a hot chocolate and i'm rather wary of eating solids as such...

Anyone with recommendations as to what i can take, drink or eat?? My back and legs are feeling rather achey - but i'll put that down to the **** my body has gone through this morning, that and being sick also....

:smile:

I think you need to seek medical advice - I'm not sure why you fainted. Maybe blood rushing to your head. It's good that you're eating though. Try only one slice of bread at a time. Sometimes being sick is a good thing as it get the toxins out of you, so don't try to repress it if you feel it coming.

i fainted 4 months ago at work, i do have low BP and i think this contributes to me fainting. I did hit my knee on a metal object at work and that set things off then. I think my fainting today may be down to my diet, in that i may not be eating enough atm, consuming sufficient enough calories. I'm doing enough exercise, eating pretty well, but not taking in enough calories. I'm considering eating something, having a snack, before bed...just so my BP isn't low. This morning i leapt out of bed, to get to the telephone, this may have set off proceedings, combined with the stomach ache i've had for the last 24hrs. Went to A & E the last time i fainted, as i had rather bad shock and i thought i may have had a heart attack, didn't turn out to be the case and my readings in A & E came back fine, suggesting i was physically fit/healthy. It wasn't a case of nerves, like the medics suggested this morning, i guess the rush out of bed and to the phone did something to me. My legs and back have been terribly achey today :frown:
