Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well.. seems like my body decided to force me to go get checked out.

Last night at work while standing in my check out lane, I fainted.
While on the floor I was shaking so hard they thought I was having an epileptic fit.
When I came out of it, they put me into a wheelchair and took me to the break room. The security guard tested my pulse and said my heart was racing. They called my dad and told him to come get me.
Like a minute after fainting, I started getting really bad chest pains that put me in tears.
It started in my heart and ran up the side of my neck, stabbing pains that faded in and out every few seconds. Then they started going just below my breast in a dull ache, but still stabbing through my upper left chest and neck.
Because the heart pains were so bad my dad took me to the hospital.
They drew blood, x-rayed my chest, did an EKG, and then a catscan because a blood test showed a possibility of a clot in my lungs.
However, my lungs were just fine.
About half the time spent in the hospital was waiting for them to come back with the release papers.
And, they don't know why I faint.
So, a normal doctor, a heart specialist, and a hospital. None of them helped.
They gave me a prescription for anti-anxiety medicine, but that's only for a few days. They want me to follow up with my regular doctor.
If I faint from anxiety though, how come it happens when I'm not stressed, and how come I shake?
How come I get dizzy spells even when I'm perfectly happy, like spending time with my boyfriend?


And the funny thing is, my dad tried to blame this all on my mother.
He said it's because of her leaving us that I'm so stressed out that I faint.
Really? So I must have predicted it happening two years ago when I started fainting? And my mom hasn't abandoned us. She's working in another city that's just 2 hours away in her sister's jewelry store. She visits all the time. And I'm happy, I'm happy that she's doing something she wants, that she isn't letting my dad control her completely anymore.

Is there a real doctor House?
If so, please contact him.

T.T I dun wanna loose my apocky.

They should have done an MRI, there could be something in your brain that shorts things out. *watches entirely too much Grey's Anatomy which focuses a lot on brain surgeries*

*huggles for Apoc* My cousin actually got a blot clot in her lungs, be happy it isn't that. She was in the car too long and then stood around at the inauguration for too long without moving and now she's on blood thinners and can't eat like, anything or else the clots will come back. So it really sucks. At least it isn't that, but you might be put on some thinners if your blood is showing potential for clotting. (are you on BC? That can cause clotting...)
