My Attack

[SmJordan]

I'm a fit 37 year old male I'm 5-10 weight 170lbs I know it's stupid but I don't go to doctors unless I'm in the back of an ambulance. A few days ago I don't know what happened. I was sitting at the kitchen table reading a book and I got extreme dry mouth I got up to walk the 6 steps to get a drink of water and I was super short of breath I got really bad tunnel vision and then I collapsed I didn't loose awareness of what was going on around me it felt like everything was really far away after a few seconds (that's what it felt like at least) I tried to get up to ealk into the living room to lay down on the couch I made it about halfway before collapsing again I layesvwhere I was for about 15 minutes then went to the couch and laid down I was sweating and and had dry mouth in the next 20 minutes or so I drank a glass of water and I began to feel better I don't feel as I did before my attack but I feel much better what do you think

That's a complicated list of symptoms. It sounds to me that you were dehydrated, but there's probably more to your situation than just dehydration. I wonder if you had a vasovagal attack or something else. I think you should be a good internist who probably should refer you to an appropriate specialist.
