Almost passed out, but lasted a long time

[simcrafty]

I recently have had some major life changes and problems, I am 38 yrs. old. the other day I was talking on the phone when I felt like I couldn't get enough air in my lungs, I broke out in a cold sweat, and thought I was going to be sick, I became very weak I could not hold my head up, for about an hour and a half this continued, I had just eaten a large meal, and felt like I couldn't breath because of that. when the "attack was over" I layed on the bathroom floor so weak and scared it would start again for about half an hour. I'm terrified it will happen again, and when I think about it I have to take a deep breath in. Any ideas on what this could be?

ok, so now I'm having a sweet taste in my mouth that won't go away. Yes I've made an appt. to see the Dr. I just thought you might be able to shed some light.

thank you all for your help, I am currently waiting for my medicaid to go through, if it does not I will be making a trip to the hospital

Please go see your doctor and ask to get thoroughly checked. Not to sound alarming but waiting for it to happen again may be a huge mistake. Do something about it now before something bad happens to you.

You should have gone immediately to the emergency room.

The liklihood is it "will happen again". And what you experienced was a life-threatening emergency.

I have a lot of ideas what it could be, but it is pointless to speculate.

If it happens again, go immediately to an emergency room.

The one thing about being in a grave is that you no longer have to worry about major changes and problems.

In the meantime, schedule an appointment with your health care provider for a full check-up.
