    i got a bad cold a few days ago and have been sleeping for days.

    i havent been drinking AT ALL and im only taking a half an ativan a day. its been so hot and i havent eaten much. picked up two friends today, smoked a bowl with them, went grocery shopping for beach supplies, get dizzy, start to sweat, almost faint and have to sit there in the ac so scared they were gonna call an ambulance - said my lips were blue. i was soaked in sweat and so dizzy but i took my ativan and ended up being able to walk so my friend drove my car to my house. im okay now but soooo crazy.


    im supposed to camp at the beach on wed.
    might have to cancel.

    Wow, you might want to check into a hospital or something. Or at least get checked out.

    I do that when my blood pressure gets too low. Drink cold fluids and it will make your blood pressure go back up. (If that could be it) Next time it happens use one of those blood pressure monitors in the stores (if of course they have one).

    So if your blood pressure is up stay away from cold fluids.

    it was terrible btw. everyone was so scared and i was shaking and literally just had to sit... all the blood rushed outta my head.

    my neighbor, who i gotta go down n talk to then, he has LONG though i need a FULL mri not just my brainn but spinal cord and stuff n he freaks me out but i think im gonna listen to him.

    my doctor will tell me it's anxiety and if you look up panic attacks with heat exhaustion that fits. i hadnt been eating, i was sick, it was so hot... and a lot of that is panic symptoms plus i had taken a beta blocker and a zoloft n an allergy pill and only eat in 24 hours a yogurt and a plum. but allllllllllllllllllllll i was doing was sleeping so i wasnt hungry.

    its just so fucked up. im still recovering. my friends are so confused as to what happened n concerned but they think it prolly is all the stuff i mentioned... just a combination of things so im hoping they are right.
    im just so glad to be home.

    Ive BEEN to hospitals twice in the past couple months. They'll tell me the same things as before. I need to see a certain specialist and soon. And my family doctor soon just about the cold stuff. But I think I'll be okay tonight and going to the hospital will really be a waste of time and money.

    I need to just TAKE IT EASY. no more picking up stranged friends or smoking or grocery trips.....rest.

    Sorry that happened to you....but that is what I feel like when my blood pressure bottoms out.


    I hate doctors. My cardiologist told me that I shouldn't worry about my blood pressure. Yeah now I have a scar on my bottom lip from fainting. :rolleyes:


    Oh and sit with your head between your knees...it always makes me feel a bit better when I have my spells.

    Well, if you weren't eating you could have been hypoglycemic. That doesn't explain the blue lips, though.

    hm sitting with my head between my knees still helps. im better but im like not okay. i wanna go ask my neighbor about a pain killer n tell him about what happened but i dont even really trust standing that much. only the cold groceries are away the rest fuck em.

    well im gonna look into that tree. thanks... it makes me wonder about the fact that im on a med. for high blood pressure if it makes it too low sometimes now...that is defiantly interesting and im defiantly gonna do some research if i feel up to it tonight and talk to my doctor about that.

    it just all seems so strange to me.

    my two friends and three grocery stores employees were sitting with me and the one was freaking me out... she kept saying how blue my lips were and how pale i was. my friends said they were scared but i sat there for like ten mins and cooled down and they said some color came back to me and they knew my friend was gonna drive... i think if i wouldnt have looked better they would have called an ambulance and we had weed and a bowl in my car and i was paranoid but i was just more scared for my life... but as ive said, ive been to hospitals. it was prolly just a mix of things. im just glad im okay now.

    If smoking weed gives you panic attacks, you should really stay away from it, don't you think??

    I doubt it's heat exhaustion. For it to be heat exhaustion, you need to be sitting out in the sun for a really long time. I think it was probably a panic attack, combined with low blood sugar. Panic attacks can make your lips turn blue.

    yeah.

    it often makes me feel better in that way but sometimes i notice an intense connection to anxiety.


    it kinda feels good to walk if i dont walk too much now.

    n i smoked more weed later at my house... a bunch more... but im not anxious now... just weed and like hot then cold.

    Because of the way my blood pressure gets so low. Last time it was 86 over 44 and my pulse was 102.

    My mom made me walk around drinking cold water. hahaha


    I have no idea what is wrong. My cardiologist told me that my test results were normal. *shrugs*

    Well, if you're under a lot of stress that can mess with your cycle.

    Summer colds are the worst :mad:

    You should be out having fun at the beach or the amusement park instead you’re stuck at home feeling like shit :(

    BTW: Isn't tomorrow the anniversary of the first day of battle at gettysburg? If so, have you ever seen the re-inactment?

    Yeah. I sometimes black out. Which is why I commented on the new scar. I blacked out falling face first into a wall and then the floor.
