Anyone ever passed out before? TMI Sorry - Military Benefits

JKirstiH · 02-16-2007, 08:34 PM

I went for my post op today and meet with the DR.. that all went fine...then I started to get dressed and starting throwing up. Luckly there was a sink. I felt light headed and nauseous and then the next thing I know I am on my back loooking at the ceiling. I don't think I have even passed out. It scared the daylights(literally) out of me. I guess it is not a big deal because I got up and just sat for a bit. I have slept most of the day. I have been taking in fluids so it just scared me. I know I am also reacting to the Erythromycin. It makes me feel awful. Only two more days of that though. I just wanted opinions. It has never happened to me.

I've passed out before due to my sugar level being so low.

Did you mention it to the nurse or doctor while you were there?

Do you think that you could call the doc and talk to them about getting a different prescription?? Don't think that you should be puking and passing out!!

I have passed out many times. For me its no big deal except the falling and the pain that comes with the dead weight of my body slamming into the ground. I'd mention it to your DR. you never can tell why it happened.

I have passed out because of my blood sugar being low. Not fun. Did the Dr say anything?

I've passed out from my blood sugar being too low and heat exhaustion...
not lately though. More when I was in grade school. By college it had pretty much disappeared, but I think I passed out twice in college.

I am pretty sure it was the med and vomiting(Dr agreed) The Erythromicin(sp?) made my heart feel as if it would jump out of my chest. I slept most of yesterday. It scared the heck out of me. One minute I am standing up then next I am on the floor. I don't like the out of control feeling. It scared me. Thanks for all the advice. I can't imagine what it feels like to have it happen multiple times like some of you have had. YIKES
