unknown cause
i woke up from sleep one night feeling strange. i went down stairs because i felt the urge to urinate. on the way downstairs i was totally off balance and dizzy. i got to the bathroom and sat down and lost my bowels and fell off the toilet. my husband came down. i could no longer feel my arms or legs. i could not talk without slurring and i felt like i was in a tunnel going far away. my husband poured cold water on me and took my BP 60/38. kept pouring cold water on me. this lasted about 20 minutes he said till i started coming back around. he said i was clammy and white and could not lift my head or any part of my body. he made me drink coffee in hopes to raise my BP. i was fatigued for hours after that. i am on no medications, 48 years old, and otherwise healthy female. the only way i can describe what i was feeling is that my whole entire body felt like it was shutting down. no trauma or unusual happenings in my life at that time because i wondered about stress.
thank you
Answers:
60/38BP. Your lucky your husband could revive you. I don't what exactly could of caused these severe symptoms. Could be many things and you need to be seen by your Dr. ASAP. Couple of things come to my mind like hypotension, heart arrythmia's. Please be seen.Purple98Lady
