Fainting spell again... saddened..
My fainting spell came upon me yesterday evening when i was on my way to TM to catch a movie with my colleagues, Bao Yue & hui yi... Thanks god, they were there when it happened... i freaked them out pretty badly though.. thanks to u guys...
I was feeling as per normal when we board the train after work... it was pretty packed thus we got to stand at the connecting part of the mrt carriage.. we were happily chatting away from bouna vista to somewhere near payar lebar... then suddenly i felt tired, a little breathless(like i had to put in extra effort to breathe) and had difficulties opening my eyes.. at that moment, i knew my fainting spell was coming.... Quickly told huiyi and baoyue that i wasnt feeling well and need to sit.. (by then i wasnt clear of what was happening ard me) but there were no seats available so i think baoyue told me to sit down on the floor.. well i did... after (i think) for 2-3 stations, i seat on the floor, i felt better and intended to stand up... as i stood up, someone left his/her seat(apparently cos she/he was alighting; not bcos she/he was giving up the seat for me) and i wanted to go over and take that seat.... the next moment i knew, bao yue was asking me if my head hurt... initially, i thot i was still sitting on the floor... but i wasnt ..... I fainted on the floor... then ppl ard me started to move away (maybe to give me some space to breathe or they just wanna get away for all the trouble...).
with the help of baoyue and huiyi... i went over to the seat and there was these 2 kind auntie and uncle who offered me a bottle of medication oil and newspaper to fan me... so kind of them... by then i realised ppl were staring at me instead of helping... baoyue was applying medication oil all over me and huiyi fanning me... by then i was was feeling lot better...
After everything.... we alighted at Tampines and while huiyi and baoyue excot me down, i started to see stars again... then i seat at stairs and bao yue bought me cup of coffee while huiyi went to get the movie tix... After 10 mins i felt ok le and we went ahead to get our LJS dinner.. While we waited for the dinner, hui yi and baoyue told me what happened earlier on(cos normally i cant remember wat exactly happened when i was abt to faint)...
according to Huiyi and baoyue... as i was standing up, i looked very pale and i starting to shiver and shake(as if i was going through a fit).. then i collapsed onto the floor... Both of them freaked out and after 10 sec i came around... The kind uncle almost pressed the emergency stop button for help and told baoyue and huiyi to bring me to the hospital.... woah... luckily he didnt.... cos normally after i faint... i just need to rest for about half an hour, i will be back to my normal self.... well... ya... i continued on with my movie date with baoyue and huiyi last night after my fainting spell... and even had LJS for my dinner...
Really glad that baoyue and huiyi were there with me when it happened... thanks to u guys again... This is definitely a memorable date for us... our first date somemore... hahaha... ^-^
My mum freaked out too after i told her abt my fainting... she knew about my condition but she is always worried cos my fainting spell will just come without any warning... well, for my condition.. it is not much of a problem to me as it only occurs once a year.. thanks god... i hope it will never come again... the feeling isnt great... and it brings unnecessary attention and worries for people around me... it has been almost 5 years since i last visit the cardio specialist who diagnose me with vasovagal syncope... should i see the doc again????
YueN signing off.... cooling morning..
