Bad night last night
Well, I don't think I have to worry too much about the birthday cake I ate
yesterday. It all came back up about later, thanks to the stomach flu. But this was after I had taken a nice hot bath to get rid of the flu 'aches.' After getting up to dry myself off, I passed out and ended up on the bathroom floor with DH rushing into the room and blood pouring from my nose from where I'd popped it. Then, I tried to get back up gradually from my knees and passed out again, this time bumping the back of my head on the wall behind me (don't ask me how I bumped the BACK of my head from being on my knees.) It was a scary time for all of us. I was so freaked out because I've never had that happen to me before! DH wanted to call an ambulance since he was sure I'd broken my nose, but I assured him that I didn't think it was broken (I could press, rub, etc., on it and it didn't hurt), and I told him that the combination of barely eating anything all day, the extra sugar in the birthday cake, a pain pill I'd taken for the flu 'aches,' and the hot bath were what caused me to pass out. I'm okay this morning. My neck muscles hurt and my nose is swollen, but I'll live. -- Linda 296/187.4/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 Now a happy member of the '100lbs.

Thanks, Carmen! I'm really feeling much better today, and I plan to get in
to the doctor's office Monday to make sure that everything's all right. -- Linda 296/187.4/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 Now a happy member of the '100lbs.

Thanks, Ig! It was definitely scary. The only thing I can figure is that
it was at least partly due to the stomach flu. -- Linda 296/187.4/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 Now a happy member of the '100lbs.

Puked and had diarrhea for a few hours and could not hold water well. I ALMOST passed out. I was standing next to the toilet, and then felt dizzy, decided to sit on the floor, noticed that my pulse was something like 30 -- I could not even count it properly -- and called my wife. Asked for some sugar water, that helped in a couple of minutes. I was pretty close to passing out. -- 223/172.4/180 |

Thanks, S t a c i! Thankfully, we're on fall break this weekend, so won't
be going back to work until Tuesday. My nose should be back to normal by then. -- Linda 296/187.4/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 Now a happy member of the '100lbs.

Bad combo! Glad you're feeling better...your post reminded me of when I went off plan when I was about a month into LC by eating two peanut butter cookies. I nearly passed out (I made it to the couch and slept it off.) Now, that was just a couple of cookies...not the flu, not pain pills, not lack of food. Makes me agree with you that the sugar in your birthday cake was a contributing factor! I think we can get really sensitive to sugar when we're not eating it regularly. Now, get yourself an ice pack for that nose. S t a c i |

Then, I tried to get back up gradually from my knees and passed out again, This happens to me from time to time. Usually for me, there are a few contributing factors, but the common theme in every episode is an extreme lack of sleep, followed by getting out of bed too quickly. I've passed out while standing in front of a toilet taking a leak before. Once while in the shower. I woke up looking at the ceiling with my feet in the shower. Most recently, when our dog had puppies, my wife yelled at me (at about 5am) to hop out of bed and help her with this one. I got out of bed and lasted about 20 seconds. These days, I can feel it coming and can lie down in a hurry so I don't hit my head which is the real danger. I also have enough time to warn people. I'm usually out for 10-20 seconds. Then when I regain consiousness, I have to stay lying down for five minutes or so. If I even try to sit up, out go the lights again. I haven't had an episode in over a year now, which makes me think that the 70lbs I lost, and the subsequent lower blood pressure, with low carb may have fixed this problem as well as a few others I'd had. brian 295/228/210 |
