Had a slight accident Friday. I was pulling tires off my truck, stood up and felt dizzy. Dropped to one knee and the next thing I remember is Myrtle Grove firefighters standing over me. I was having Grand Mal seizures supposedly on my front lawn. Got a nice ambulance ride to Sacred Heart Emergency Room. CAT scan and EKG normal, pulse Oxygen and blood sugar a little low.

Have an outpatient appointment Monday with a Neurologist for an EEG. Really scary episode, not allowed to drive, no history of seizures. Heart rate was way up during the ambulance ride, but I'm not sure if that's because I was panicing or not.
 
God damn redguru. That is scary stuff. Glad youre back. Please follow whatever the doctor recommends so that you can recover fully.
 
holy crap take care of yourself and if you have low blood sugar, take care of that:)
Hope your ok
 
Damn Red...that sucks. Glad to hear you are ok.

If it makes you feel any better, I just did battle with McDonalds breakfast burritos the last couple of days, if you know what I mean.
 
They said it was a little low, not sure what normal is, but I think it was like 75. I hope I am OK as well. The CAT Scan was scaring me, I figured it was gonna show a tumor or something. I have no history of anything like this, and am reasonably healthy.
 
My sister had one early Sat. morning (yesterday) at a pool hall, she had the same tests and everything was fine. They think it may have been blood sugar or diabetes related. I think it may have scared her to finally do something about her eating & weight.

Thank god you are okay. Make sure you take care of yourself. Any pretty ladies coming over to check on you ?? :qt:

Hope to see you posting during the games today.
 
Its a tumah!
lol, sounds fun Red, what you got planned for next weekend?

Im sure youll be fine. Your going to love the EEG goop they put in your hair to hold the leads on.
Are you sure it was a grand mal seizure? I mean did you lose control of your bladder and bowels?

People when they just pass out go through a hurky jurky phase as they come back after syncope sometimes people mistake it for a seizure.
If the EEG doesnt turn up seizure activity going on also consult a cardiologist that specialiazes in electrical disturbances to make sure that isnt an issue as well.
Alot of physicians dont know what long QT syndrome is and miss it on EKGs and also intermittent rhythm disturbances they can put a holter monitor on you to watch your rhythm to see if it goes irregular.

As you probably know, you may never know what caused it and it wont happen again, but good opportunity to get yourself all checked out. Heart and brain both

True, I didn't lose control of bladder or bowel. So, I guess it wasn't grand mal. I was thinking abnormal rhythm as well, because my HR was through the roof as well as my blood pressure on the ambulance ride, and calmed down enroute to the hospital. As far as the flopping fish syndrome, I supposedly did that immediately after passing out. I didn't come to for about 10 minutes, after the fire department arrived. I plan on getting a cardio consult as well. I'll have the Neurologist refer me to reduce my co-pay.

hmmm, ten minutes, thats a grip of time. Did anyone administer first aid like check your breathing and heart rate?
The first thing to be concerned with is a ventricular arrythmia but out for ten minutes is a bit long seeing as you'd probably be dead right now if it was.

Perhaps it is a seizure, people pass out all the time but not for that long.

That's scary RG. Take care of yourself and keep us up to date on what is going on. Hope everything checks out well.

It's weird as hell, out of the fuggin blue. Like BB said, it's probably a one-time occurence and will never find out why.

If you came to and were basically immediately "with it" it probably wasn't a seizure (aside of the twitching). It's the post seizure period of confusion that generally decides whether it was a seizure or no.

Low blood sugar is notorious for causing out of the blue fainting, especially when it's combined with lack of sleep, physical activity, alcohol or illicit drug consumption within the past 24 (not saying you were, just listing the common stuff), heat stress, dehydration.

You're heart will pound like mad when your blood pressure goes down, if your blood pressure dropped when you stood up, combined with the low blood sugar ... well, you rebooted your brain :qt:
 
I was wondering where you were.

I wish you the best of luck in this matter and in finding out what the hell happened and why. I think not knowing the what's and why's is the most irritating part. I still never got a satisfactory answer as to the cause of the tumor I was diagnosed with last year... three ENT surgeons and over half a dozen doctors with nothing but speculation.
