Can You Tell Me What Happened? Posted: 05-07-04 04:13am
I was driving to the store yesterday
evening and got an immediate flushed
sensation in my head & blacked out for
a second or two; yes while driving. My
heart felt as it had stopped beating &
then came back with a clenched, pounding
feeling. I got a hot sensation down the
left side of my neck & into my
shoulder and a numbing sensation down to
my fingers. I had to pull to the side
of the road because I felt dizzy & had
to catch my breath, as I felt I was going
to pass out again. I took several deep
breaths & coughed a bit. Today, my
neck feels tense & my left arm is a
bit weak. I am only 29 and this event
scared me to the point of concern. I
have not contacted a doctor and wanted to
rely on some suggestions from the
audience. Can you give me an idea if I
should be concerned with this incident?
What are the chances that this could be a
sign of future issues. Thank you.

If all this occurred on the left side then
you might have had a stroke. This is
serious, see your doctor.. I have
patients from situations like that, and I
work on the icu.
