Okay, first, take a deep breath. You're in a scary situation right now and the best way to handle this kind of situation is to remain calm and rational. I'm a pre-med student and my whole family is in the medical business.
So, I'm going to be one of those scary doctors someday. I've done a lot of case studies and have seen and heard of a lot of crazy medical stories. When I first started reading this post, I thought it was just going to be the normal, "You're dehydrated" or "You have orthostatic hypotension".
However, you're systems are very concerning. It sounds like there's something going on with your cardiovascular or circulatory system, but it's hard to pin-point without more history and physical examination. I know you're scared - but this could be a really serious issue.
What if you're driving and suddenly pass out before you can pull over? You have to go to the doctors, and you cannot wait. Take someone you trust with you - it can be your mom, your best friend, anyone.
Anyone that makes you feel comforted, calm, and safe. When your doctor first comes into your room, make it clear to him/her that you're scared stiff about medical related stuff but will do the best you can to explain your symptoms. This will let the doctor know you're thinking rationally about the situation without being stubborn.
If you have a hard time speaking directly with the doctor, talk to your 'person' you've brought along beforehand and explain all of your symptoms, concerns, and observations you've made about yourself so your 'person' can explain to the doctor for you. If you find yourself getting tongue-tied midsentence, don't worry. Take your time.
Your doctor will be concerned for your health and will want you to make sure you're taking your time to say your symptoms and think everything through clearly. In the meantime, be keeping tabs on yourself. Pay attention to everything detail.
What you eat. If there's a certain time you're more affected by the symptoms. How you recover from an episode.
How long from the early onset of the symptoms until you pass out. Everything. If you can, write this down clearly in a journal to give to your doctor to read.
Don't be afraid to put your thoughts in there too - no one knows your body better than yourself. Sometimes your emotions and thoughts tell more about your condition than you're aware of - this will help your doctor a lot. Don't picture the doctor as the scary person in the white coat.
They're a person just like you. They get sick and scared too. Their place in the world is to discover what's going on in people such as yourself.
Remember, they aren't there to hurt you. They're there to heal you. Next time you fully pass out, call 911.
Sometimes a trip to the emergency room is the fastest way to get answers and it may possibly save your life. When you're at the hospital, whether in the ER or general care, and there hasn't been a given solution to your condition yet, demand an echocardiogram. A lot of times cardiovascular complications will be dismissed as something as simple as a stomach ache.
It's really important to make sure your heart is healthy right now - passing out can do a lot of damage to the heart and brain. If there's something going on in your heart, the ECHO should show the problem. I hope this helps.
Please get yourself checked out soon and stay safe. Update me on how you're doing if you want, okay? Take care xxKate.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
