yuckyuckyuck. i just got so many emergency room flashbacks in such a bad way.
also. johnny shirts! i have one. i stole it because every hospital onna planet seems to use the same laundry detergent, and the smell makes me go "everything's okay". la.
was the fainting just when you got out of the tub? as in, is that the only time wot you fainted, or have there been other instances? i've fainted a fair bit for various reasons, and i used to crash crazymuch after getting out of the shower. eventually, it was determined that despite/in accordance with the fact that i'm anemic and have an ever-changing blood pressure, and a diabetic, basically, i had the water too hot. we were looking for a much bigger problem, but a friend of mine was crashing to the floor regularly after baths, and we decided to start with the simple thing. yah. just needed to make sure i wasn't starving hungry when i went in, and to be careful when i got out, because the heat = lightheadedness.
did they do any bloodtests on you, or just the heart, neurological etc.?
so, um. maybe just start keeping a record? when do you feel lightheaded, what times of the day, do you get headrushes often, headaches etc. especially pay attention to how you feel going into and coming out of the bath/shower, and maybe how much you've eaten before? right.
plus, stupid pregnancy thing. a young female who is sick is not automatically pregnant, liek wtf. i abhor that question. fiery passion and all that.
