Scary things...

Something is wrong with me.

Story goes like this. The night before last, Saturday night, I went out to eat with PJ. It was this yummy Peruvian/Brazilian place in Deerfield Beach that had some real authentically good Peruvian dishes. Alas, we get back to his place and hang out, watch tv, I have one beer, then I ask if I can use the shower cause I have a horrible stench of food.

I didn't bother with the shower settings, so they were set on really hot...it was kinda stuffy and sauna-ish. But alas, I started feeling a bit woozy and my ears started kind of dulling and then my vision began to tunnel. I called out to PJ and I told him, "I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy," and something along the lines of "hold me up" then I blacked out completely. It felt like I was asleep for a long time when all of a sudden I heard a guy yell "Hey!" at me and I opened my eyes and saw PJ leaning over me, while I was laying in the tub. I remember saying "what? what happened?" And apparently, story goes like this. After I said "hold me up" I started hyperventilating and went limp in his arms. He laid me down, but I had my eyes open the whole time. He said I looked dead and had yelled at me to wake up a lot of times and yelled to his roommate to call an ambulance. Weird, cause I'd only heard him yell that "hey" once.

So, in conclusion...I talked to Nick, who said it looked like a combo of me being dehydrated, in a poorly ventilated area, and pre-menstrual...which caused me to have a vasovagal episode. Something about blood pressure dropping and body shutting down in order to provide enough blood to the major organs or something.

I also took my blood pressure on my mom's monitor like 4 times and each time it said I had an irregular heartbeat. The machine works, cause we tested it on Marissa and my mom, which came out to different results. Alas, Nick pulled some strings and talked to his work buddies and I'm set to get checked out by a doctor on Wednesday. They'll be hooking me up to an ekg or getting a heart echo or something. I don't know medical terms.

Been feeling crappy lately in regards to my lungs. Asthma has been kicking my ass and now with all this passing out, I won't be able to train as hard as I want to for the ING Marathon. Mind you, I'm still going to run!

So, I will advise as to what is going on with me as the information is given to me. :/
