should I go to the doctor? o.o - Adramelech - 2010-12-16
So, I went to take a leak today and after pulling my pants up, my vision got darker and I felt light headed then fainted, when I got up I found that I fell faceforward on the floor, had a really painfull bump on my forehead. afterwards I dizzily stumbled to my bed and just spoke to my gf for a few hours. however after a few minutes I noticed that the left side of my neck,left shoulder,left arm all hurt ... sorta like needles. (p.s I fell to my right ) (p.s I felt abit of trouble breathing and fast heartbeat before I fainted )
I don't know why it happened maybe some of you are abit more knowledgeable , I'll just list what I did today.
went to sleep at 8:30 AM ( couldn't fall asleep after, had to reflect on an important conversation )
woke up at 2:30 PM and spent 30 minutes making lunch ( chicken salad )
3:30 spoke with my GF till midnight
Midnight went to make a sandwich ( mustard,pastrama,lettuce )
5 minutes past midnight till 3 AM kept talkin to my gf
3 AM went to take a leak and fainted.
thats basicly all I did today. maybe its from barely sleeping, I don't know.
going to the doctor isn't a money issue I just don't want to go if its probably not nessisary and worry my siblings.
when they heard the boom of me falling onto the floor ( its made of marble ) it woke everyone up. I just told them I slipped.

[COLOR="Magenta"]Yes.
Fainting multiple times like that is a very bad sign.

You better go, not to scare you but that could be preety bad, like an ummm... Brain stroke is it?
It happened to my father the exact same way, so yes, I advice you do.

I don't think any of us could be able to give you proper advice as good as a doctor's. Each person's condition/body is different from anyone else's.
Short form: Yes

I thought of that too however I'm only 18. then again my dad has Atherosclerosis . however I'm healthy and the last time I fainted I was very sick and it was like in 2002.
anyways I think I'll go first thing in the morning.

You know yourself and your symptoms better than anyone. Be honest, but also be smart - it's easy to get freaked out looking at possible illnesses. Bear in mind most will probably be pretty unusual for someone like you, but it's still helpful to help assess a medical situation better than asking us.

I don't mean to scare you, but please go to a doctor... if it was a full out stroke, you probably wouldn't have been in a state able to post on forum, but your symptoms sound dangerously like a mini stroke (Transient Ischemic Attack). That can be serious. You may be ok this time, but they can lead to more serious ones or even full out strokes. So if it was this, you need to know about it.
Good luck =)

Hopefully it's no big deal though =)

now after puting in my symptoms exactly I feel scared. one of the few possibilities was a brain aneurysm and it said that it could be caused by Atherosclerosis witch is what my father and grandfather and grandmother had/have.
I don't want a fucking stroke >_>. Its 7:30 AM, honestly I don't want to scare the pomegranate out of my bro and have him take me to the hospital but I'm fucking scared. I'm finaly enjoying my life I don't need a setback as severe as death.
then again it could also just be nothing but I dunno now.

[SIZE="7"]Go to the doctor, I'm sure your bro rather be scared than not have a bro.[/SIZE]

Have you told a family member or a friend? If you havn't, seriously, do that now. Get them to stay with you if you can't go to doctor until morning.
It'd be really awful if something did happen.

It's quite possibly a medical emergency, Your family WILL want to know.
Don't try and self diagnose. You know enough; that you have symptoms of some form of stroke or something, AND you have the genes in your family. No matter what your age, you are still vunerable to it. Of course it might be nothing (and I really hope that's the case) but your symptoms are kinda serious, and a doctor should be the one to judge it. The risk of doing nothing or waiting until later is probably high though.
But yeah, if somebody in my family was in that situation and didn't tell me, I'd be upset about it. Hell, I even told my flatmate off for not telling me when she spilled boiling water all over her leg.
Tell your bro, and I'm sure he'll take you to the hospital. Be brave

my cousin had an aneurysm when he was in 9th grade, so Bran stroke for you isn't too out of the question. Sometimes things just happen. No way to tell until you get it checked out.
When in doubt, always get it checked out.

Let me say this about medical advice:
If you THINK you need to see a doctor, chances are you actually do need to see a doctor.

Thank you for that little example, Swerve.
This way of thinking is probably what makes males have a shorter life expectancy than females.
Go to the doctor. Now. Go against every bit of instinct saying no and just fucking go.
