Did I have a seizure?

**Big Dozer** · Posted On: 6/16/2009 9:09pm

Yesterday morning I got up and everything was blurry and my room was moving like I was on a boat. I had a test so I was determined just to walk it off. I took two steps and fell flat. I pulled myself up on the other bed and try again. I fall against the wall and stumble into the bathroom and vomit(I missed the toilet :( ) I either fell asleep or passed out for about 15 minutes (I know this because I noticed the clock when I came too) When I came to things were clear and I was on land again. I cleaned up, showered and got dressed. I was tying my tie when I had to vomit again.

I was nauseous until about 11PM the incident happened at 5AM. I have a doctor's appointment for Tuesday of next week. But I am concerned now. didnt have any liquor over the weekend. Do any of you have any clue WTF happened to me?

Instead of asking a internet message board full of martial arts dorks, why don't you go to the emergency room or an urgent care center?

Like I said I have a doctor's appointment for Tuesday. Earliest appointment available. Found that Bullshido members tend to be well knowledge. Also, last time I went to Urgent care it cost me $500 and the piece of **** doctor prescribed me something I was allergic to. In litigation against that clinic right now.

I'd see the doctor. It could be anything from Vertigo to Anxiety.... Better safe than sorry.

I don't think any Bullies are doctors. The closest thing we might have is TheRuss. I would not wait until next Tuesday to see a doctor. I'm not a expert on medical matters by any stretch of the imagination, but the symptoms you describe seem very, very serious. Even if you didn't have a seizure, even if you feel fine, the real threat is something similar happening again. Imagine that **** happening while you're driving or in the shower.

Get thee to an emergency room, post haste.

I just want to say two things:
1) I'm not a doctor (not that you said I was, but I think it bears repeating), and
2) I don't know what's wrong with the OP. If he's lucky, it's nasty food poisoning. If he's not... God knows.

Best of luck with the medical system.

If you decide to go to urgent care, you can get on a payment plan. You might want to discuss the payment before hand, so they know where you stand with insurance. If you don't have insurance, they may charge you less.

I took myself to the hospital for the first time last year. I make minimal monthly payments so it doesn't go to collections.

Better safe than sorry though, and get well. Your health is more important than your money.

I am not a doctor.

I've had seizures and they are nothing like you describe. I suspect you had food poisoning or some other tummy virus.

Still, go see the doctor.
