Post #199 - For Lack of a Better Title - ha!

I forgot to write down what happened to me on Sunday.

I swear I thought I was having a heart attack or a stroke... no kidding.

I got up around the same time I usually do on Saturday... around 10 or 11am. I decided to have a lazy morning, so I laid down on our couch and watched TV. I got sleepy and fell asleep sometime near noon. Later on into the afternon after I woke up (maybe around 3...told you it was a lazy day!), I felt my heart doing crazy flips, which it does randomly anyway. I've never thought it was a big deal, considering it never affected me (other than stopping to wonder why it's doing that). Besides, it never lasted longer than a minute or two before. But on Saturday, I started to have issues. It seemed like I couldn't breathe in enough air to satisfy my body, and I could feel my heartbeat everywhere, like it does when I'm underwater too long. My heartbeat was LOUD in my ears, too. It was like my heart was trying to jump out of my mouth. I sat up, thinking maybe I was laying wrong... or something... who knew?

I walked in to wake up Josh and suddenly I started getting dizzy and my vision was blacking out, like I was about to pass out. I kept telling him something was wrong, but he was still half asleep and didn't really understand me. I completely lost my hearing over the span of about two minutes. I know it was gradual b/c I was right beside the door to the central air pump. I thought it was stopping at first, but then I realized it was me when I looked down at Lucy when she made a meow face and I never heard the meow. I think I made some kind of noise (I know I tried to, but I couldn't hear anything at all by then), b/c Josh got up and rushed over to me, guiding me back to the couch. He brought me ice water and made me lay back down. My heart was still crazy then, but then it calmed back down to about 70 for about ten minutes. Later on, my pulse went back up to where it was (140 and more throughout this whole time), but I never experienced any effects like I did before.

I really didn't know what was happening, and I was worried for the rest of the day.

Has anyone else had goofy inexplicable things like this happen to them before?
