I thought mum would die.

Oh ronald, I'm glad to hear your Mum was ok. But how frightening for everyone! My parents are quite old and sometimes when I talk to them on the phone, I'm convinced they won't last much longer. I worry and worry until I talk to them again. We live so far apart and I can't just drop in on them......... Last year though was the worst. My 23 year old son came home to me with cancer and the following months and months were a constant up and down rollercoaster ride of fear and worry. He's 95% cancer free now, but I still live with the fear that I will lose him if he gets sick again. Sometimes life just sucks, you know?

I'm so glad to know that your mom is alright! Great news, ronaldinu! I had a very similar scare concerning myself. I was in my apt with a friend when I started feeling very poorly. I called an ambulance and when they arrived they started to take my vitals. When I stood up to lay down on the guerney (?) they immediately had me sit down again because my blood pressure had fallen so severely. At the hospital they conducted more tests and concluded that I was okay. It was very scary for me. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I am so sorry to hear that traumatic incident happening for your mum. I am just happy to know that despite all those things everything seems to be okay for now. I just think that you need to be extra careful now that you've witness how this happens. Maybe an extra watchful for your mum every now and then as it can happen again anytime again.

Ronaldinu...I am so sorry to hear about your Mother...but am pleased she is in recovery and doing well! I am hoping that she will be seeing your family Doctor, as you probably well know...Blood pressure "out of the normal" range can have many dire consequences...and she should be under Dr's care! The reason, I became a paramedic was my son! He was born with a hole in his heart, so all of his younger years, he was immune compremized! Many, many health scares....and we are so far from hospitals, that are accessible only by helicopter or water taxii! Please look after your Mother and I pray she gets her Blood Pressure in line!

Oh I am so sorry for that, ronaldinu, I hope your mother would be fine soon. Low blood pressure is really worth worrying. Well, I had the same experience though. My mother was ill when I was in the high school, she had a really bad health and she was taken to the hospital outside the country to get the better treatment because the doctor said she could get better treatment there. She had the clot in her lung and she neede biopsy to know what it was. She was ill and she was throwing up almost every hour and she never stop coughing. She told us that she though she might die that day. She's living. Healthy now after the treatment.

Last February my mom had a miscarriage. She hemorrhaged really bad and ended up losing 1/3 of her blood. She kept passing out, and we rushed her to the hospital. My little siblings were crying, because she kept blacking out, I was worried sick, but trying to help dad keep everything calm. They kept her in the hospital for a few days with IVs and stuff, and she was ok, but it was scary. It was sad enough to lose the baby, but I would have been heart broken to lose my mom. I love her so much, so I completely know the feeling!

My husband woke me up about a year ago with something that looked very much like a seizure. It really scared us, but he probably had both low blood pressure and low blood sugar as well as being under lots of stress. He is just fine now.

I once had a relative suffer some kind of problem while driving, that caused him not to know what he was doing, and we would have gotten into an accident of some soort, had I not figured out how to get him to stop the car. I opened the door, and threatened to jump out. When he heard my feet on the pavement, he stopped the car.

That's bad.. U mean she has got low blood pressure all along?? If so, maybe u or even she herself, should have some sweets with her, so that it's able to prevent such things from happening.. Or even while she has fallen on the floor, feeding her some sweets to boost her blood pressure, and she will definitely feel much better while waiting for the ambulance to arrive ^_^ Being family members, both u and your father has to know what to do in times like this ^_^

I glad all turned out ok for your mum ronaldino, its a worry when our mums get old, I know I love my parents and worry about them all the time, I don't live near them at the moment, have a lovely day

I have low blood pressure problems as well. I was alone one summer day in Atlantic City, New Jersey. I was having so much fun and luck that I skipped lunch. Suddenly, I got really hot and dizzy. I was trying to make my way to the door to go outside to get air, well I never made it to the door. I passed out right there in the middle of the casino. When I came too, people were swabbing my head with water, they took me to the nurse, and my pressure was really low, they gave me aspirin and orange juice to drink. this has happened to me many times, and it is not a good feeling when you feel yourself going faint. Glad your mom is okay.

nice to know your mom os ok.yes i do have some experinced like that when hubby had heart problem.i was scared, helpless all the negative things i can´t imagine but so far so good,he is fine

Hi ronaldinu Well I am glad to hear that it was nothing more serious but she could have really hurt herself had she had fallen. I guess I am lucky that none of my relatives have ever had any close health scares but in time I guess it will happen.

Oh god bless you and your family.

Wow that is scary. My mom slipped recently on her stairs and they are very steep and about 20 steps do I am in fear everyday that she might fall or become unbalanced. She doesn't have good balance as it is with her deteriorating hip of hers. I hope she will find a place with no stairs soon. Your mom needs a portable blood pressure kit like my mom bought that she can take with her it is small and can fit in the palm of her hand it wraps around her wrist to take her blood pressure and heart beat.

my boyfriend was at the studio painting and he fell unconscious, they rushed him to hospital and it was his blood pressure too. He was given a new medication and it way too strong and cause him to fall unconscious like that.

I'm glad to hear that your mum is alright now. It's really scary to be at the situation, and luckily your father was able to hold your mum so that she would not fall down. I have not really encounter this situation before, my dad had a surgery few years back. The surgery process took much longer than we were told, and we were really worrying about him while waiting outside. Since then, I always think that we should really take well care of our health and also always spend time with our parents whenever we can.

I am glad that you mum is ok. Your incident reminds me of the day my husband got home from work and as he got changed noticed bright red blotches all over his legs and arms. I told to him to get to a doctor a.s.a.p. because it looked like mennigacoccal to me! The doctor sent him to hospital where my husband puzzled everyone as it was determined it wasn't mennigacoccal but it took ages for the doctors to recognize what it was. I don't recall the name; it was a rare disease. My poor husband was off work for weeks and his symptoms were followed by acute stomach pains as well. Thankfully he recovered but I was worried for a while there as it took so long for him to improve!

That is very scary! I remember one time, my family was all gathered for Thankgiving dinner. My Dad began to cough, and just stopped breathing. Mom, and my uncle thought he was choking. I never saw a table that size be literally thrown out of the way so quickly in my life. My uncle shoved the table out of the way, and Mom got behind Dad to do the Heimlich Manuver on him. Just before she did it, she heard him gasp in air. He wasn't choking, he had blacked out and in the process, stopped breathing. No warning or nothing. It was scary. We didn't call an ambulance for him because until we knew what exactly was going on, it was more important to care for him. Thankfully, enough of us are trained in medical emergencies to know how to handle those situations. My Dad had a sinus infection at that time, and as a result of it, he was having trouble breathing anyway. Apparently, when he swallowed his food, he was also lacking oxygen at that time, and it caused a snowball effect leading to him blacking out. After that, he wouldn't even drive until he was completely over the infection for fear of blacking out behind the wheel.

Hyee dear, First of all m very glad to here that your mother is fine. It happens, and this can be referred to simply a stage in life & about your thought that your mum would die, i would say that it was the "care" for your mum. Generally we think about the people around us who are very close to us and a thought upto this extent is only for whom we really wish to remain happy always. If u take this incident the other way round then i would say that "few accidents really bring the people closer thereby bridging the gap between our thoughts" Hav fun and wish u and your family a very "HAPPY LIFE" regards
