Normally I get warning signs that Im coming down with something. But not this time I started feeling bad at church last night and when we got home I went straight to bed my husband new something was wrong cause normally I stay up and that's our time that we can talk. Well in the middle of the night I woke up sweating I figured I was just getting to hot cause our bedroom gets the most heat. So I went to the bathroom and it started getting worse my head started spinning I got a cold wash rag for my face and on my way back to bed I fell down in the hallway. I yelled for my husband he didnt hear me my oldest girl woke up and I told her to get daddy she did. He called for an ambulance and they rushed me to hospital my pastor and his wife came over and stayed with the children. They did test to see if I had a heartache or a stoke but turns out it was bad case of the flu. So they started an IV in me for fluids and gave me some medicine. It almost 5pm here and I am just now getting up. I feel so bad because I've slept all day. Luckly I was able to get a sub for my classes for today and tomorrow. Im starting to feel a little better just really weak right now so Im laying on the couch with my laptop.

Thank you, yes my husband had already ordered me to rest lol when I did get up earlier he asked what I was doing and I told him I couldnt handle laying in bed anymore. Staying down is one of the hardest for things for me to do but Im trying to listen and follow orders cause last night kind of scared. The only time I move from the couch is to go to the bathroom and I've been drinking sprite and different juices today.

Aren't you having pre-menopausal symptoms? I heard some women in this stage feel all the symptoms you explained.

I dont know I have often wondered because this has happened before not the falling but the sweating and feeling very ill. Im going to the doctor on monday for follow up and more test to make sure its not anything else.I think they ran the test for a heartack or stroke because of the dizzyness then the fall. whatever it is I hope it goes away soon
