Argh I think I just (an hour or so ago) had a heart attack or similar, but idk how to tell the difference between that and a panic attack, which idk if I've ever had before. I do have both anxiety (undiagnosed but super obvious) and diagnosed high blood pressure that I'm on a low dose of meds for. I also have diagnosed subclinical hypothyroidism that I'm not yet on meds for, but my doctor floated my starting meds after my last lab results showed whatever's wrong with my thyroid has gotten much worse much faster since last year.

I take public transit, which around here stops running a bit after midnight and doesn't start again until around 5am. I definitely can't afford an ambulance and idk if my insurance would shell out. I feel okay now, but earlier I woke up feeling odd, went outside to check on my laundry in the dryer, felt worse, and actually collapsed into a big potted plant.

I didn't have chest pain at all, but I broke out in cold sweat and had ringing in my ears and was shaking and stumbling when I managed to get up, and super dry mouth, and felt vaguely numb all over.

I've had similar stuff happen a couple times before, but never actually fell down during it. I never went to the hospital or doctor for it, but the first time anything similar happened I was with a relative who was in the hospital, and I collapsed at the nurse station on my way back from the restroom. I left a huge puddle of sweat on the counter and when they got a blood pressure cuff on me, my blood pressure had tanked to 40; I ended up in the ER.

They said it was a sort of heart attack, but caused by stress/my not eating or drinking for a couple days; they loaded me down with juice boxes and crackers until I could pee in a cup, confirmed I wasn't pregnant or on drugs, and discharged me. That was almost a decade ago; I didn't start BP meds until this year.

I've eaten and slept and drank water, and don't (knock wood) have a dying loved one to worry about. I'm actually off work this week too so idk. Guess I'll take a shower, hope I don't die in my sleep, and call the nurse advice line in the morning.

I hope you're okay?! This is really concerning!

AYRT - thanks, I feel fine this morning. Idk, the one time I mentioned having intermittent stabby chest and shoulder pain, my doctor said I should switch purses, and, of course, lose weight *eyeroll*.

I'm on track to exceed 3,000 miles of walking this year, I've been vegetarian for 30+ years, and I've never drank, smoked, or taken recreational drugs, but I am fat and like to eat, so yeah. I don't know if I'll be taken seriously and medical stuff stresses me the fuck out. I kind of wish I could get prescribed Ozempic or similar drugs just so I could lose enough weight that doctors wouldn't automatically write me off as just fat. The last time I was underweight, I was an extremely premie baby and they threw a party every time I gained an ounce, lol.

I may make an appointment to get the thyroid stuff checked; if it's worse than 6 months ago I'll take the doc up on meds, and I'll mention collapsing. When I started the BP meds 6 months ago, I did have a week or so of feeling dizzy, shitty, and tired, but those are normal side effects. And now I crave salt like an ungulate, heh.

I feel bad for the potted shrub I landed in, I broke a bunch of branches on my way down. I'm lucky I didn't knock myself out.
