After forcing myself to come up with some kind of new year resolution, here I wrote about my step towards a pinch of recreation.. and trying to be fit as some may call.. after very random times a week, i'm still hanging in there in the loop and dragging myself to the rec centre.. regardless of the fact that the fitness-fairy is looking at me or not..
anyhoo.. out of the norms I thought I should go for a swim on a Saturday morning. quite chilly outside but meh, who cares.. I go for a swim.. swim more than I would on a weekday, jump in the hot tub for a little longer than usual as well (rather 8-10mins), and off I go for a shower.. While in the shower I felt light headed but didn't really care. Went to the locker room and start getting dressed.. i start blacking out.. things were becoming unclear and was becoming grey.. I knew it was bad news, I came out of the changing room and dragged myself to the benches near the lockers where more people would hang out.. unconsiously sit/lie down on a bench.. asking some lady for help..
creepyness..
I didn't completely pass out.. I was aware of everything happening around me.. by the time the first-aid girl came running I was getting back to normal.. low blood sugar may be she said?:S and gave me some gatorade sorta drink.. may be I didn't cool off the hot-tub effect.. luckily I didn't have to drive back home..
quite eventful and scary at the same time..
Hope youre ok now. thats a way way scary thing to happen... ughhh not fun, that blacking out sensation :\
ReplyDeletethe long swim coupled with the hot tub stay may have made you woozy. especially if you hadn't eaten before hand. i feel the same after coming back from the gym and taking an extra long, extra hot shower. just a dazed, light-headed feeling. i've never blacked out though, hope you're ok!
ReplyDeletelow blood sugar is known to give that light headed woozy kind of feeling. blacking out...i did when i was around 10 and man, it's no fun waking up to see countless faces peeking at you, saying nonsense like "is he alive?" needless to say, i stood up, and fainted.again.on the spot. :s
ReplyDeletedili: yes it was scary, and i'm okay now. thank you =)
ReplyDeletet: yep I think I worked out too much that day, + the instant hot/cold change affected too i think.
incognito: hilarious. luckily there was only one lady peeking at me saying 'do you hear me?'
