I'm just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone.

Yesterday, while I was at work, I almost fainted. I was sitting at my desk and suddenly started getting very hot and dizzy. Then it was like I couldn't catch my breath and I started hyperventolating. So I took a little walk to the lunch room for some ice water hoping that would help me. It actually made it worse. I started hyperventolating more. So I asked to go home. I didn't even make it out to my car before I realized I was going to pass out. So I told the receptionist there and she called 911.

The doctors at the emergency room did all sorts of tests. They even xrayd my chest because one lung felt a little tight. Nothing wrong other than a low white blood cell count. I've been sick off and on for the last couple of weeks.

Needless to say this really freaked me out and I almost wonder if it was some sort of weird panic attack (I was stressed yesterday but not that stressed) or could be related to having low blood pressure (some doctors who've taken my pressure has said it was low). I'm also embarassed that this happened at work and that I had to be wheeled out on a stretcher in front of all my coworkers (yeah, I realize that's stupid). I'm in perfect health, exercise but I do admit my diet could be a little better. I wonder if it could have been food related since I had a capuccino and a pastry for breakfast and more carbs and caffeine later in the day in the form of green tea and spaghetti. I'm going to follow up with another doctor appointment next week. I took today off from work to relax and sort myself out.

So anyways, what are your thoughts?
