I had a blackout.

I'd just got out the bath when I started feeling really sick. So I was standing over the toilet, trying to wrench, when suddenly I lost all power in my body and had to sit on the side of the bath.

That's the last thing I remember before I woke up in the bottom of the bath. Luckily I'd already drained the water, otherwise, well - y'know...

So I staggered out the bathroom, soaking wet and in a towel and collapsed again on my bed. It really shook me up - nothing like that has ever happened before. I told my Dad when I'd got over the worst of it and he called the hospital...who sent and ambulance - flashing lights and everything! I wasn't even feeling that bad at this point, but I wasn't sure if it was a blackout or a fit. I felt my head and legs swinging about uncontrolably as I came to, so for all I know I'd gone all Deacon on your bootys.

Anyway, hospital said it was a "Simple Faint". i.e, I was a pansy who got up too quickly. Really chuffing scary though.

Yeah.

It sucks though. I'm a perfectly healthy 21 year old male. 6'2", 11.5 stone, athletic (if geeky) build, no health problems, allergies or history of illness, blood pressure and blood-oxygen levels are spot-on. But if I get up too quickly from a hot bath - WHAM! - it hits me. Could happen to anyone, I suppose.
