the other night I was woke up by my boyfriend who had a accident at his work, screaming my name because he was in pain. I was dead asleep when he called my name,but knew why he yelled. I went to get his pain meds to ease the pain and i felt fine just a little tired. As a couple mins came on, I felt extremely sick to my stomach as if i had to throw up. I ran to the bathroom and did not throw up. I did have a bowel movement, and i looked into the mirror and my face was white as a ghost. My face and throat felt as if it was ice and I could feel the heat off my body on my neck. I made my way back to the bedroom to him but I blacked out and collaspe because I couldn't hold myself up. I laid there for a little bit and finally crawled my way to the beside. I couldn't lift him up to even get him to sit up due to his fractured pelvis. I was shakey and it seemed to feel better if I was sitting down or laying down. It scared me half to death, I have never had this feeling ever in my life and i'm only 20. Could this just be from all the stress over the accident or something more?

Dear redose20,
How awful for you. I'm with Pledge... I'm not a doctor either... but if this happens again you need to go to the doctor. Might not be a bad idea to go get checked anyways. Could be too much stress or anxiety. I don't know what all is going on in you're life, but I hate that this happened to you. Keep an eye on yourself and take care. By the way, Love your name. Best wishes. Ruth
I am 42 & have an anxiety disorder & seizure disorder as well as other disorders! They are well under control by meds now but the blackout you described reminded me of my seizures... a combination of 3 things would seem to occur every time just prior to me having one... I'm under way too much stress, extremely over tired & then am instantly brought to anger or extreme panic & boom, seizure!! They are very scary, especially if you come out of one & are alone! Do you remember waking up confused?? Talk with your doctor at your next visit... it couldn't hurt... best wishes for you & your boyfriend!!
