I’ve been sick w/the flu all week. It really kicked my ass on Mon-Wed. Anyway, yesterday afternoon I started to feel nauseous and thought I was going to throw up. So I went to the bathroom and positioned myself over the bowl ready to hurl. The nausea went away but all the sudden I got this really strange feeling that I’ve NEVER had before. My whole body got weak, I got cold and clammy, my skin felt tingly, and I almost felt as if I was having and out of body exerience. I looked at myself in the mirror it was like looking at somebody in a dream. I literally felt the blood drain from my head and literally was almost as white as a sheet, even my lips. I got really scared after about thirty seconds when it didn’t go away and only seemed to intensify which is what really scared me because I was afraid of what the climax might mean. I figured I was having a heart attack or stroke because I’d read that many people have heart attacks/strokes and don’t even know it because they think it’s heartburn or indigestion. I didn’t even have enough presence of mind to call for my wife. I started praying “God, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. Please don’t let me die.” I really thought I might be dying right here in my bathroom. At least i wasn’t like Elvis and taking a dump. I was so scared I couldn’t even cry. It was really weird. Then after a few more seconds it started to go away and I called my wife. I was lying on the couch when she came and and when she saw me she started freaking out because I was so pale. She said I looked dead. She ran to call the ambulance but I stopped her. Within an hour I felt back to normal and felt strong enough to got to school last night. But it was really, really weird. I think that maybe the flu meds I’m taking w/my heart meds didn’t agree w/each other and that maybe I didn’t have enough food in my stomach when I took them and it caused a sudden drop in my blood pressure. That’s what it felt like. But I’ve never had it happen so suddenly like that.
