A funny thing happened today. I fainted today and my kids had written me off.
1700 hrs: Got up and went to toilet at approx 1715 hrs. Luckily left the door unlocked.
The moment I sat down in the toilet, i blanked out. The next thing i could remember was my wife calling me. I opened my eyes to see my wife and a whole lot of neighbours. Events as explained by them:
·I had taken a very long deep breadth with lots of noise.
·My wife heard it from outside and rushed in. I had fainted on the potty seat. Luckily I had fallen on the side and was lying on the wash basin. A fall in the front would have undone the whole surgery efforts.
·I did not respned for the next 30 minutes with people pouring water on me and banging on my chest…. My eyes and mouth were dead open. There was no sweatness and my body had turned ice cold.
·Finally, I woke up and was immediately able to get up and walk back to bed.
·No abnormal behaviour noted in ECG. Blood sugar was normal. BP was low at 100/80.
Not sure what had happened. But, looks like i had a miraculous escape.
Lessons learned: No self medication, leave the bathroom doors unlocked and have someone always nearby.
