Dizziness & blanking out
Hi all, I’ve had severe EPI since 2019. 49M. I’ve been doing mainly well past couple of years. Just on Creon. Exercising a lot. Work full time. But strangest thing happened last night. Felt dizzy after rushing about a bit to get groceries before supermarket closed at 10pm. Got home and felt really off. My partner was out. Felt dizzy and tingling on face. Lied on sofa, then made it to bedroom to lie down. Called partner to say I wasn’t well, he came home and I asked for ambulance. He was a bit drunk so asked two girls upstairs to help. This is where things get blurry for me. Paramedics came and checked everything, and all seemed ok according to them. I was just coming in and out of consciousness. Think they thought I had some drug or something, which I didn’t.
Anyway, just posting here as wondering did anyone else have episode like this? I’ve been ok ish today but still can’t make sense of situation. My heart rate went to 170 during light walk earlier so clearly my system is a bit off. But obviously paramedics were not that concerned as they didn’t bring me to hospital. Anyway, I’m wondering of vitamin/mineral deficiency or dehydration or high/low blood sugar? I will contact my GP on Monday but I’m a bit freaked out. Could it be start of diabetes 3c? But my blood sugar previously has always been fine. Perhaps I overdid on exercise recently? Thanks for any thoughts.
