Ever get a wake up call and say to yourself.. That was a close one!?
2 days ago i was moving houses (Started Saturday Morning) apart from the usual stress's that house moving creates we we're actually getting everything packed and moved with no hassles at all. Weather was absolutely spot on for us and we managed to get a few extra hands. No hassles....... Until...
I was standing and a friend of mine spoke to me and my return comment just came out a jumble'd mess. Completely slurred. At first i was like. What was that to myself? So within 5 seconds this overpowering feeling took over my full left side of my body. The worst feeling i have ever had in my life. I looked at my friend and he knew straight away something was up. I says something bad is happening and i felt like i was about to pass out and a few of them caught onto me and i managed to lay down. The full left side of me was numb/tingling. My left vision was a cloud. This started to ease and i could get onto my feet. I went inside and he says.. Right car you need to get to A&E.
Within 15 minutes i was hooked up to all these machines and monitors. I was like jeez what's going on
About an hour after tests a Doctor came in and says you have had what is called a TIA. He says it is very similar to a stroke and that you had a temporary blockage of blood to your brain He says they happen very quick and then you get an aftermath effect for up to 24 hours. Which i did all of yesterday. Just noticed my left side didn't feel 100%.
To sum it all up. I have a follow up this week to find out where the problem originated from and to hopefully get it resolved and it to never happen again. I have to take blood thinners for a few weeks until i get a Doctors advice on how to prevent any future ones.
Very scary/horrible feeling. I have never felt anything like that in my life. Just shows that we never know what's happening within our body's and if any problems are brewing. It's made me scared of it happening again.
Just wondered if i should be changing my diet and or to use natural blood thinners as part of a daily routine? I know Omega 3 fats can help with this.
I am relatively fit.. Say around 10-12% bodyfat. Very active. Lift weights 3-4 times a week and my diet is well balanced.
Anything else i could add to my daily life? After experiencing that i would happily make my lifestyle based around keeping in good health.
Honestly if you keep good health then do everything you can to remain this way. That was a very scary experience and just made me realise that i ain't invincible.
Any advice guys on what to do? I will ask the consultant on Thursday also.
Thanks!
