Thread Name: BS: Fainting
Subject: RE: BS: Fainting
Ok, really weird one: Eating very hot (spicy and temperature) soup, I swallowed a mouthful that was way too hot to swallow, and as the pain in my chest got worse I started feeling light-headed but didn't recognize that I was fainting (it had been a *long* time) from not breathing from how much my chest hurt, until I was lying on the dining room floor with my kid's voice saying Do I call 9-11? and one leg up on the chair, which I thought was a good idea so after saying No, I'll be OK, I put my other leg up on the chair which was apparently the first sign of life I'd shown so far other than some vague grunting. And I spilled all the wonderful soup (without burning anybody) and dropped the Joy Of Cooking on my face, also unnoticed. Never even heard of such a thing!
