loss of consciousness

[emontes]

I lost conscienciousness and blacked out for about 3 minutes. I am 52 year old female smoker with severe back pain.  I had extrememly laboured breathing and loud ringing in my left ear.  I awoke and didn't know ehre I was and I could not recognize that the sound I was hearing was actually my own laboured breathing.  My back/lungs felt tight.  I had to loosen my bra.

I don't mean to frighten you, but you need to see your doctor ASAP. I mean as in call him/her right NOW and explain what happened. Please do not put this off.
Let us know what they say, OK?

I completely agree with Greenlydia. Get to the hospital right now. What happened to you could have been a possible stroke or heart attack. Don't take any chances with your health. Please let us know what you find out.

Thank you so much for your concerns. I will keep you posted.  I have an urgent care appointment this afternoon.    I called my primary care physician and the woman who I asked to schedule an appointment told me that it didn't sound like a stroke or heart attack to her.  I have an urgent care appointment today for a second opinion.

Thank you so much.

We all wish you the best of luck with hopes that this episode was just some possible low sugar crash and you'll be right as rain soon.
Please let us know what they say, OK?
Be strong and positive
Peace

Yes, please let us know what they say. Greenlydia is right. It could be your blood sugar. You should ask to have it tested.
