So, I passed out on the subway this morning UPDATE p 3

It was the worst thing ever!!! All of the sudden, I just felt totally out of it and I could feel my knees buckling under me. Some guy got up and put me in his seat and another woman took her bottle of water and kept washing my face with it. It was so embarrassing And, I still don't know why it happened!!!

This better not happen on Sunday

Re: So, I passed out on the subway this morning

are you feeling any better?
Maybe it was because you hadn't eaten anything yet?

Hope you are ok!

Give your doc a call. It may be a simple as low blood sugar or dehydration. Simple urine and blood test will help figure it out. Go eat something and get some juice into you. It would also be the stress of everything catching up with you. Good luck and let us know how you feel later.

Re: So, I passed out on the subway this morning

This happened to me one time on the LIRR. Wound up i had not eaten anything and took a cold pill in the morning which dropped my blood sugar. Got off the train, barely made it up the stair and tried to make it to the police booth and passed out. They had to wheel me into the medical station...so embarassing. I was fine and went to work...but then my Mom (who is a Nurse) told me the cause was probably not eating and taking the cold pill before going into the city and the fact i had to stand on the train the whole way in. It was scary...I hope you are feeling better.

Please take care of yourself. Make sure that you are eating and drinking enough fluids.

Thanks everyone. I just went to the deli and got a big thing of oj and eggs and cheese on a roll for protein. I didn't take anything this morning and I normally have my oatmeal when I get in here. I think calling the doctor isn't such a bad idea - could you imagine this happening halfway down the aisle?!?!

I'm glad you're okay now - that's really scary!

I know you take the same train route in as me..my R train detoured b/c of a sick passenger on the train in front of us...that wasn't you, was it?

Oh god, no - it wasn't that bad!! I'm on the F so I would have screwed up an entirely different set of passengers anyway

Update: Just made a doctor's appt for today at 4. I'll let you guys know what happens. Thanks for all the well-wishes

i hope you are feeling better!

If it makes you feel any better, the same thing happened to me a couple of weeks before my wedding. I was reading a book, and wasn't feeling 'the best', then the next thing i know i'm feeling fuzzy all over, and i woke up and people were staring at me (luckily I was sitting)!

Try to make sure you get a seat on the subway the rest of the week if you can!

and the OJ should help, and make sure you eat and drink lots of water :)
