Lost consciousness at 6 am when got up to use bathroom. Hit my head on the edge of the windowsill and then the toilet paper metal roll holder on my way down requiring 3 stitches and tho its hard to see in pic i have a small egg sized lump thats pretty impressive in person. Doc said i needed stitches and i was surprised. Split wide open. Happened 2 more times (once while getting off the ct post ct). So here’s the update. 2 ct scans with contrast (one for brain one for chest) one mri for brain it has been determined that I DO have a brain. But no evidence of stroke or tumor. Best guess after 8 hours in the hospital and bloodwork etc is that the adrenal failure ive been in for past couple of years may possibly be the culprit. In other words, they have no idea what caused it. Weirdest thing is that the 2nd time i was on my hands and knees because i was afraid to stand up (prior to going to hospital) and just sort of fell over to my right and couldnt move. Felt so odd to not trust nor be in control of my body. So no walking today and now im afraid it will happen again. Zero warning. No dizziness, no black spots. Post faint tho extremely nauseated and loads of vertigo which is ongoing. Gave iv med for nausea which worked. Good news is that all my labs came back 100%. Another day in the life. Could definitely have been worse. Was very frightening. Especially laying in bed and seeing the room spin.

Oh my goodness how terrifying! So if the adrenal glands are possibly the problem is there something that can be done if they have no clue why? That is discouraging and frustrating! Sending prayers for an answer and no more episodes.

Oh no. That is scary. I wouldn't drive. Also, maybe stay away from free weights until they figure it out. Be careful.

You said you have vertigo. Did they check your ears?? You may have caught a viral ear infection??

YOH, did they check you for postural hypotension? I had that plus a dose of vertigo a few months following my bowel perforation surgery in 2010. Come to find out it was an issue with the crystals in my ears that created the vertigo, and the sudden drop in Blood pressure when I went from laying down or sitting to standing resolved it's self after a time...I do however pause for a moment when getting out of bed or standing from a seated position...just a pause to see if anything is going on prior to forward movement. It is scary as hell, I hope they find resolve it soon!
