Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMy boyfriend had a scary medical thing today.
We thought it might be a heart attack but it turned out to be a "pre-syncopal attack" and we had to go and look it up...
He's feeling silly and fed up.

OP
I have latent clonic-tonic seizures. The only warning I get is from our sheltie. She just knows.

He's decided he needs more exercise, which I've been telling him for years.

I thought I was dying once, and had a "simple" anxiety attack.
But really-I thought I was flickering out of existence-not cool.

Other than that, I just wake up in the hospital a few days later with no clue what has happened - and it takes a few days to snap out of it - and that's after I wake up. His condition is different in most ways but similar in the results. It's still really freaky. They've got medications for both, but please encourage him to see the appropriate specialists on the matter. And you hang in there!
