Julie's life is in danger
This morning (Wed), i fainted. Or almost fainted. I think my life is messed up or dying out soon.
The night before I worked in office til 10pm and at that time my stomach seemed to have some weird pain... like contracting or biting. But i did eat some food for dinner though. Some bopiah. Anyway after i reached home, i ate more food in case it is gastric. I dun have gastric before ok... but juz in case. It got abit better, and later I turned in to sleep. This morning when I woke up, there's slight pain still but I juz continued doing my stuff. Later it started to get worse and making me feel like throwing up but i have nothing to throw up of cos. So I began to worry and decided to eat some thing for breakfast. By the time I hurried to the kitchen, before i could take my food, the pain got so bad that i began to clutch my body in pain. I suddenly broke out in sweat, sweating so profusely as though drenched under heavy drizzle; as though suddenly all water in my body burst out from my cells and organs. And I began to see stars and more tiny stars, like the noise effect u get when ur ancient television couldnt get any reception for ur channel. I was so dizzy that I couldnt see what is going ard me. I tried to make my way to the toilet after putting down a piece of cake which i couldnt have the energy to bite. I tot probably it is some stomache so I wanna try to see if i can stop the pain by clearing my bowels. But it didnt really work. In the end, I came out to drink some bittermint chinese medicine and went to sofa to lie down and sleep. The whole episode was blurry and shocking. About an hour later, which is 9am, I woke up and things feel better. I called up my fren to tell the teamleader tt i gonna be late.
It's so embarrassing, cos no one can ever imagine someone to faint after a late night work. They would think i am weak and sickly, and couldnt withstand much work.... urgh. Anyway i spent most of the day having queasy feeling at my stomach still and a dizzy head. No energy to walk too. Tonight, I was working late in office again, leaving office at abt 11:30pm, much later than the previous night. ailing worked as late as me too~ and we shared a taxi home and the fares can be claimed later next month. I cant imagine walking home in my conditions.
I prayed and hoped I wont have the same thing happening again for tml's morning. I still need to hand in the report!!
can u take leave and look after your own health?
It is not about how others think that u are weak. It is that nothing can buy back your health if u are not gonna to take care of it now.
And u haven't even start ur actual career~!!!
Why would people think you're weak? We've all been sick before. Anyway, I'll suggest you go see a doctor. Sounds pretty serious. Don't look like gastric to me.
haiz... can u dun do this to urself?? take better care of urself lar... Dun act strong... See a doctor if u have to...
