THIS IS THE 2ND ATTACK IN 40 DAYS AND ITS NOT GETTING ANY BETTER EACH TIME ITS APPEARS WITH DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS. THE FIRST ATTACK I HAD SEVERE STOMACH PAINS THAT MADE ME DOUBLE UP ACCOMPINED WITH ICE COLD SWEETS, DIZZYNESS, FEELING OF A B.D, NAUSIA AND SEVERE LEG PAINS THAT I COULD HARDLY WALK. I WAS TAKEN FROM WORK TO THE HOSPITAL AND THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME A DIAGNOSIS. THE SECOND ATTACK I WAS IN BED FAST A SLEEP AND WAS AWOKEN WITH SEVER LEG AND ARM PAINS FELT LIKE I HAD A STROKE I COULD HARDLY WALK. THEN CAME THE ICE COLD SWEETS, B.M. AND THEN I PASSED OUT WITHOUT REALIZING WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN I AWOKE I WAS BLEEDING SEVERLY FROM MY NOSE AND FACE I GUESS THATS WHERE I GOT HIT THE HARDEST. WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR SAID IT WAS VASO VAGAL. NEVER TOLD ME WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT OR ANYTHING ELSE. CAN SOME ONE ADVISE ME OF THE EXPERIANCE AND WHAT DOCTORS SAID TO YOU TO DO?
