What just happened?
Discussion
Hi all
I'm a reasonably fit person, 33 years old, non-smoker and social drinker.
I had a bowl of porridge and a banana for breakfast at 9am, and I've just been to the gym. I did 20 mins pretty hard cardio and then some reasonable weights, then went to the supermarket in my gym gear. I felt fine after the gym, obviously hot and sweaty but otherwise fine. I drank around 400ml of water.
Anyway, in the supermarket I got annoyed because they had no Allspice (I need it today), and started to feel very feint and my throat started to dry up, I thought I was going to pass out. My head told me I needed to swallow, but I couldn't, as much as I tried! Horrible feeling. I made my way to the self-service checkout, paid for my goods, and remembered I had some more water in my rucksack. So I had a gulp of that, and by the time I was back at my car I felt loads better. And I'm normal now.
I've had a quick Google and it's suggested it might be a stress/panic attack thing. I am a bit stressed at the moment (no work, wedding next year), but don't generally show it. And to be honest, I was sweating and probably felt a bit self-conscious.
Any ideas? Throat AIDS?

Stress can show its self in strange ways.
I knew a 12 year old who went bald.
Anyway, best to see a doctor if it happens again. Online diagnosis is s

Cheers Frankeh. I've already got an appointment at the hospital for an endoscopy (bad heartburn for ages), that Dr thinks could be an ulcer (great).I knew a 12 year old who went bald.
