Melodrama

Following my latest fit, I have to go for some blood tests on Wednesday. It is naturally weighing on my mind a bit. I think I know what happened. I've just found the following description on-line, and it is word for word what I was told had happened.

Tonic seizures

During a tonic seizure, the person’s muscles initially stiffen and they lose consciousness. The person’s eyes roll back into their head as the muscles (including those in the chest, arms and legs) contract and the back arches. As the chest muscles tighten, it becomes harder for the person to breathe – the lips and face may take on a bluish hue, and the person may begin to make gargling noises. 

Ah well, I hope they can finally get it sorted out for me.
