I Was At Wal-Mart This Evening And Picking Up Ice-cream.

I was at Wal-Mart this evening and picking up ice-cream. While checking out, I felt the urge to go to the bathroom for a bowel movement. I just started having a mild aura-type feeling and asked the clerk to watch my items. My almost 92 year old father was waiting in the car (he is not senile). I started feeling a lot of head pressure and felt extremely excited (also worrying about if my Dad should be feeling the need to go also for a BM, what would he do). I started feeling like something was going to happen to me. When finished, I looked in the mirror, and as I expected my face & neck were extremely red. My eyes were both watery and red. I have never had that feeling before. My medical conditions are: Occipital myalgia, cervicle myalgis, 3 mm nodule in the brain where the carodid artery and the main artery meet on my left side (I get a MRI/MRA every two years). I have had a false/positive EGD years ago, but on the most recent stress, there was something that was not exactly right. The Cardiologist did not feel a heart cath was needed at this time since I was so active and my labs were good. Last fall I had 12 or 13 episodes of pain over my heart and went to the
ER. The ER physician felt the pain was caused by GERD. This year I had both a colonoscopy & endoscopy. Schatzki Ring was found and the MD dilated it. I am 69 1/2 year old female. On one occasion of an EEG was abnormal, but repeated with sleep deprivation, it was normal. I have familial hyperlipedia, for which am being treated for. I was diagnosed as high risk for hypothyroidism when I agreed to be a normal patient study person at the University of KY MedicaL Center where I was employed. I am also high risk for stroke (mother died of intraparenchmal brain hemorrage and my Father had CABG X4 in 2005, and my Brother had emergency CABG 4-5 years ago. I have just been reading about the Vagus nerve. My mother proved positive for VasoVagel Syncopy by the tilt table test a few years before she died. Thank you for reading this lengthy summary. If you have any advice I would appreciate it. (NEH)
