Nearly Fainted

I had a bad tummy cramp since yesterday, it seems to be a pulling effect. My back was aching too and I'm also running a fever. I went to see the doctor this morning, which the clinic is located within walking distance from my house. I was diagnosed for stomach flu and was given a day medical leave (MC).

Afterwhich I made my way down to the Econ minimart to get a sack of 2.5kg rice plus my favourite drink Ribena Spakling with lemon. As I was leaving the minimart, I had this blackout feeling and I can't hear anything from the surrounding. Oh no... I told myself, don't faint you must quickly make your way up to the clinic again. I struggle my way back to the clinic at the second floor and told the nurse at the counter that I felt giddy. She informed the doctor and told me that the doc will come out and examine me after seeing his patients. I breath very very hard, both my hands and lips are numb, hands cramped till I can't even move at all. I was so scared; 'I don't want to get stroke at this young age'.

After about half an hour the numbness & cramped slowly went off and the nurse made me a cup of milo. I was called into the room to see the doctor, he took my blood pressure again and said that is normal. He asked if I had my breakfast? No! I replied. He said that could me the reason as there's a drop in sugar level, another reason could also be the virus in my body. Wah! The virus in my body are damn strong lor! I rather believe that it was the drop of sugar level.

I met this kind lady called Fatimah (she looked like a chinese) at the clinic who had offer to send me home, she was there to see the doctor too. She waited for me to finish seeing the doctor and got my prescription. We took a cab back, a short distance ride from the clinic. Fatimah wanted to pay for the cab but I insisted to return her the money. There are still kind people around us when you are in need.

What a dramatic & exciting day! Thank god that I didn't faint on the road while crossing and also lucky to have met a kind soul like Fatimah.
