Unforgettable Yet Embarrassing Moment And Could Be A Serious One

Hey readers and friends,

Slight number of you might know that I went for a Muay Thai class yesterday morning at 10am. I was so excited the day before and kept on tweeting about it. For the people who knows me well, you should know that I love extreme sports and I love doing all these things. I decided to try muay thai for fitness reasons. I have promised that I will try to keep my body in shape before the holiday ends and I am trying really hard on it. Therefore, I signed up for this muay thai class and yesterday was the free trial class set up by one of the staffs there.

As I said, I was so excited because I love doing these things. I got up in the morning, prepared by breakfast (cereal and milk) and off I went to the center. As I got there the person asked me to sign up and so I did. I guess everything happens with a reason. The person asked me whether to go for the 6 months package or just the per month package. I am so so glad that I chose the per month package cause that made it seemed not-so-ambitious kinda thing. I also said something like this to the person, "I will take the per month package because I want to see how my commitment in this thing first". I am also glad that I said that to the person because of what happened next.

I started the training. It was fun! You know stretching and all. Star-jump and push-ups. That kinda thing. Once I stopped when the trainer gave us a few seconds of break I started to get ear-blocked and dizziness. My eyes started to see all blurred-out. I knew it was coming because I have had this a few times. I held myself and hoped for a longer time before I collapsed. Unfortunately, I can't hold it anymore and so I told the trainer that everything seemed blur to me and I wanted to sit down. I sat down for a few minutes and I went inside the toilet. The last thing I could remember when I was in the toilet was that I looked at myself in the mirror and I said "Shit!".

When I opened my eyes moments later, I was outside the toilet beside the big mirror my hand on a big plastic vase. I could not remember anything that happened in the toilet. I don't know how I got there in the first place. I don't even remember walking out from the toilet. Seriously, I could not remember anything after I said 'Shit!'. It was awful and I knew that I collapsed in front of everybody. But, of course, the trainer kept on the training but a few staffs bought me a Milo and gave me some medication. They laid me down and comfort me and all. I was so so so 200% embarrassed because the people were the people I don't even know and it was my first time there and it happened just like that!

I could not control it so I had to just let it go and do its thing. I can't control my body at that time and so I let go. That was why I collapsed. Some of you might know the fact that I have had such an incident a few times before while exercising. Twice or three times I could not remember. That was just while exercising how about right after I got up from bed. Quite a few times too. The ones after bed were the odd ones. I don't even know the reason. And so, at that moment in the center I thought I might have some medical condition and I think it can be serious if I did not make a medical check-up as soon as possible.

I got back home and told my mum. Of course, she freaked out. I sent her to work because I insisted but she called my dad to come back early so he can take me to the doctor. So I did. Went for medical check-up. Took blood test, urine test, ECG and of course doctor's consultation. I can say the ECG process was EMBARRASSING! I had to lift up my bra and let it bare just like that while the nurse attaching the wires on my chest. It was horrible and embarrassing! Gosh! I don't even know how to describe it. The other tests were fine because I have done it before but not ECG. That was the first time. I had to wait for the results. As I was walking and taking the blood test, the person there asked me whether I am going to be admitted in the ward and I said NO, of course. The same goes to the person we were paying the bills to. She thought I will be admitted to the ward too. I wondered why people would asked such a thing. I asked them why were they thinking that I was going to be admitted and they did not answer me. It was awkward!

Next, I went in for consultation for the second time after all the results were done. It was a hell of a moment. Its like I was waiting for the news that I am going to die. It was that horrifying. It turned out to be NOT-THAT-BAD results. It was not great but good. My ECG test was fine and the doctor said I have a nice heart rate and my heart beats are constant. First point, pheww. Moved on to my blood test. There was some infection but that was because of my period that I had and finished two days ago. So, its because of my menstrual cycle. Other than that, they were good. My urine test was the same too. So, it was a breeze for the doctor to deliver the results.

However, what I was wondering was the way the doctor asked me those questions and she kept on mentioning a CT Scan. A CT Scan is for the brain. Its an XRAYS for the brain to see if there is anything wrong with your brain. She even did a simple test like in the story 'One Litre Of Tears' the you-touch-your-nose-then-touch-my-finger test. Yeah! I did that. She kept on mentioning the scan but did not encourage it because it seems that the test has more than 30% of radiation compared to a normal x-rays. Plus, I am still young. Do you know how young the doctor thought I was? She thought I am 16 years old! LOL! I told her that that is definitely a huge compliment. She said I looked young! LOL! Funny yet TRUE! LOL. Well, moving on. As I said, she kept on mentioning a CT Scan and I can sense that she might have suspected something about my brain.

After this, she asked me to keep on track when the symptoms come. Symptoms like a headache, nausea without reasons, vomiting without reasons, numbness and etc. So, I am looking out and being careful about all the scans. She said, if something were to be wrong I should come back and meet the specialist to see my actual results and to do another test and probably the CT Scan if it is necessary at the time.

I really really hope that there is nothing wrong with me as I am still young and have nothing yet. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A BOYFRIEND yet for God's SAKE! LOL! Just kidding!

So, praying hard and hopefully it will not happen again and the symptoms won't come around.

Love with heart,

MARL!
