Story The morning I thought I was about to die

[Justanotherbloke]

It was 5 years ago, an event so terrifying that I thought 'this is it, I am dying'.

Matter of fact: I went downstairs, but the moment I felt I was dying > I walked back upstairs to not 'die' in front of my parents.


1. After waking up, I stood up and put on my clothes to walk downstairs.
I immediately noticed that my breathing became more shallow, it felt unsettling to me but I didn't think much of it.

2. The breathing became more shallow, so I opened my window to get more air and I hung out of the window.

3. I walked down the stairs to the living room. While doing so, my breathing felt like Air hunger.

4. Arriving downstairs, My vision changed to purple / black and I felt myself becoming very pale.

5. I walked back upstairs.

6. I could not controll my body anymore, My legs felt heavy and I fell a couple of staircases down.

7. I walked to the window I opened upstairs to get more air,

8. I fainted, thought I was dying and crashed with my entire body into a bookshelf.





I don't know why this happened to me, or what it is.
I have no medical history, I am on the Leaner / naturally Slimmer side, Eat non processed and healthy food and Run a lot.
Till this day, it remains a mystery to me.

It could be a stroke, or you might just be sleep-deprived.

Then it was a stroke cause I was NOT sleep deprived.
Eerie to think that I could have ended up dead?

Probably not, I've seen many people in my family have strokes, but I haven't seen anyone die suddenly from a stroke.

I felt like dying, literally.
If you would have been in my shoes you'd probably think you'd die, I walked upstairs cause I didn't want to die in front of my parents.
The explanation feels different than what I experienced, but I hope it was just lack of oxygen cause Of waking up or something
