Caught Off Guard

I caught off guard this morning by sudden dizziness. I woke up around 6am (EST), went to the gym in the hotel, and realized I was sweating on the stationary bike, which was supposed to be my warm-up, only after 5 minutes into it. Then I realized I was having cold sweat, sat on the couch for 5-10 minutes, and staggered back to my room. Did I eat too much last night? Is this food poisoning? Many questions quickly went through my mind. Yet no GI symptoms appeared except for mild nausea, which could be just secondary to dizziness. I so much wanted to attend today's seminars! After realizing this could be another episode of Menier Syndrome, I asked my student to go to CVS and get Meclizine, which worked like a charm. I was able to stand and walk again after 30 minutes. After a quick shower, I was able to attend the afternoon seminars - thank goodness! At Halloween at the fellowship, I visited a "fortune teller" booth. I was told that emotion makes decision for me, and I tend to do a lot more than I can handle. And I tend to lose balance because of this. But since I am "strong" (not sure if emotionally or physically), I finish them anyways. I need to take care of myself, not to lose balance. So I guess that is what happened this time. The funny part is: I am strong per fortune teller. I rarely call in sick for sure, but am I really strong!?! Spending all morning in bed today was NOT fun. Fighting with dizziness all morning was NOT fun. What triggered it this time (last episode was January 2001)? Keeping my fingers crossed for not having dizziness tomorrow morning.....
