About a week ago, most of the studio staff and I were working a debutante ball when I got extremely dizzy, pale, eyes dialated 100%, white out vision (almost blind) with magenta and yellow splotches, and sweating like a pig. All the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Scared the crap out of everybody. 911 was called and I got my first ride in an ambulance with lights and siren.
Many tests later, ekg, echo cardiogram, carotid doppler, mri and mra, the doctors determined that my heart is ok, my arteries in neck and brain are ok, I am ok. By the way, you do NOT want to go through an mri or mra of the head unless you are full of happy juice. It was the most panic provoking experience I have ever been subjected to.
Aparently, a spike in blood preassure, scared my brain into telling the heart to cool it. My heart cooled it and the blood pressure went through the floor, triggering an optic migrain (funky vision, no pain). May, may not happen again. Not dangerous unless I am driving.

Glad you are well and it wasn't your heart. Take care of that BP we wouldn't want to lose you.

OMG Travis I am so glad that you are fine, that nothing too serious was wrong. Just have to be careful and not get too excited the next time you do one of those debutante balls -- just joking -- I know how scared it must have been until the final verdict -- glad you are okay -- just get you BP under control - Okay
