    Passing out and stopped breathing/whole body numbness
    I was in the shower and got really dizzy told my boyfriend I was and he wrapped my arms around him then I passed out. While I was out my eyes were wide open and my pupils were about as big as my eye. I then stopped breathing for 2 or 3 min and then he finally got me to wake up. I still felt dizzy and my ears were ringing and eyes a little blurry. It was a little hard to breath after that for about 2 hours.

    You need to see a Physician. It is dangerous and foolish to diagnose over the Internet.

    The circumstances/symptoms you mention are quite serious. Assuming that the above occurred without emergency medical intervention, diagnosis becomes more complicated and, as noted by JudyKT above, ranges well beyond any opinion available via internet.

    Regardless of your present condition the events as related foregoing require an immediate and thorough medical evaluation.

    If you went to any medical doctor and provided the information as above and they failed to take affirmative action... you are correct in not liking them. You and I must be missing something here?

    You should have been rushed to the hospital minutes after it happened, if you really stopped breathing for 3 minutes there can be serious damage.

    How did your boyfriend get you to start breathing, did he do mouth to mouth or what ?

    And yes I actually went to the ER and all they did was give me meds for my headache that I had and the nausea. I am still light headed and still have the headache. Me and my boyfriend are starting to think it might have something to do with my heart or brain.

    I would assume that they did not believe you, since if you had actually stopped breathing, you don't normally just start again after several minutes, and would normally have brain damage if you did.

    But it is very easy, go to another doctor, I have a wonderful doctor if I want my meds refiled, but I have several others if I actually have things wrong
