WHOA! I just hit the deck during chest pt!

[scanboyd]

I have blinked out (2-3 times) for a few seconds while hard coughing. Some what of a scary situtation. I know my limits now and stop coughing for a few seconds and let my body recompose then resume my coughing. I think what happens is you drop your blood pressure, a vagal response to the coughing.

<br />mamaScarlet you be careful with the gift that God has given you!! Take care!! How far along are you?

I only have a few wks to go. Yes, I called the cf doc so waiting to talk to them. The babys moving plenty so im not too worried, but I think this week I just did way too much. Too many outings, way too much physical work at home (thanku crazy nesting). A good wakeup call to remind me to rest...we'll see what the docs say.

Wow, scary :-( I always got "head rushes" in the morning when I was pregnant from low bp, but never passed out!

I am glad you are feeling okay and the baby is moving tons. You are in the home stretch...best wishes!!

thanks alot for all the kind words.
So I saw the docs, yes it was a Valsalva. (sudden drop in blood pressure, not enough oxygen to the brain and...bam)
The long and short is that 1. bc I know I won't be able to give my all to chest pt for a little while after baby, I've been pushing myself during chest pt way too hard now. 2. and I'm doing too much! Laying down with my feet up??!-uh, never. So I'm ordered to do so for at least 2 hrs a day here on out.
You kind of get into supermom mode, thanks to these insane hormones, and start thinking you really can do it all. Well, I guess it took passing out to remind me I really am a human being.
