Couldn't hurt to call 911 for medical advice.

Or aren't you a college student? Call your nurses advice line.

Call 911 when you go unconscious, that's what I do. No need to bother them unless it's a true emergency.

I've had many of them. The worst one was when I took my shot in the morning and then hit up the batting cages w/o eating anything. I could barely stand and I literally went blind for a lil bit. Meaning all I could see was white and my wife said I was extremely pale. Took about 20 minutes before I was able to walk again.

My sister has hypoglycemia.. couple that with severe chronic neutropenia and its a good recipe for infection + eating problems.

My even older sister died from the same thing since at the time she was born there was nothing out there to treat it.

I had an episode like that after going to the eye doctor without eating breakfast first. They did a thing where they poke my eye with a dealy to check the eye surface tension. My body went into shock and I couldn't see and had cold sweats. It sucked.
