If I see you in class with your diet sodas or your coffees or your teas I'll kick your ass (unless you have water too.) For fuck’s sake, Huges, rest!

And my tendency towards powering through no matter what, as depressingly typical as it is, brought trouble about. But if symptoms return, I will pop in to see my GP. Lately, I have been hanging out with midwives and pediatricians and OB?GYNs only.

Jerry Garcia, who was no paragon of clean living, felt a little woozy in his bathroom one day, sat down and went into a diabetioc coma so severe, he had to relearn how to play the guitar. It's you're call, of course, but if I were you, I'd get a second opinion. I’m glad you’re OK, Hugo, but if you fainted twice in quick succession, you need more than one opinion.

Don't tell me - of that six hours, five and a half were sitting around waiting for medical staff to actually pay attention to you. Wow, glad you were OK.

Frightening! Try drinking the sport drinks triatheletes drink before you run which contains electrolytes. I also make a point of drinking one full glass of water prior to all exercise and some type of small nourishment such as a small glass of protein shake, a bit of yogurt, or a spoon-full of almond or peanut butter and part of a banana. You should never exercise without doing this! Even after having a bit of yougurt this morning I was hungry while swimming today and when I got out of the pool and was driving home I almost experienced a similar incident to yours (though not as bad as yours-thank God!) Good thing, because I was driving! When I got home I experienced it again so I immediately made a protein shake and in addition ate a toasted piece of bread with olive oil and sprinkled salt on it. I felt better almost immediately.........I think it was due to a loss of electrolytes and hunger, water alone won't re-charge. I’m sorry to hear about your emergency room scare! Frightening!
