Most of my day yesterday was spent in in the ER, with @clover at my side.

When I woke up, I was hyperventilating because I felt like I couldn't get enough oxygen. Not only that, even the idea of food or water made me feel sick to my stomach, and being upright made me feel dizzy and faint. It honestly felt like the state when exercising past my cardiovascular capacity.

After some convincing from @clover, she drove me to the hospital. I had to lie in the back of the car because I knew that the nausea from being upright combined with my usual motion sickness wouldn't bode well.

I spent the entire time in the ER waiting room hyperventilating while attempting to be as non-upright as possible in the chair. I was honestly afraid for my life at this point!

Once admitted to a room and bundled up with blankets because I was freezing, they did a number of blood tests and even did an X-ray on my chest to see if there was something wrong with my lungs. They also gave me anti-nausea medication and fluids through IV, which eventually got me well enough to eat some Pringles and drink some Gatorade.

In the end, they just gave me some antibiotics for the UTI I had since Thursday and told me to stop taking the Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole prescribed to me by the urgent care clinic for said UTI. The discharge papers suggested that they think it was the cause of the whole mess.

Feels like I can't get any oxygen unless I consciously breathe deeply.
