Please help me w/ basic info; I'm new to ever posting anywhere
I had a leg cramp last night, which woke me up. I got out of bed trying to work it out & next thing I knew I was on the floor having hit the back of my head on a dresser. I don't know if I lost consciousness. Head bled, could have used a stitch or 2, but stopped w/ pressure. I was woozy & had blurred vision (but wear contacts & didn't have them on--vision fine now). What worried me was that I took 2 advil (I now know that was contraindicated!) & upon lying back down, I then became nauseous & vomited. Vomited @ 2x after that. I am a clinical social worker & cancelled my clients today as I did not think I would do them justice. I have slept most of day & feel better, but still feel woozy when shifting my head right or left. What I am worried @ is something happening like Natasha Richardson. I am a breast cancer survivor 2 yrs now & so was kicked off good insurance & only have a policy w/ super high deductible. Am single mother of 2 & cannot afford to seek medical attention, unless I am dying. And need to regroup quickly as if I don't work, I don't get paid.

So, basically, just want some comforting odds that my dying is unlikely & my symptoms are "normal" & will get better w/ time & any ideas on what can help.

Thanks so much for any info.

Again, I really cannot go to ER & pay for treatment.

I see I mistakingly first posted this as a reply & apologize of rnot knowing how to use a forum. Thanks for your patience.
