My name is Jess.

Ugh. I hate this cold weather. What I really hate is the drastic changes in weather. I always get sick. I was sick all Easter weekend. My sinuses were literally screaming in pain(okay, maybe not literally, but it really sucked). Thankfully, this bitter weather is supposed to let up soon. Maybe I'll be able to breathe out of my nose by Friday.

But anyway, I didn't post this blog just to whine, did I? No, I wanted to warn the other people like me that get these head colds because of the weather. I nearly passed out Monday morning, and I think it might have been because of this cold.

I was sitting in my Bio class Monday morning, when suddenly I felt very nauseous. I seriously felt like I was going to throw up (which is something that rarely happens to me). I started feeling dizzy and started sweating, so I decided to sneak out to the restroom before I tossed my cookies all over the girl in front of me.

I was halfway down the hallway when I got even more dizzy. I leaned up against the wall for a second, then pushed on. I started seeing blue and purple dots, and I couldn't really see where I was going. After almost knocking over a fold-out table in the hall, I reached the restroom. I grabbed hold of the stall, and the next thing I knew I was on the floor trying to catch my breath. My head felt like it was spinning, and I could hear myself wheezing and gasping for breath. The blue and purple dots were pretty much all I could see, so I laid on the floor and closed my eyes for what was probably five minutes or so, until I caught my breath, and the nauseousness subsided a little.

Thankfully, no one had come in the restroom and saw my predicament. I finally opened my eyes and sat up. I went to scratch the back of my neck when I noticed it was soaked. I looked and saw my t-shirt was soaked too. It was sweat.

This is by far, the strangest thing that has ever happened to me, and I think it was because of this head cold I have, or the meds I've been taking to treat my symptoms. Anyone else had anything like this?

Just thought I would share,
