HYPERVENTILATION AFTER MY CONFINEMENT

It was 74 days after my confinement when I was brought to the emergency red zone due to my whole body jadi cramp. Memang aku nangis all the way dari clinic sampai ke hospital. Satu, sebab clinic biasa tak boleh ambil my kind of case (i was freaking mad,biasalah membabi buta tak faham). Secondly, ingat anak sebab takut kena stroke. Boleh imagine tak, bila kaki dan tangan kita semua dah keras tak boleh buat apa, dalam otak cuma fikir maybe dah nak mati. Serius. Masa tu cuma ingat nasib anak2 jelah. Sudahlah husband lambat lagi nak balik. Contact husband pun tak boleh sebab (timezone different. Dia belum bangun) dan kusut sapa nak uruskan Aali sebab dia fully breastfeeding, tak biasa minum botol. 

Sampai hospital terus kena usung naik katil sambil kena tampar dengan few nurses sebab dah weak dan tak larat nak jawab semua soalan. Temperature tengah 40 dengan badan tengah cramp, otak rasa tak mampu nak fikir apa. But I totally understand SOP hospital, diaorang takda choice so bear jelah kena tampar jawab soalan dan ikut arahan. Maybe sebab takut aku tertidur kang salah diagnose. Yang cuma sedar, kena paksa pakai tubeless oxygen mask, ada ECG test lepastu suruh control breathing sampai heart rate below 100.  Lepas kena observed within 4 hours baru doktor explain the whole cramp thingy was hypervent. That's it.

WHAT IS HYPERVENTILATION ANYWAY?

Hyperventilation syndrome also chronic hyperventilation syndrome (CHVS) and dysfunctional breathing hyperventilation syndrome is a respiratory disorder, psychologically or physiologically based, involving breathing too deeply or too rapidly. HVS may present with chest pain and a tingling sensation in the fingertips and around the mouth and may accompany a panic attack.  source: (wikipedia  )

Ok. Pendek kata, gejala ni is gejala over breathing of oxygen. Pelik kan? Kurang oxygen selalula dengar. Lebih oxygen langsung tak pernah terfikir. Puncanya mostly sebab over-stress, restless. Masa tu cuma assume sebab tengah demam dan letih uruskan anak-anak dan rasa rindu yang teramat sangat dekat husband sebab esoknya anniversary so maybe itulah penyebab hypervent. Sampailah ke siri hypervent seterusnya yang  tetiba nak pengsan time office hour, barulah mula terdetik, something wrong somewhere with me. Again masuk hospital. Test ECG (normal), pakai oxygen mask dan control breathing, then boleh balik dari red zone lepas heart rate below 100. Yang cuma berbeza kalini is, jantung sentiasa rasa berdebar-debar like 24 hours. YES, freaking 24 hours every single day since then!

Dan bermulalah episod series of hyperventilations, perubahan hormon badan,  tetiba jadi clueless dan tak faham dengan badan sendiri and then, murung! 

Till next writing,
