My sister sent me an instant message a couple of days ago to inform me that she is home from New York. She went to New York because she had to renew her Malaysian passport, which has expired for a number of years. I had no idea why she chose October to go to New York, but she said that it can no longer be delayed.
I asked her how was her trip since the family is looking forward to see her photos. My sister told me that her trip was "extremely bad". After reaching New York, she toured the city for a little while. The next day, she went to the Embassy to get her official stuff done.
Once that was done, she felt that her heart was beating too fast and she didn't feel well. She went back to the hotel with her husband. She thought that by lying down, the heart will normalize but it did not. It lasted for 17 hours!! The next morning, when she went to the bathroom, she fainted.
Her husband didn't know what to do, and thought that she died, with her eyes wide open but she was motionless. Luckily, he had the presence of mind to call 911. Paramedics came to the hotel room and according to my sister, they couldn't detect her vital signs from one of her arms. They managed to get her to Emergency. According to the doctor, she was suffering from low blood pressure and was severely dehydrated.
They ran blood tests on her and everything returned normal. After one day of monitoring, they let her go so that they could catch a flight home to Tennessee. My sister deduced that the reason she fainted was because she was still suffering from the effects of losing her baby in June where she lost a lot of blood. I hope that this was it and that she doesn't suffer any major health issues! Gave me a fright too!
