What is like having NCS? (part 1)

I thought this could happen only in movies or soap operas.


Flashback childhood.


I'm an average kid with a knack for games. I'm the usual hyper, curios and always playing type of kid! So one faithful night, My parents brought me to a party with lots of adult and I was the only kid at that time, I distinctly remember that I was running and suddenly my eyes rolled back and then i lost consciousness next thing I know I was being carried by people to a bed.

The feeling is that there is an electric shock all over the body and suddenly you can't move then you collapse.

Years of tests and procedures. Honestly I never find it exhausting nor painful, I went to different specialists and I had no complains maybe because I like hospitals (weird) at that time. I love the clean smell, the aura the uniform of the nurses and doctors, the patients bed etc. 

So the fainting and loss of consciousness frequently occurs when I was in elementary and high school.

We went to a neurologist at St. Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City and did a EEG test, no abnormalities found ergo normal.

The EEG test is nothing to be afraid about because it only reads your brain activities / brain waves to determine if there are abnormalities in electrical activities of the brain. You get to sleep for approximately 1 hour and that's about it. The annoying part is removing the gel from your hair that is used to attach the cords for the test (it's sticky and it stinks)

There's no diagnosis. I brushed it off and just thought it's merely psychological. 

Forward....

During my college years up to first 5 years of my working experience, it did not attack and it didn't bother me. I used to work for a bank btw.


Changing career path. 
I went to the academe from the banking industry (separate post).


Fast forward to February 4, Grade 9 (level I'm teaching) went to Kidzania to have their Alternative Learning Experience (Field Trip). I woke up early (complete 8 hour sleep), ate breakfast then it attacked while I was seating inside the bus fortunately I managed not to faint and able to recover quickly. At 11:30 am inside kidzania, It attacked again and i lost consciousness, I woke up with blood all over my face, hands, and shirt. Also, my front teeth chipped off. The kidzania personel woke me up and assist me to go to the clinic. I'm very grateful to kidzania because the doctor and the nurse assisted me in all aspect. So I made a commotion inside the park with a lot of people and it sucks to be honest, I didn't expect that to happen but it did. I was rushed to St. Lukes Global City and the attending Neurologist assisted me.

Next thing I know, I am confined and various test procedures are being conducted. Thank You Intellicare.
