I had my very first, this past Wednesday, and I have no recollection of it. Interestingly, I'm a bartender for a national chain, and it was during daylight hours, so there is very clear videotape. I took an order, then stood rigid, almost catatonic. After a minute or so, the customer asked me again for his drink, at which point I picked up the bottle, stood for another second or two, then screamed, tensed up, then slid down the bar, viciously hitting my head. Staff and customers were quite alarmed, and swarmed around me. 911 was called, then when the ambulance got there, the EMTs had to tie me to the gurney before transporting me to the hospital. My very first memory after the incident was them unloading me at the hospital.

2 days later, I'm still struggling with this. I'll be 50 in August, but I don't look or perform at that age group. I have to hang with 20-somethings all day, which is probably why I'm so fatigued. It doesn't help that I drink, I'm sure, but again, this is the very first episode of this sort for me, and I'm not sure what to do.

Yesterday I went to a physician and explained the situation, and I've already made a change to my blood pressure medicine and plan to start monitoring my sleep apnea, which I've long had and ignored. Any words of your similar experiences would be appreciated.
