Yeah, sounds traumatic.
I did have one traumatic experience, but I don't think it compares to yours. Yours is much worse...
One time we were driving home from a trip to Canada (we stayed in the Toronto area). Well, I was driving us home when I suddenly started feeling really ill (i.e., want to throw up). That's when I told my mom to take over.
Well, maybe that wasn't such a good idea... My mom's driving exacerbated the feeling of wanting to throw up. (Mind you, my mom is an awful driver. Her speeds are very erratic... Her speeds change every second because she constantly taps the gas pedal instead of holding her foot there. So, as you can imagine, my stomach was getting jerked around!)
Eventually I told my mom to pull over because I just couldn't take it anymore. That's when she slammed the brakes so f***ing hard that it actually caused me to throw up. Eventually we got back on the road again, but her awful driving still made me feel sick.
I was puking the whole time, and at some point, I started puking up A LOT of blood. (Yeah pretty gross.) That's when I had a freaking severe panic attack. I was subconsciously causing myself to hyperventilate, and I lost circulation in my arms, legs, stomach, face, etc.. I also felt incredibly dizzy. I told my mom to pull over and call and ambulance, but she was like, "No, we're almost home! We have 1 hour!" I shrieked: "I'M THROWING UP BLOOD"
Then she finally pulled over and called an ambulance. I got out of the car and I fell down because I was so dizzy. Then I smacked my head on the pavement! The paramedics put one of those blood pressure cuffs on my arm when I got into the ambulance, and my arm was in excruciating pain. (The blood pressure cuff cut off my circulation even further! Believe me, it hurts like a b****.) I was slipping in and out of consciousness.
When I got to the hospital, they looked at my throat and saw that all the stomach acid had started burning a hole in my throat! That's where all the bleeding came from (thankfully not an ulcer). They had to give me Zofran via IV to stop the throwing up, as well as give me 2 liters of water via IV. Well, it turns out that Zofran f***s with your serotonin levels!!!! It made me severely depressed and suicidal afterwards!
