Luckily, I was near a fire station who hooked me up to an EKG and monitored me for a while. BP elevated. Popped a Benadryl, signed off, finished the ride. Later that night, I was disoriented and went to the ER. They couldn't get a vein and suspected I was dehydrated. Went to my PCP the next day after pounding Pedialyte and water, and they said they didn't even want to try, as bruised as my arms were.

So I have a follow-up later this week. Hoping this passes. I'm sort of scared.
