So, I was at an ice cream place awhile down the road. It was to the South, hot and crowded. I went inside and just fell flat on the floor. That was embarrassing. I felt fine as soon as two people helped me up, but they made me sit down for a few minutes, and brought me some water, because I knew I was slightly dehydrated, but now, what caused this? I think I over took my BP medicine this AM. I am quite sure of it, I screwed up going down there, and it took a long time and I was thirsty. I had drinks in the car, but they were all hot. They said online that muscle tears or weakness or knee instability could cause it as well,,,possible other scary things, but I don't have other symptoms really most of the time. I will go to the doc, and probably need a cardio for a check up, but I wasn't feeling lightheaded or bad when I fell..just legs felt weak. So, I think it was a combination of things, but friend is bringing a knee brace for me tomorrow. just in case. Also, hot humid weather does not agree with me at all, but I was hardly out in it.

@MarieCoyle I know. I try to stay out of the heat, especially if it's humid as much as I can.

I don't do well being out very long in hot weather, either. And summer isn't even half over.

They want me to come in anyway, but am probably going to need a specialist.

@rakski No, Thankfully. Thankfully, I fell on my back and not my knees again.

Yeah, but the other times I tripped on something. This was different.

@snowy22315 - That is completely different, this time you went down without tripping.

I was going to have to go anyway . It wasn't really scary just kind of embarrassing. Scary came later when I was thinking about it.

I'm so sorry you fell. I'm glad people helped you up. Dehydration and heat could cause something like that. Let us know how the doctor's appointment goes, OK?

Do get checked out. New parts for us antiques are hard to come by. I am sorry that happened but glad that people stepped up to help. This heat is no fun.

Yeah, they were working there. The truckstop Loves was also required to take my name phone number and birthdat Too bad the door wasn't wet .
I don't intend to get any new parts.

I am wondering if the knee injury was more complicated than I thought. However, sometimes my arms feel a bit weak too, but not often. I frequently haul 30-40 pounds of groceries in here without a hitch.
