What Causes The Body To Go Limp With Purple Discoloration Of The Lips?
Was at gym last night with my boyfriend. Did 15 min on treadmill then to a room where we did about 6 different machines working legs and upper body. I was 2 or 3 machines ahead of him he thought I was working out fast but I was not. It was not a strenuous workout either. He is only 32. I noticed him sitting there for a min and then he asked can you please get me some water. I walked over to him he didnt look good at all ran to get water when I got back he was completely pale white sweat on his head yet not hot to the touch. More clammy than anything. He stated he didnt know what to do and was trying to get up but because he stated he felt like he was going to pass out and he is a bigger man than myself I said no stay seated. His eyes then starting flickering and then rolled back in his head and his lips looked a purple or blue and his mouth was completely shut making a weird noise and his noise began to sound like he was snoring sounding and body was going limp? He came to and said im ok and stated he was seeing dots and then went back into the same thing mentioned above again came to and was staring straight ahead at another guy standing there and about 5 min later after getting some Gatorade in him he looked at the guy standing there that knew him and said oh hey .... his name. But initially didn t even know that was him. He said for awhile he could not see anything but white. Fire dept came and said blood pressure was 116/73 or somewhere in the 70 s on bottom. He went and had an EKG done this morning and blood work but was told to take it easy until blood work came back. He had never had this happen before per him and his parents. Any idea what could have happened? I could not go with him to dr and I told him to tell the dr what happened per what I told him because he asked the dr if she thought he could have had a seizure and she stated no. He states he just passed out but that was way more than just passing out. He only remembers it was a horrible feeling that he just wanted it to go away and he would have given anything to make it go away that he could not see nothing but white never really heard anything but my voice at one point but stated it was like he just dosed off or was dreaming and asleep.
