i need an idea of what's going on:(

Wed, 01/08/2020 - 01:30
while sitting in class today i felt lightheaded, sort of dizzy/a bit delirious (just plain out of it) and i felt this rising feeling in my stomach that kind of made me nauseous, i also felt this rush come over for a couple seconds and it was hard to keep my eyes open. i snapped out of it after a few minutes and i had this weird migraine pain in the side of the head for a few seconds after. i felt a bit weird and extremely exhausted for the rest of the day after that. then tonight, i was sitting in my bed and i felt weird and like i was blanking, i just remember looking forward one second and i don't really remember anything much after that, i do remember feeling myself shake and i couldn't see and i remember gagging and throwing up towards the end of it for some reason. i just wish the doctors took me seriously because i don't want anything serious to happen like that again
