You are dispatched to an elderly woman with C/C of weakness.
You arrive on scene to find a 90 year old woman seated in a chair. She is A/Ox4 appears tired but in no major distress. A friend tells you she had just finished a work out class when the pt told her she felt weak and sat down. The pt stated she was feeling a little better once she sat down. Medical history is unknown.
Vitals all come back WNL, BP 130/80 HR 80 SPO2 97%.
PT becomes unresponsive. She is awake but unresponsive. Pt is lowered to the floor. One EMT calls for ALS the other reassess vitals. Unchanged. Episods lasts 30-45 secknds. After some painful stimuli the pt slowly becomes more responsive to being able to respond to her name and accurately describe where she is. PT returns to A/Ox4. ALS arrives. BGL and EKG are clear.
PT AMAs. BLS crew checked on the PT several hours later and she was doing fine.
Any ideas what happened?
