Micturition Syncope

It is now appearing that I most likely suffered from micturition syncope.

This is from Wikipedia.

Micturition syncope or post-micturition syncope is the name given to the human phenomenon of fainting shortly after or during urination. The underlying cause is not fully understood but it may be a result of vasovagal response, postural hypotension, or a combination thereof.

People often become pale, lightheaded, nauseated, sweaty and weak before they lose consciousness. Sometimes defecating, coughing, or severe vomiting may cause fainting in a similar way.

In some ways I think I have been lucky. This picture was taken forty-eight hours after I fell.

I’m looking and feeling a bit better now!
