Collapsed at work!

[Nfra]

I am a teacher, and I began to feel extremely weak and weird. I tried to press the button to call for help, but apparently according to my husband, I collapsed and hit my head on the student cubbies. They say my breathing was extremely extremely shallow and I was unresponsive. Someone did chest compressions until the EMS came. The EMTs believe I may have had a seizure, or collapse due to a mix of my medications. I was in emergency room for a long time while they ran tests and did an MRI. They also told my husband that they found traces of PCP in my blood. I'm not sure how that is possible, so I'm thinking it's a false positive for my medications. This just happened 3 days ago and I am at home recovering. I can't get ahold of my psychiatrist or psychologist. I'm actually scared to continue my meds because I don't want it to happen again. My poor students were freaked out and worried. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Hope you are feeking better, did the emergency room doctor say whether it was your meds or whether you should stop drinking them ?

The Emergency doctor recommended that I see my psychiatrist to review my meds. I also need to find much better ways to cope at work. I don't take a super amount of meds. But the stress at work brings my anxiety to a whole nother level

So I found out I had a Psychogenic seizure, which was stress induced. I had a friend have a stress induced stroke at 30. I am worried about returning to work. I am not sure about jumping back into the high demands of teaching.

Do you have some cumulated sick and personal leave you can take? Sick leave bank?

Well I no longer have sick days because I used them when going through chemo. But I do have 12weeks of FMLA available, unpaid of course. I am debating taking some of it and going back next semester
