I had to log out from my shift today as I am in terrible pain. Sensitive to light and noise. Iwould suddenly black out with combined with a crowning pain in my head and an irritating flat line sound. Last time this happened my hubby took me to the hospital and they put a dextrose to help me. But I dont want to go to a hospital now due to covid. Please help. Thank you.
