What Causes Sudden Breathing Cessation And Urinary Incontinence?

Last Saturday, I had a strange thing happen to me. I stopped breathing, lost control of my bodily fluids ( I peed my pants ), and I hit my head on the floor hard enough that it ached for at least four days after. My question is -- did I die ? I was lucky in that I had an aquaitance ( someone I knew ) over who elevated me and I guess I started back up. I take 2 of three medicines prescribed for blood pressure but that is all. They are amlodipine and lisinopril.

Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion this episode may be due to TIA (Transient Ischaemic Attack) or absence seizures.
In both these conditions patient becomes unconscious for a moment. Patient looses all control and fall.
So we need to rule out these in your case.
Consult neurologist and discuss about your episode.
You may need EEG (Electro Encephalo Gram) and MRI Brain for diagnosis.
Better to avoid stress and tension.
I find this answer helpful
