Solange Knowles: Airport Medical Emergency
Giving her fans quite a scare, R&B star Solange Knowles was admitted to the hospital when she collapsed after downing flu pills on a flight out of New York City last night (February 17).
After attending the star-studded Armani store opening earlier in the evening, Beyonce’s younger sister was reportedly treated by paramedics after downing the capsules onboard a plane - apparently having an adverse reaction to the medication.
According to reports, Solange posted a series of bizarre postings on social networking Web site Twitter, which she uploaded during the journey.
Telling fans how she had swallowed NyQuil tablets to treat a cold, Solange wrote: “I took a nyquil and i think maybe im getting high off it because im not sleeping. maybe i should close my eyes...”
Minutes later, she added, “think im certified loosing (sic) it on nyquil. going to sleep before i start freestyling on the plane… omg (Oh my God) i didnt know nyquil could do this to you. i took the pills tho. cant stomach cough syrup. trying to be proactive on this flight. Never taking nyquil again. I feel so weird.”
Logging on again to tell how she had woken up on the floor of an airport surrounded by nurses, the star wrote: “Woaah...... How’d I end up in the hospital? Woke up to 8 random people over me, laid out on the floor in baggage claim!... Guess I passed out! Scary. Hooked up to IV now . Apparantly I’m super dehydrated.”
Continuing on to tell of her mother rushing to her side, Solange adds, “I’ve never passed out before. S**t was like the movies. People standing over me saying ‘hello’... My mom is the best. LOL (laugh out loud). She’s like ‘Ain’t nothing wrong with this girl, she need some water and rest… Pull up the car!’ LOL I’m like still in shock. I’ve never passed out before. Think it was the nyquil too. I felt weird when I woke up. This has been the day from hell. I’m done with the second IV. I just want to get in the bed and lay with (son) Julez. That’s all I want.”
Later confirming that she had been released from hospital following treatment, Miss Knowles happily wrote: “I’m out! yay!... they let me go..... Rest. Water. Rest. Water.”
