confused

don’t know if this even falls under the topic of QI but i don’t really use my phone often and i’m not woke to stuff so don’t know where to ask

i almost died in 2024 due to a cardiac arrest and the shut down of some other vital organs, really i should have died i was suffering from anorexia and my body was extremely weak even though i am young i have been unwell since about 12 years old and i have additional health issues and my parents and my caseworker were almost positive that i wasn’t going to make it especially considering i was refusing all treatments that i could. Anyway i’m fine now but i do have a slight brain injury however i am fully coherent and live a normal life

about a week after getting discharged from hospital i was at home with my mum discussing my wisdom teeth and talking about wanting them taking out she made a joke about me doing it DIY style since i clearly thought i was already a qualified dentist

i didn’t understand at all and asked her what she meant and she was just like oh you know when you pulled your teeth out

we went back and forth because i genuinely had no memory of this event but when i went and checked i am in fact missing two molar teeth that i somehow hadn’t even noticed and it made my head spin in ways that i cannot even explain because i can’t understand it it was just so weird

i know QI is reality splitting but i think because i had already been fixated on the topic as i somehow survived the hospital i convinced myself that it was all linked it feels weird saying that now and i’m probably way off but it was just so strange

i checked my dental records too and it was down on there that i had gone in to have a checkup after taking my teeth out

it’s probably not that unusual might be a result of my brain injury but the feeling that i felt when i saw that my teeth actually were missing was so so weird and felt like a shift in myself i started getting scared of myself or the myself that i was now and kinda convinced myself that i had been replaced or that i wasn’t real. I also instantly went dizzy and felt nauseous which is also strange since i’m not at all squeamish but yeah idk just wanted to put it out there and maybe find out if anyone has ever experienced anything similar?
