Have you ever passed out?

I've had something very similar happen to me many times! One time was so bad I got taken to the ER where they told me it was low blood pressure (though I'm not sure if they really took time on it, seeing as they also found out I had appendicitis and I had to get surgery that very same day). So, to this day, I still think its low blood pressure, but I'm not really quite sure. It could be the same for you, but it could be different, I would say if it continues to happen you should get it checked out.

Once I passed out during a soccer match of Ajax Amsterdam. It's not good fun to sit on a seat with a bloody defibrillator and heart machine next to you. ( Not that they used it for me but hell it's creepy)

Oh well... it was too hot and I drank and ate nothing.

Perhaps you stood up a bit too fast and your brains didn't receive enough blood causing you to pass out.

Are you alright now? Passing out is a scary feeling. I passed out once after I gave blood. It was my second time so i thought I was going to be alright but I still forgot I haven't eaten anything the whole day. I was shopping with my friend later and felt dizzy. Next thing I know I can't see anything and was on the ground. Someone passing by bought me some juice so I could get some sugar in my blood. I didn't get hurt but it was very scary. I hope your kneel heals soon.

I've never actually passed out and from what I understand just about anything can make you feel bad enough to pass out. You may have been too hot or maybe you just got up too fast and didn't get time to wake up enough to get the blood moving to your head. I'd just try to relax today and see how you feel. If you pass out again I may visit a doctor to see what is going on. I think passing out once isn't something to really worry about but several times may mean there is an issue.

I wanted to become a blod donor once, simply because i have a less common blodtype. I got tapped the first time and passed out straightly afterwards because my blodpercentage was to low.

Its a common thing for women to have a lower blodpercentage, and therfore more chances of passing out, or that the vision seems to go black in a few seconds where you feel dissy.

Eat iron-vitamins, or food containing more iron, such as raisins, spinage and brocolli are good examples.

Yes, at home, at school, college and 3 different work places. Some of them were due to sickness bugs and others to the heat, lack of food, low blood pressure and possibly stress. Getting up from a lying position too quickly can cause it too. Fortunately, I've never really hurt myself beyond a bit of bruising. I do know someone who passed out at the topof the stairs and landed in a heap at the bottom. He suffered friction burns down his back but was lucky not to have broken his neck.

No, i never experience it feeling like a blackout or totally unaware. maybe i feel dizzy but not really pass out. I saw someone get dizzy and so lucky her classmates grab her before she hit the cemented ground..Then, they brough her to the schools clinic and then slightly damp her nose from a small cloth ammonia.,to help her awake..

hi madbomber

i have to say i once had something very similar to that... i got up from bed and stood up and suddenly out of nowhere i felt dizzy and very light headed, and i don't remember myself falling, i woke up after a few minutes and luckily i didn't hurt myself in the process, i too don't know how that happened and that was quiet a long time ago... i don't think it is something very serious unless it keeps on happening frequently so take care... i sometimes have that "light headed" attack but now i have learned how to control it... i just stand still and hold onto to something, just don't move and that feeling just passes away, these attacks are very rare and i wonder what causes them, it has been really very long time since i had one such attack and i have not shown this problem to the doctor, just hope there is nothing very serious maybe i hadn't eaten up sufficiently, anyways just take care and do go to your doc if it happens much more frequently coz there can be several reasons that could be happening... have a nice day madbomber...

What a scary thought, I have high blood pressure so one time while I was at work, I went for a break and ate something out of one of the vending machines, got up and realized the room was spinning, so I sat down and said to myself o.k how are you going to do this, so I got up held onto the wall/chair what ever I could i knew if I let go I was going down, so I did this till I got to the phone called the floor I was working on and asked one of the aides to come and assist me, he helped me and when I got up stairs I drank a picture full of water to flush out the salt I had taken in and I was o.k, thank god it never happened again, but I watch my salt intake to make sure it does not happen,let me correct myself not only do I watch it, I don't use it.

I have passed out before when i was in high school, we were assembling in the uncovered ground, I was having my monthly period, I felt so weak and tired especailly standing the sun for more than 20 minutes while I was losing my blood, I finally fell down on the floor... it was not fun because I felt so awful...
