Have you ever fainted?

I have fainted before when I was pregnant with my second daughter. I was at college studying psychology and learning quite happily the nextt hting I know I am on the floor with all these people surrounding me checking if I was okay. I had to leave college early as she didnt want me staying incase I needed a doctor. I had to see my midwife the next day I had a high blood pressure and she thought it was pre-eclampsia which was scary. They thought that until I gave birth but didnt do anything about it!

Wow your experience sounds scary. I am more worried for you than what couldve happened to the cash tho!

Nope I didn't faint at any point in time. It is a shame that you did. Luckily no one stole the money in the cash drawer. One of my friends fainted before when we were out because she was dehydrated and the sun was shining brightly.

When I was a kid I use to faint when I'm in a crowded area. Places like church and market are the most common in which I experienced fainting. Since then I had a phobia on crowded places. I never go to church until now whenever there is a mass going on. That's so sad.

yes, i have experienced it i think twice...and those are during my period! particularly when its my 2nd day...what happens then was the weather is very hot and my husband and i walk from their house to the grocery and its kinda far about 20 minutes walk i think...when we get into the store, i just feel like my eyesight is getting blurry, i sweat a lot but i feel cold, and i hardly hear what my husband is saying...and i just feel weak. so what i do is i just sit there, and wait for a few moment...and when i feel a little okay, we just take a ride back home and there i just take a rest...and i'm fine again...
according to my husband i look really pale that moment...
i am just thankful that its not happening to me no anymore...

Hi tuckersheri,

I have fainted as well. I was sat watching TV I think, and I got up to give my dad a hug (not sure why, I think he might have been going to bed or something), and I stood up too quick so got the little lights in front of the eyes. Well I used to get that a lot so I just kept walking towards him, but just as I was about to reach him I fainted. He tried to catch me but he either missed, or he managed to catch me and ended up felling over too, but regardless we ended up tumbling into the radio located diagonally from us. I heard all this in a fuzzy echoed haze thing and I heard him speaking but I couldn't understand him. Then a few seconds later I was back on the sofa and crying uncontrollably because of the shock, and I was so worried because I thought that dad had been yelling at me, but he hadn't. We were both fine, I think he got pretty scared, and I got a bruised arm, but other than that it was fine. I am glad to say I have never fainted since then, and now when I get the lights after standing I stay still till they have faded to avoid doing that again since it was a vile experience lol!

All the best,
Dranz

yes, only once though, i was standong inside this shop and i started to feel a bit light headed so i went outdoors to get some air leaving my basket on the counter, the next thing i remember is some lady asking me if i was ok, i don't remember actually fainting but i do remember feeling dizzy, i gave her my number to call home and my now ex husband came to get me, i went to the doctors and later found out i was 18 weeks pregnant, this was many many years ago, so i found out why i had fainted, months later i had a beautiful baby boy...he is 25 now...still beautiful

Yes I have apparently it runs in my family we are prone to fainting.
One time I fainted when I was visiting my niece who was a baby at the time in hospital she was under strip lights because she was slightly jaundice and it was very hot in the room she was in. I was just 15 at the time I felt myself falling luckily my dad caught me and the nurse got a chair for me I was okay though after cooling down a bit.
Another time I was at the hand clinic with my daughter and I started feeling very faint so we sat down the next thing I knew I was lying on a hospital bed.I had given the nurse a scare she told me she had never seen anyone look so pale looking. I di not want to make a fuss but they insisted that I had to go down to A&E to be checked out but they found nothing wrong so put it down to me being exhausted and overheated.
I am glad to hear that you are okay now.

Yes I was working 12 hors outside in the middle of July and I am already a diabetic so I was drinking some gaterade with some extra sugar added! I was going to the vending machine and then boom I just fell out in the middle of the floor! I was rushed to the ER and wa dehidrated and had to spend 2 days in the hospital!

well, i have not fainted but my sister has once at six flags. she is a diabetic so everybody was going crazy because they thought she was either very low or very high. but i turns out that it was just the heat and dehydration that caused her to faint. and she hasn't fainted since.
