I don't know why there called blackouts when everything turns blurry and white. I get dizzy, everything turns white and down I go. It all happens in a matter of seconds. This time I went down while going upstairs and got rugburn on my face as i slid back down the stairs.... The outcome is not pretty Does anyone else "blackout"?

I think you need to consult a doctor for that blackout. It can be epilepsy or heart issues, I really don't know.

@Honesmama84 maybe you can consult a specialist for the heart, that is a cardiologist.

I have seen a doctor multiple times for it, unfortunately they have no idea why it happens. They said there is no medical reason for it.

You need to visit the doctor ASAP. It may be you need some further investigations to determine the cause of these faints. Might be something easily remedied as much as something serious.

I have been to many doctors for it. I was in the ER last week due to a blackout and they found nothing out of the ordinary
