I blacked out in Dec and again in March. Then I had almost daily near fainting experiences which were terrifying in their intensity. I finally went to the Doc in April and was diagnosed with 3rd degree heart block. My pulse rate was 28 beats per minute and I drove to the clinic!! I received a pacemaker that same day. I feel fine again.

[@unhappysurfingfish1904]

So I've fainted a few times but there have been a few unexplained close calls. The first is when I was 10, we were practicing a song in school and I started feeling really quite weird, I started trembling and I started getting lightheaded. My instincts told me to sit down, so I did and it went away. The next time was when I was doing some charity work but we hadn't even started yet, we were just getting into position, I think this is my closest call without actually losing consciousness, as I could barely walk and I was shaking uncontrollably, even one of the guys I was with asked me if I was okay and remarked that I looked terrible. I got myself to a table and rested my head on it, it took me about 10 minutes to come out of it. I was fine for the rest of the day. The last one I sort of have an idea why that happened, I was coming home from outside and I heard footsteps running behind me. Idk why but I thought the were after m, so I ran into my house which luckily wasn't far away. I went upstairs and got that familiar dizzy feeling and shaking back. So I lay down on the floor until I felt okay. I have a feeling that this was something to do with adrenaline or something like that

[@artisthusnatalal3099]

You might be anaemic. Check your haemoglobin. Also stay away from fear anxiety. Wish you well

[@lizandrews3884]

Thank you for posting this. I think I began to faint today at my oldest old school...again. I can’t really describe how I feel or felt in the last but I couldn’t walk, I grabbed something in today’s case the door rail or I’ll hold my hands out. I felt horrible outta nowhere & really hot. I don’t have a history of fainting but have felt the symptoms of it since having my fourth child last year. I thought it was from lack of something to eat but I ate already & had a coffee & Sprite. I feel jittery, dizzy, my speech slurs sometimes, very weak & hot before I officially before I begin to fall. I usually need help getting back on my feet & after a little while or an hour, I feel right again. I don’t really know what causes it other than too hot but today I began to feel too hot because it was too crowded in the school entrance. Too many people & the school nurse made everyone get in the school & away from me so I guess I could catch my breath. My fam & I temporarily live with my mother & she smokes which doesn’t help because I can’t breathe that crap & she keeps the house too hot. Although it’s a little cold outside, this still happened. Idk if I need to go to the hospital when this happens or not

[@lizandrews3884]

I also feel off balance & like everything around me is kinda spinning. It’s not like I tripped or anything. I don’t really know how to describe it.

[@artisthusnatalal3099]

Check your haemoglobin too. You might be anaemic from loosing blood after your deliveries. Also stop taking fizzy drinks and coffee. Drink beetroot mixed with carrots, and drinks lots of water. Wish you the best of health

[@beaulieuc8910]

Excellent presentation

[@iasminahrituleac7888]

I fainted when I was little when seeing blood. I don't anymore but I fainted 6 months ago when one morning I woke up with belly pain and jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet I knew I will faint so I started getting panicked. That's when I lost consciousness, as when I woke up in the hallway the toilet was flushed. The thing is that my brother passed away 5 years ago so my parents have incredible anxiety, so I woke up and I was soaked and they were more terrified than I was. Since I have terrible anxiety and panic as I'm always scared that I will faint. I still struggle with it and I feel like I'm literally going crazy However, reading you stories makes me calmer.

I have Endometriosis and have had many fainting spells throughout my life, I have also blacked out...once due to Endometriosis. When I'm going to pass out I can feel it and I get clammy and very hot and feel extreme weakness increase rapidly. I typically like laying on a cold floor to help and tend to stay there for several minutes, if I'm lucky enough not to loss consciousness, otherwise I stay there regardless until I feel strong enough to move. As for the Black out I felt nothing before falling over and didn't even know I was falling over. Lucky I was on the Porcelain throne and I fell over and ended upside down in the tub. When I was coming to I remember my feet and legs had a strong wave run up my legs that felt like they were asleep. When I was coming to in the tub I didn't realize where I was, what happened or anything. If I didn't have my pants down with...Endometriosis evidence about the place I would have not even known how I got upside down in the cold dry tub...

Fainted first time, I got up too fast after I pooped, then I stretched my hands in the air to yawn, and that's when my heart went bonkers due to lack of enough blood supply. I somehow tried to grab something leaned against the wall and sat down, I was able to see and hear and my legs were moving in funny motion as if they were still trying to stand me up. That made me feel crap to be honest.

[@dennislivingston8634]

Exactly what I experienced a number of times (albeit infrequent) in regards to fainting. Except before I was always able to sit down and wait it out and never really fainted. Today I was on a busy train when I started to get that hot dizzy feeling, and this time there was nowhere to sit myself to make it stop. Next thing I remember someone was helping me sit down as they made room for me. Kinda freaky, there's like 10 seconds missing there where I must have fell over and they caught me.

I was at a softball practice. At the end my coach said, “All pitchers, and catchers MUST run a lap!” So I thought I could run and beat my entire team in my gear, I was a good.. I dunno.. maybe 20 yards ahead? When I looked up at a teammate. I could feel my brain spinning in my head, I could hear my heart beating.. my legs started hurting, I closed my eyes and I guess fell down. I heard another girl saying, “I’ll die with her!” (As a joke) and, “I don’t think she’s okay!” Finally my coaches ran over to me. They got me over on my back and I woke up crying. I couldn’t breathe, and I had a bad headache. On the way home, my mother and I were talking. I couldn’t get a sentence together. Suddenly, it all got quiet. My mom was yelling at the top of her lungs. Finally she put the window down and started tugging on me. Finally I woke up. Maybe 20-30 minutes later we left for the hospital. Everything was normal. I’m going back in 5-6 days. My mom doesn’t know but my chest burns and I have a softball tournament tomorrow.

[@danielwaters9]

Last week was my first ever collapse smashing a fan in the process of me falling, having no memory of what had happened. Told me doctor and he said it was associated with a very mild cough. Today have had a bigger fall walking through the kitchen smashing my face into something and cutting my cheek, cut my shoulder up, cut the back of my head. And now can't move my neck properly without pain shooting up my neck to my head and down my arms.

Thank you very much for an explanation. You have described my fainting experiences very well. I will be seeing my doctor very soon. In the mean time, more water more salt. Thanks

[@delphiaanderson9688]

I think I fainted when I was away in college. The reason I say I think is because I got a bunch of different people telling me I blacked out, passed out, fainted. But based on the description in this video, I believe I fainted. I recall the student bookstore becoming unbearably hot quite suddenly, I developed tunnel vision and felt like I was about to be sick and then next thing I knew I was on the floor and a security officer was asking me if I was diabetic or had any health problems. I had difficulty understanding the security officer though because I couldn’t hear him. All I could hear was buzzing and my blood pulsating in my ears.

[@kevinm8865]

Thanks for sharing this. I was concerned yesterday when I jogged downstairs and tried to waterfall some water. I started feeling light-headed as I walked into the kitchen. After opening the fridge and holding the water container over my head (waterfalling), thought ... 'I'm not feeling so good' and suddenly I'm on the floor in a small pool of water. I do remember the back of my head hitting the top of the island (thankfully it was not a hard hit), on the way down. I seemingly fell straight down and remember being in a slight 'haze' wondering if I really did fall. The pool of water and the water container, on the floor, assured me it was all too real. Thank God it wasn't a black out. I was nervous if something was really wrong but I felt fine; heart beating normal and could get up okay, move my mouth, and talk normal. Sounds like I'm just in terrible shape and the jog down the stairs (from previously sitting down) caused me to faint. Reality check!

[@deboraholiver3716]

all I felt was a feeling I recognize as a panic attach.... I thought, I haven't felt this in a very long time. Next opened my eyes and my face was on the table. I said, I think I passed out.... my friends called an ambulance. All tests at the hospital came out normal. Now I'm to see my primary care physician and a heart doctor. I felt relieved when you said about the monitor to ease worry. I increased my fluid and no caffeine today. I noticed I utalized the fluid. I've been under hydrated I think regularly

[@m.n.d5949]

Thank u . This is insightful. Mine is partically both. I fainted often but i knew it was going to happen but if i wasnt able to sit in time i completely passed out and injured myself several times.

[@wendyjomendy]

I was having that blackouts standing then just slam to the floor many times on my knees or crashing through things or landing face first in my food. When that begins occurring frequently i start taking magnesium, kelp vitamins, and omega xl. All on my own i believe it was God that had me take them. Id take them daily until the episodes stopped. Evertime it acts up id take them. Eventually i stopped needing them as often. Maybe due to diet changes such as stopping massive loads of sugar. Idk if the episodes are linked to eating too much at once when constipated or if it was a certain medication i was on. For example if i increased food, dairy (calcium? Like lots of yogurt)or meds or sugars so i figured its a lack of magnesium and or iodine. I recently heard antioxidents are needed for iodine digestion. That may or may not be true re iodine & antioxidents. I almost always take the 3 together. Although I have taken just magnesium and it helped. I still chose the 3.

[@RandomPerson-vz2wb]

Due to me being a dumb child I thought fainting was normal and did it a few times a year without ever bothering to tell anyone for years. At 17 I found out that my fainting had probably turned into sezuires over the years. Don't know when, the only reason know I had a sezuire at all was because I had it in public with my mum next to me. My parents didn't know I had been fainting beforehand so it was a shock to them. Recently I've found that I have moments of time where I can't remember anything, for example I was walking towards stairs at a muesum and then suddenly I'm half way down the stairs falling. I don't remember getting to the stairs let alone walking half way down them, I only remember falling. Then, again recently, I was at work talking to my boss when I had an aura and went to sit down, only to collapse half way down and lose complete control over bodily functions, I was spewing and shaking with absolutely no feeling in me, and I was incredibly sweaty despite it being cold in the room. I was fine after about ten minutes but still went home. I find that I'm often dizzy walking around and sometimes have auras with no faints or sezuires or anything afterwards. It's really weird and I think I need to see a doctor, but I really don't want to as my doctor might tell me to go to a neurologist again, which was incredibly expensive to see when I had that sezuire a while back and didn't fix anything last time. All they really did was explain that I had signs of epilepsy, but since I've only had one known sezuire I don't need medication. Still, I want to auaras and dizziness to stop. It's bothersome, especially when I'm with people and don't want to rudely sit down and panic them only for nothing to happen.

[@succondeeznuts1165]

Then go to a neurologist, they are experts at these kinds of things and the fact that you want it gone but dont want to go to an expert is honestly kinda stupid

[@RandomPerson-vz2wb]

@@succondeeznuts1165 I'm a broke uni student working at Mc Donalds. I can't afford to see a neurologist just to have nothing change again. Even if they could fix it, I probably can't afford the medication anyway, and I'd lose my license as well as majority of my shifts (epileptics arent allowed to work nights and that's about majority of my shifts since I'm at uni all day (I also use my car for nights since it's dangerous for me to walk to work when it's dark)). Honestly, I'm kinda just ignoring it for now. The most I've gotten hurt is when it happened while walking down some stairs, and even then I was mostly okay, so while I know it's stupid and I know its dangerous, but I'm kinda just gonna leave it and see what happens. I use public transport as much as possible to limit the risk of it happening while driving, and I always tell people where I am so if something was to happen they'd know where to look for me. It's the most I can realistically do for now.

so today i had a college exercise exam and i pushed myself to the absolute limit and beyond for this pre-exam and i overworked to the point where afterward i couldn’t see, i could barely stand, i had very little cognitive ability and i had gone limp for a second or 2. you know when you stand up too fast and you get dizzy and your vision goes all weird yea that was me for about 10 min straight and i literally couldn’t do anything really after that for about 30 min. i am on a research spree to figure out exactly why and what even happened. if anyone is wondering what exactly i did, i did a 500 meter sprint, 30 push-ups, 10 burpies, 40 sit-ups, and 30 1 second squats. a probably big factor in this is that i hadn’t had water since about 20 hours prior.

Dude i had a college exam and when i got home , i sat down at my latop and then i woke up not knowing what happend , i think i was so stressed that the moment i relaxed i blacked out

[@autumn0-032]

was in the middle of choir and almost blacked out. i managed to sit down before anything happened but man that was scary.

[@ponssales7441]

I black out first time and it never happened again until now. I was under stress that time. I happened so fast but I remembered I had fast heartbeat before it happened and I was calling my brother before I hit the floor. I remember waking up half awake pulling up my pants because I was doing number 1 when it happened, after a sec I’m on the floor again and then remembered my brother waking me up this time. I don’t know what happened. I’m a bit worried. Plan to see a cardio now because my gp told me to get a lab test which went normal even my ecg but not satisfied yet because I developed ectopic beats after this - don’t know if they’re related though bcoz to be honest my sleep patterns did not return to normal due to anxiety. So Help me God

Last week at work I felt weird and my heart started racing. I went into the bathroom and blacked out or fainted. I broke my collarbone and smashed my glasses into my eye sockets giving myself a very black swollen shut eye along with a concussion.. I was taking blood pressure medicine every night as a sleep aid and to help me relax. I went to the ER overnight and got all the tests done. They are still not sure exactly what happened. I do not drink and go to the gym 5 days a week. I have to see the neurologist and I have a heart monitor on for one month. 50yr old male.

What happened to me: I was going to the bathroom, then I saw myself in the mirror but then I started seeing black spots.. then my vision was REALLY bad so I quickly walked to my room and lied down and I started seeing normal again. Then I thought I could go to the kitchen which is downstairs, so I went downstairs, got my ice cream and then I started seeing those black dots again! I went onto the stairs back to my room and lied down, and my vision came back

[@humbertojorge3278]

I almost passed out thanks God

[@kaylebluvsmummy1922]

This morning I was dying my mums hair and I noticed that I didn't feel very great I felt nervous and scared for some RESON and the I felt like I need to sit down as if I'm losing balance so a sat down I started to zone out and I was shaking bad and then my mum said my name and I stoped zoning out so I went outside and started to take deep breaths and everything started to go black like lost of dots or getting bigger but every time I got fresh air that made the blackness go away and I was so scared and I never fainted I'm my life it blacked out never so I'm not sure if I was close to fainting plz tell me what it is cuz I'm really worried about it!

[@phoenixpie462]

Today a few hours ago I was riding my bicycle and was getting ready to cross an intersection with my brother one hot summer day in Arizona (a hot desert) when I started to feel light headed and my hearing started to go as well as my vision started to blacken. It got so black and deaf all a sudden I felt myself fall down and hit the ground. Thankfully my brother and a bypasser saw me and both gave me water to drink and watched me as I regained my consciousness. It all happened so fast. Thankfully I made it out okay and got back up and drank a lot of water.

[@domispablo7992]

Everything was the same for me but i didnt feel anything when i hit the floor. I was fully unconscious by that point i guess

[@victoriabluestone9303]

I Fainted in a chair an almost cracked my head before that I felt super weak and I saw color full dots in my vision

[@christinecampbell7301]

I have vasovagal syncope with a pain trigger. After a work injury, sometimes when I have spasms in my back, I faint from the pain. It was happening multiple times per day before I was diagnosed. I have yet to find another person with my trigger.

[@scousertommy9]

I can sense a blackout maybe 5 seconds prior and I will head for a safe place (a solid structure) to hold onto everything goes black but I can still hear ok and so long as I have my balance ,I will stand for 30 seconds to 2 minutes for it to pass. Now if I faint I will not have any warning just shutdown no arms out to protect just faint and this will last for 2 minutes at least but if I injure myself in falling maybe 20 minutes and will wake up with someone's voice talking to me (paramedic or wife)

[@solarnaut]

thanks... great video... the "more than just medicine" label has me concerned there might be hocus pocus glad to hear your credentials up front.

[@ThatgirlnamedJodie]

I have hypotension. My vision goes to black dots, then goes completely black. My hearing goes fuzzy. I can physically feel the artery in my abdomen pulsating. I’m still conscious until I hit the deck, then I lose consciousness for a couple seconds.

[@faysalanik505]

It about 1 day before. I had my first blackout. Firstly I did know about it. But i never had one. When it happend I started stop hearing and as far as I remember I even can't see anything. Felt like a warm sleep. When I try to remember what exactly happened that time I can't remember anything. I'm able to remember the staring and when I woke up from blackout. I can't remember what exactly was am I doing that time.

[@beekb8399]

In the shower I just stood there in a trance state, so after a few minutes I turned the cold water on to help and for some reason I stepped out then collapsed but I was aware if everything around me. My eyes where closed but I felt like I could see and I became more awake but I just stayed on the ground for a good 40 minutes.

[@shiningglory5414]

I feel like fainting.. as if everything around me as has got weird suddenly but I don’t blackout.. the only time I had blackout was in 2012

[@georgeedward1226]

2 blackouts last 4 years on the street. Both with a fall, head trauma, broken shoulder and memory loss. I've been examined extensively by cardiologists and neurologists, still no definitive answers.

[@ava3.11.10]

I blacked out in my bathroom due to nauseous this morning and fractured my jaw from hitting my face on the sink and chipped my tooth😅

[@tiadaley8825]

Ok I think I just found my doctor.

[@amousrs8140]

Today we went to church to pray and it was so crowded and hot, my eyesight went black and i was very very dizzy. I just closed my eyes because I don't know what to do. I woke up and my eyesight was still a little black. I was so confused.

[@zaza0x985]

This happened to me I was about to play some games so I turned on my ps4 (in the morning) and i started getting dizzy and passed out for 10 sec when I woke up I was on the floor and my keyboard and everything was on the floor.

[@desiflake-vo6zc]

Hi my name is desirae flake and when I was driving out of nowhere my version goes black then it stops and I don’t remember nothing while driving

[@safrinsujana2737]

Thanks for the vdo...I am suffering from this ...I faced it twice😫 my family members are very worried about me😰😰 that's why I wanted to know ,what the reason is...

[@King_Size7]

I dont have any condition with my heart but my hemoglobin levels are down and have experienced the ligh headedness and unwell feeling that i might just blackout or faint any minute. Does my white blood count have something to do with these?

[@mrsgarcia7324]

What about if you are hallucinating some before you pass out? Example I was sitting in a minor medical filling out intake papers which took me a hour to do 3 papers which i wrote nonsense that made no sense. Then i swore my dog was under the next chair last thing I remember I then woke up in a ambulance in route to er i was confused and was told I passed out and couldn’t be woke up . Also before hand my vision was doubled as well
