Fainting spells

[Emerald_11]

Over the past 2 weeks I have fainted 3 times!!

I sort of know when it is coming on now and if there is a next time I will be sure to sit down before hand so I do not fall and hurt myself anymore.

What happens is I will be just fine and then suddenly my vision will fade until I am completely blind and then I lose consciousness and collapse. When I wake up I feel very confused and disoriented I even forget where I am. It is very embarrassing. Everyone who has witnessed it says I have a frozen face & blank stare & keep my eyes open without blinking for several minutes when it happens.

I went to a doctor and they said it could be diabetes, anemia, or a seizure disorder. I will do all the tests and figure it out with my doctor.

 

 

Has anyone else had similar issues? In your case, what was the health reason behind why?

could this be from simply being overly exhausted? Or from stress?

 

 

They are taking away my driving privileges & its really hard for me at the moment to deal with this.

your doctors are correct in following the most common contributors.

how has your dietary needs changed? that can lead to it too.

 

I still get fainting spells from:sinus infections,low salt intake,poor diet (skipping meals), exertion, and even drastic changes in climate... going from hot rooms to cooler outside ...

let us know how the test goes...hoping its manageable.

Hi Emerald I wish you look with your diagnosis and hopefully its something that can be fixed or controlled.

I hope you get your blood work done/checked.

 

I feel that way when I forget to take my iron tablet.

 

Could be a simple solution. Hope so.

The only thing that has made me faint was being preggy. I didnt know, and i wasnt eating enough. Def get blood work done.
