Today, all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, I got dizzy and almost passed out! WTF? I've never done this before. I wasn't drinking, hadn't been outside in the heat, totally weird! Anybody ever done this? Should I worry?

Ive passed out 3 times........at 3 different mortuary jobs a ll cuz i didnt have any breakfast!!!!

Not really fainted, but felt weak and fell to the floor though still conscious

I haven't actually passed out, but I've come close. I have hypoglycemia and my blood pressure is pretty low. So sometimes when I stand up, I'll get this whooshing sound in my ears and feel like the room is spinning. It's usually a signal that I need to eat something - like, immediately.

Nope, there was always a reason when I did it. Lack of nourishment plus excessive heat (hot shower, front row at a concert).

I hope you figure it out. It could be something as simple as an ear infection or maybe you're not getting something that your body needs.

Weak pulse probably, if you're young this normal. If you ever actually lose consciousness you should see a doctor.

It can be the result of low blood pressure and sudden movements. If you have low blood preassure and you stand up quickly, you could pass out.

This often is a concern if a person is fasting or on a calorie restricted diet.

That happened to me. I was sitting at my desk, got out, walked two steps and on the lights went out. Hit the fucking door with my face and then when I woke up again it took me a while before I could move my arms and legs. My face kept tingling for another 5 minutes or so.

Chile, I don't know what you're up to all the time, but I get the sense you need to rethink your rock-n-roll life, son!

I have low BP and have to be very careful ... simply getting out of the car and walking into a store at "normal" pace can be too quick of a movement for my body sometimes

Actually I didn't do anything that time. I just got home from the gym, had a protein shake, sat down to check something out on the web and when I got up_________.

Now this other time after partying for 36 hrs straight....

I've passed out from taking two huge bong hits when i was in college and i stood up to leave and just passed out and hit my head on the bed..

I've also passed out from drinking about 20 cups of cheap beer in about 20 minutes at a free cheap beer happy hour once and I woke up in a strange person's car driving someplace I'd never seen before so I jumped out at a stop light and found out I was about 15 miles from where I should have been...

I've also passed out once from drinking and woke up naked on my ex's living room floor...

I've got a few other passing out tales but they get progressively embarrasing.

I've come very close, turns out I have very low blood iron, so I need supplements, or a very tight eating regiment

Cheap beer will kill ya.

But none of this shit has anything to do with passing out for no reason.

I know, Im bored.. just thought i'd share...

I have and messed up my shoulder blade, I still to this day don't know why. Doctors just after running some test and saw that I was perfectly fine.

I read that as fisting.

NO...but my son has. Twice. In school. (This was about 3 or 4 years ago)

Took him to all kinds of doctors and specialists, and no one knows why.

Shame on you.

I have low blood pressure – last time it was tested the nurse asked me if I was OK. When she asked me to stand up to measure my waist (I was doing the whole biometric screening) she was insistent I stand slowly and kept looking at me as if I was about to faint. I was fine. But now that I’m reading all this I wonder how it affects me long-term. Hmmm…

Last weekend, however, I was having a really weird day. Wasn’t sure if it was something I ate or what, but I just felt gross all day and when my bf and I were grocery shopping I had a huge wave of dizziness hit me and I had to hold on to the cart to not fall over. For the rest of the shopping trip all I wanted to do was sit down on the floor and was *this* close to doing just that more than once in the middle of the aisle.

I don’t know what it was but by the next day I was fine again.

When I was in high school it happened about once a month that I got out of bed before I was truly awake and I’d stumble and fall into my closet. My alarm would go off, I’d jump out of bed, take a step or two and then go right down into the closet. I didn’t actually pass out, though. It would just take me a minute to stand back up.

Sometimes when I get shots I pass out... which is strange because they are always after when I calm down, even if I barely notice the shot and it doesn't hurt, I still could pass out.

I get nervous about it sometimes during Ramadan when I'm fasting especially around the summertime with unbearable heat. It worries me a bit because one time I passed out in class during middle school while I was fasting. Not a good day

yeah, i did in my bathroom.I was getting ready to talk a bath and passed out on the floor for about 3 seconds

but i had not ate in like 4-5 weeks

severely low levels of potassium can cause this also.
