Fainting and not eating
Common Questions and Answers about Fainting and not eating
fainting
You can ask for ambulatory (24 hour) blood pressure monitoring as a test for this, or you can get your own cuff at home and check up on your blood pressures before, during, and after meals and show your doctor if you do indeed have a drop in blood pressure that correlates with your dizziness and fainting spells after eating. If you are having syncope at times other than just after eating, tilt table testing may also be warranted.
Also eat fresh fruits bec the release sugar slowly and will help you as well.
That said, with me it was a problem with blood sugar levels. Drinking lots of water, eating steadily all day with plenty of healthy calories, and not overdoing my activity mostly resolved it. And my baby was totally healthy and actually really strong. It was just me having the problem. So your baby could be fine.
I periodically check my blood sugar and it is good. I have had cat scans in the past for this and EKGs, and everything seemed fine at the time. I recently had knee surgery and was told that my EKG didn't look good, but was okay enough to do surgery. I live in a rural community and my doctor is at a loss as to why these happen. I have my thyroid check via blood test every year and have had only 1 scan and that was about 15 years ago.
I am 53 and in menopause and I have actually fainted now while driving. My heart was racing and I had a hot flash and then I lost consciousness for 3 or 4 seconds. Went off the road, through a fence and into a field. Very luckily, no one was hurt. This happened a year ago. Had tons of tests done on my heart, blood work, etc. Nothing found. Now, a year later, I'm starting to get the dizzy spells again (not vertigo though, I've had that before).
Yes!
Yesterday I spent all day inside on the couch, being very inactive. I was not hungry at all and barely had anything to eat, but I felt fine. Today I had plans to go for a run and I know from experience that if I don't eat and drink well before exercising I easily get dizzy and feel close to fainting. So naturally I made sure to eat plenty this morning to avoid this. However, I became pretty nauseous and had to throw up.
home, but still buying food from the same shops as parents, the pain occured even more often, the sugar level started to fall to 70, often after eating I am sleepy, got joints pain, hunger just after a big meal (bigger then before eating), feeling weak, dizzy, fainting at least once and pancreas pain same time. Faeces problem since a year. A lot of intestine gases additionally.
On one occasion I have been eating a normal meal in the city, I was feeling like going to faint.
I went in the shower and felt faint, called for my Mum and after a few seconds I did actually faint and lose consciousness. For the next few weeks I was feeling really tired all the time, nauseated and getting bouts of dizziness so I basically spent weeks in bed. Due to being so inactive and hardly eating I ended up in hospital for 5 days with painful impacted constipation.
The PPI Prevacid definitely helps my irregular beats. My primary care doc says it "quiets down" the vagus nerve. Good luck.
I don't know if I am in the right place for this or not, but I have been fainting since I was 13 (now 30). It used to happen for no apparent reason (not from stress) & I went through many tests (EEG, EKG, etc) before they did the tilt-table test & figured out it was when adreneline was released into my system that heart rate went up/blood pressure down. I was on nadalol (sp)?
I was 27 or so, and it started with a urinary tract ifection that I ignored because I could not miss work. It took a week in the hospital, and more fainting and a second trip to the hospital before I was diagnosed. I had fainted so much, vomiting, tired, etc... By the time it was diagnosed correctly, I was very sick. After the second week in the hospital, my veins were no good and I almost did not recover. Because of that, I was told that I am more likely to have recurring bouts of it.
it mainly happens when i wake up in the morning when i sit up in bed i black out and loose my balance so i lay back down for about a min or two and im able to get up just fine the weird thing is i have not been sick in the last three years and i dont get headaches but it is to the point that im worried that something might be wrong with my iron because the last two weeks i have not been eating properly i am going to have my doc take a look on monday and draw blood to see if it is my iron if you
This is a post from my two others. I've gotten help out of those two but I was hoping if I got some more answers. So recently my friend has fainted, which was a very scary thing. It happened once in October but had no signs since therefore she did not go to the doctor because she thought there was no sense into doing so. But after this faint she has been worrying. Her cycle came a few days later after the fall, does this have to do with anything?

I get really cold and start sweating and everything.g starts going blackand then I'm out and when I come too I throw up and transition between fainting and trying to come back to normal..???
I was advised to take a bit of epsom salt/magnesium sulfate for it and it has been helping a lot. However, the heart racing and pounding have not completely gone away and I've been getting them the most after eating, especially when I eat complex carbs, so I'm wondering if my heart issues could have anything to do with blood sugar levels (or anything related) that could have been caused by any of the meds that I've taken this past year.
Is the pacemaker actually working? Are the settings correct? It sounds like sounds like he may be going into a dysrhythmia and the pacemaker not kicking in, therefore causing him a lack of oxygen to brain so he passed out? He may be dropping his heart rate too low and the pacemaker not kicking in lick it should be, therefore causing him to pass out.
I had no energy til i was about 16w, until then i was exhausted constantly.you're probably feeling more sick now because you're not eating. It sounds silly but although you're sick, you have to keep eating to stave off the nausea.
