Avatar f tn So i was at the store today, and out of no where i started feeling nauseous and clammy. And then it was like i was in a tunnel and couldnt hear or see anything clearly. Next thing i know im on the floor looking around. So i fainted. First time in my life. Im 16 weeks. Is it normal? Has this happened to any of y'all? And i was down for just a few seconds.
Avatar n tn Cold chills can come from having the flu, or perhaps in your case with the fainting, could be something as simple as you not having enough protein to eat on a regular basis. Protein is like the wood in a fire, it burns and heats up a person. And if you ain't got no fire, you'll get cold. In addition, protein gives you energy, and if you don't have any, you can get pretty weak and light-headed. But there are many reasons why this happened to you, those are just my top two choices.

Avatar f tn I have recently been experiencing a lot of stress and my toes have been very cold and tingling but only in my toes, my feet are warm and I have full feeling.

10131590 tn?1408165341 Ya, I'm just not sure either, I take medicine for my thyroids but just not sure what's going on, I drink plenty of water like 5-6 bottles a day, but when we're at Walmart grabbing some stuff my mouth tend to be getting dry then light headed and felt like I was going to fall so we ate at subway. Feel a little bit better but still light headed....scared I'm going to end up falling or something else happens and my 9 and 7 ur old will be scared and freak out...
Avatar f tn My 17 year old son started having spells of getting dizzy and then passing out, when he comes to, he is out of sorts and the last one fell and hurt his back. Also he has a history of nose bleeds, the doctor tells me this is due to allergies. The nose bleeds did stop for awhile and then these spells started and the nose bleeds have started again. I would appreciate any feed back you might have.
Avatar f tn I fainted about 4 times since my 2nd grade and that was brought about by other reasons like hot weather and being anemic. But that was before and I was completely healthy before this diagnosis. I always had a yearly check-up then. My last fainting was Dec 2007 when I had cramps when I was asleep. My first symptom for mvp is being lightheaded and the feeling that I will faint anytime. My doctor said that it was because of my mvp and also anxiety.
Avatar m tn And today, I was on my way to court with my mom due to missing too much school for the same health reasons, and we stopped at Wendys. As soon as I got my hamburger I ate probably about half of it before my stomach started hurting out of no where, I had no thoughts I'd be passing out.
Avatar m tn The numbness slowly crawled up both my arms, as that was happening i could feel myself getting light headed and nauseous again. My mom looked at me and said i was turning ghost white and before i could respond my vision went and and the next thing i know I'm waking up on the floor. Everyone was freaked out, they said i was out for about 4 seconds. Once i came to after those four seconds, I could not stand on my own two feet, i couldnt even open my eyes this time.
Avatar f tn t faint, just came very close I think and after a few minutes went and sat in a cool tub and felt better shortly. Is this an allergic reaction or could it be just another feeling of faintness??? Also I had a tampon and was curious if it is also a symptom of TSS?
Avatar f tn Also lying down will sometimes raise your bp a little and stop a fainting spell. (I take bp meds and when I was trying different ones and strengths out I had to learn how to equalize my bp sometimes if it got too low.).
Avatar n tn I have copied this out for you, it happens quite frequently While there are uncommon serious causes of passing out in children, the majority of fainting episodes are brought about by reasons that are neither serious nor life-threatening. The most common reason for fainting in children is called vasovagal syncope [VAY-so-VAY-gull SEENK-oh-pee). Vasovagal syncope is an abnormal reaction of the nerves to otherwise normal circumstances. These nerves dictate the heart rate and blood pressure.
492869 tn?1285018933 (They do make those mechanical chair lifts for stairways, and I believe you can get Medicare/Medicaid/some insurance to pay for them if it is medically justified, but I know many are reluctant to get these for various reasons and renters may be unable to unless they have particularly understanding landlords. I have never heard of someone getting approved for this based on syncope rather than a mobility issue, so if someone else knows more about insurance re: this, please tell.
Avatar f tn The main reason for my addmission was that I have recently been fainting and often feel light headed. What is a holter monitior? and most likely what type of heart arrithma do I have or what other problems can be detected by a holter monitor?
Avatar m tn in last 3 months, i get bloated and have a lot of gas and dull pain in the right quadrant. a few hours after meals, it is as if i am pregnant. from my ct scan no problem in the organs in the right side quadrant (gallbladder, pancreas etc). what is the reason for excessive bloating and gas? i get constipated also. after i go toilet, in general i feel a relief. sometimes, i have to go to toilet many times.
Avatar n tn 30% of women will spot or have some bleeding during their first trimester. 50% of those will have normal pregnancies. So, the reality is, yes it could be a sign of impending miscarriage, or it could be normal. They don't really know for sure what causes it, but some reasons can be sex during pregnancy (doesn't cause miscarriage, just bleeding sometimes) as your cervix is more sensitive; your body getting rid of old blood, etc. It is always best to call your Dr. and let him/her know.
Avatar f tn s because I was already 4cm dilated and had moved quickly in a week and I lived an hour an a half away from the hospital

Avatar n tn Syncope, commonly known as fainting, refers to a sudden loss of consciousness, followed by a rapid and complete recovery. There are various causes of syncope, the most common being vasovagal, when your body overreacts to certain triggers (e.g., fear of injury, heat exposure, sight of blood, and/or extreme pain), causing your heart rate and blood pressure to drop, causing decreased blood flow to your brain. In most cases of vasovagal syncope, you have some warning that you are near fainting (e.g.
Avatar n tn He put me on Levothroxine I think this is how you spell it and pig thyroid. 60 mg 2x a day. Well, two years later I was fainting and anxious, grouchy and quite unhappy. I decided to see my regular M.D and she took me off the Pig thyroid but left me on the levothroxine. Now I am feeling better but gaining weight and have really tender breasts. I am wondering is this because she took me off the other drug and this is how my body is reacting or should I see another doctor?
Avatar n tn Hi.. I am 10 weeks pregnant and for the past week I have been getting a huge headache that I get really dizzy and sometimes I end up falling on the floor my question is this a part of the pregnancy ? And can I take any Tylenol or ibuprofen for the pain? It's my first time being pregnant and I really don't know much.
Avatar n tn It is not normal and there can be a number of reasons such as damage to heart tissues, high blood pressure, complication from heart surgery, underactive thyroid gland, medication, electrolyte imbalance, etc. The risk is when the heart rate is slow there exits a possibility there is not enough blood pumped into circulation, etc. If too low you can have a fainting spell as well. You probably should get a doctor's evaluation of your bradycardia.
Avatar n tn I've had my tremors for years since a ladder fell on my head working ! They are controlled with meds but while pregnant I can't take meds. I've had tests and blood taken and I believe the tremors are causing the fainting. I'm 38 weeks should I suggest being induced or take risk of falling again hurting baby....
Avatar f tn I would definitely talk to my doctor fainting doesnt sound normal and make sure you're keeping your fluid intake up.
