Common Questions and Answers about Fainting causes
fainting
I had horrible timing with my fainting spells last pregnancy. I was always really sick with morning sickness and once I passed out while on the stairs and fell down half of them. Woke up at the bottom of the stairs so confused. It's an unfortunate thing but also a bit normal. The amount of blood in your body is increasing and that is usually what causes it. If it happens a lot you should definitely go in and get some blood work done.
ve been experiencing a lot of headaches and I have been getting pretty dizzy and lightheaded.. what causes this and what can I do to help with the dizziness.. it catches me off guard sometimes and I worry about fainting..
In this condition blood vessels tend to expand, which leads to pooling of blood in the lower parts of the body. As a result, less blood reaches the brain and this causes fainting. The usual stimulus for this action resides in the nerves of the heart-hence the term neurocardiogenic. A head-up tilt test can uncover the underlying cause of the fainting in this syndrome.
Hi,
Sinus arrhythmia is a normal phenomenon in every child.
I hope your doctor knows what he's doing. There are two possibilities. Fainting after standing for a long time or during rest, is usually caused by vagal hyperactivity that causes a drop in the blood pressure, usually with a slow heart rate. This is more or less normal.
i'm a 51 yr old female who has been having symptoms of fatigue, uncontrollable sleepiness, numbness & tingling in the hands & feet, dizziness with some fainting, nausea, sweating. this has been going on for about 2 months and i'm not getting any better. what can cause this?
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.
t seizure you were having but simple fainting. The most important cause of fainting is the abnormal activation of vagus nerve, which leads to the impariment of the blood supply to the brain. Are you taking some diuretics, hyponatremia can also cause fainting. You might simply be dehydrated. But I think you are most probably having seizures because the syptom of loose bladder strongly points towards seizures. Electoencephalography will help to do the right classification.
for the past year my 18 year old daughter had episodes of fainting, She has seen doctors and had tests done and still no one can tell why she is getting this. is there anything else that u recomend?
My mother has had bouts of fainting and light headedness. Sometimes they come weekly and other times not for 2 months. This has been going on since 2007. She has been admitted to hospital on a number of occasions but each time they have not come to any conclusions as to a diagnosis.
These attacks of light headedness last 2-5 minutes. She slurs her speech, gets pins and needles in her arms, and sometimes but not always faints.
cold sweats, uncontrolable shaking, diarrhea, fainting, blackouts, hear heartbeats, ringing in the ears. what are these symptoms from?
In October 5, 2015, my 15 year old daughter received the depo shot. Two weeks after receiving the shot, she woke unable to move her limbs. She regained movement after a few hours, but one week after that she went numb on the left side and had slurred speech. She was rushed to the hospital because doctors feared she was having a stroke. After having an MRI, MRA, Lumbar Puncture, Ultrasound, X-Ray, EEG, EKG, and lots of blood work...all tests were normal.
I am 21 now and i have been suffering from blackouts/fainting since i was about 14yrs old. At first i was told by my GP that it was hormonal, then that it was something called vagesvagrel syndrome (i think thats how it's spelt). However this last few month i'm still suffering and knew it couldn't still be hormonal, i've had an ECG test done and been told i have an ectopic heart beat but this is not related to my fainting. Do you have any suggestions?
Has anemia been ruled out in the blood work up? Anemia due to heavy periods is a common cause of fainting in menstruating females. causes of leg cramps may be dehydration, dyselectrolytemias, medications like diuretics, statins, an injury like overstretched muscles, shin splints, atherosclerosis of arteries causing claudication pain, deep vein thrombosis, cellulitis, arthritis or gout, nerve damage as in diabetics, smokers and alcoholics, osteomyelitis or corticosteroids use.
It could reveal a number of different causes for your dizziness, fatigue, and fainting (sometimes GI sometimes are even related). These disorders (including vasovagal syncope) are under the umbrella of "dysautonomia" and you may want to post in the dysautonomia forum here on MedHelp to find out more about testing for autonomic disorders as well as the types of conditions that could possibly cause the symptoms you're describing.
I don't have specific experience though I once was advised to get an implantable recorder but declined. The reason I declined was because I worked the problem backwards and decided there wasn't any viable treatment anyway so why bother?.... I wrote down the problem, then wrote down what all the possible causes might be. Say for fainting, I'm not an expert but I know a few things, your fainting would be called "Syncope" correct?
