Fainting in hospitals
Common Questions and Answers about Fainting in hospitals
fainting
My girlfriend suffers from unexplained drops in blood pressure, sometimes causing her to pass out and even stops her breathing. Tests in hospitals in England have come up with nothing but blaming the drop of blood pressure (sometimes as low as 54/47), but can find no cause for why it drops. They succesfully induced the fainting through tests where she had to step up and down a low platform and running on a treadmill, three times resulting in them having to use crash pads to bring her back.
POTS is a hard diagnosis to make, and the mechanism is not understood very well. It affects predominantly young women, usually it is triggered by going from sitting or lying to standing position, which then leads to palpitations, dizziness and, even passing out/fainting. Things like exertion, eating and even stress can trigger theses episodes.
POTS is usually treated by cardiologists specializing in the heart's conduction system (electrophysiologists), or neurologists.
I have had this anxiety since I was a teenager. It first happened when we were at church, but it now happens regularly when I am confronted with certain situations. In short, I faint. I don't know why, but usually it is when I am in an uncomfotable situation (i.e. Weddings, Formal events with a lot of people, etc.)... The weird thing is, it has morphed from 'fainting in church' to 'fainting from worrying about fainting!'... Which is why it happens at large formal events.
I am planning on volunteering in hospitals and shadowing E.R. doctors because I want to become a doctor. The only problem is when I'm in a hospital setting, see blood, or sometimes even talk about gory things I get lightheaded. I don't get "grossed out" by anything like that and I am not afraid of needles.. It seems to be all psychological.
It is very frustrating because as much as I want to be in the hospital, my body doesn't agree with it.
Just go the nearest hospital and tell them your in labor, you have to give them information about the main hospital you get care in for your baby. If they ask you if you planned your pregnancy, you say yes. Make sure you have all your medical papers with you, this will make it a simple for you and them so they can take better care of you and your baby. And make sure you take some baby clothing with you and your baby car seat, show them your serious about your baby.

I have no idea anymore what cause is or what to do. By shock I mean like the heart palpitation was so big, strong, or scary that it scared the heck out of me.
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.
I see that you are in TN. I'm not sure if you are aware, but one of the nation's top hospitals for dysautonomia, and one of the mere handful of hospitals nationwide that has a dedicated dysautonomia clinic is in your state!! Have your wife's docs mentioned referring her to the dysautonomia clinic at Vanderbilt in Nashville? At about a 3.
From the time I was 19 I have developed hives, swelling, and itching when I go into the sun. It doesn't happen every time I'm in the sun, but it's more likely to happen when the sun is shining very brightly. I've discovered that if I can get out of the sun when my skin starts to tingle and burn, the reaction is not as bad.

I Do Not Want Me Nor My Baby Boy Laying In Filth!
If you feel uncomfortable there, don't go there. I know someone who really wanted to deliver at the Zanesville hospital in the state I live in (which would be about a 35 minute drive) because that's where her family lived and she felt most comfortable at that hospital, but her boyfriend demanded that she be taken to Fairfeild medical center (another hospital about the same distance away), but she hated it there. She said the people there are rude and annoying.
It depends on what part of Alabama you live in. Which part are you from?
Hi all. Has anyone switched hospitals in the second trimester? I'm 17 wks so far have liked the hospital I'm at but have heard bad things about birth at this hospital, and another hospital in my area has a much better reputation for birth. Does it really matter so much where you go? It seems like a hassle to switch at this point but may be worth it?
