fainting no warning

ve never fainted before and had no signs that or warning symptoms, no dizziness before or after. I woke, stood u and felt fine, just very sore. I am concerned that this could happen again in more dangerous circumstances.

I have no warning...no woozy, dizzy, tired, weird, strange anything feelings. The last one I was stirring soup on the stove, and then smack...my face on the ceramic, blood everywhere. Very terrifying. The ER doc and the Neurologist who then took the case, have told me that they definitely believe that something is going on, but what, they do not know yet. The Neurologist said he believes it is originating from either my brain or my mid-spine....so not my neck or lumbar regions.

Hello AlanK We are volunteers here & not medical professionals. We do have a lot of experience with Type 1, however. I have read that in the years leading up to a diagnosis of diabetes, some individuals experience the condition of hypoglycemia. Some folks have chronic hypoglycemia, in which their bodies respond to glucose with an oversupply of insulin. In others, this condition seems to be present for a while before diabetes develops.

Hi there, I am a 36 year old single woman who has always suffered from severely painful periods that sometimes include fainting. Just yesterday it happened again. This time though, it came suddenly. No pain, no warning. I AM due to get my period but haven't gotten it yet. But, yesterday i had a sudden fainting spell followed by about 20 minutes of torturous pain. I am not on birth control and have not have kids yet... I have made an appt. with both my gyno and doctor. What is up with me?

no warning just all of sudden cold chills that lasted all day and fainted later on that evening

In older people when their heart stops, they immediately fall down (no warning signs). This has happened to people in our family and the fall started their heart again. She should have her iron checked to make sure that she is not anemic. If she keeps fainting, it would be good to get her heart checked out just to be safe.

ve been having a flare of my symptoms, and Monday at work I stood up from my chair, took a step, and completely blacked out. No warning at all. On my way of falling to the floor, I smashed my forehead on a desk, my chin on the desk,the back of my head on another desk, then a cubicle wall, then smashed my back into the edge of a desk, finally smashing the back of my head again on the wheel of a chair. Needless to say, I don't remember ten minutes before the event at all.

On Jan 19th, 2012, my 5 year old son broke his arm, not sure what I was thinking, but I put him in the van and started to drive to the hospital. I had almost NO WARNING before I passed out at the wheel on a busy parkway, crashed 4 times, completely unconcious on the steering wheel. While no one was hurt, I know we are very fortunate to be alive! I'm so concerned about my future with this condition, if you learn anything new from doctors, please send me a message!

I’ve fainted 2 times in a 10 month period without any prior warning. The last event I had two blackouts meaning I had about a 2-3 minute period where I’m completely conscious, walking and talking, without having any memory of that 2-3 minute period. I have one cardiologist who’s suggesting a pacemaker, an EP who is absolutely against it and says it was a simple vasalvagal episode, and my PCP suggests I see a neurologist assuming I’m having seizures. Who am I to trust or see?

I try to tell them this is more than fainting spells, but they have never seen it happen, so they say she is just fainting. I captured it on video a few days ago to show the neurologist. She is also bipolar and on medication for that. It looks like seizures to me, but i'm not a doctor. What could this be????

My PCP and cardiologist feel there is no correlation to NCS and being in a pressurized cabin. Is there anyone here on the board who has had a similar experience as a passenger?

It could also be a TIA. Here's what Google shows in an early listing ... Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) A TIA is a "warning stroke" or "mini-stroke" that produces stroke-like symptoms but ... Unlike stroke, when a TIA is over, there's no injury to the brain I would mention it to the doctor. Carcinista could easily be correct also.

Fainting – Syncope Fainting related to a heart rhythm disorder is more likely to happen suddenly and without warning than fainting related to other causes, such as dehydration or low blood sugar. Any sudden lose of consciousness should be evaluated by a physician. In some cases, fainting is the only warning sign of an arrhythmia that could cause sudden cardiac arrest. Hope this provides a perspective and helps you in consultation with your doctor.

Not only that, but nausea can be a symptom of low blood pressure, thus a warning to a pending fainting episode. You may want to visit a Gastrointestinal Specialist to check for Gastroparesis (Delayed Gastric Emptying), and other digestive problems. IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is also common in Dysautonomia.

It sounds like your son's pediatrician needs to be advised it's time to retire before he might endanger someone's life with an improper prescription. Have you reported the errors to anyone (aside from the doctor)? As a student nurse, the first patient I took care of was someone who had been prescribed an overdose of medication and it wound up being life-threatening. I think the patient was planning to sue after he got out of the hospital.

When it started happening to me I could always feel it coming on but had no control and no idea what was going on. 1st symptom I would get was like zigzags in my eyes, which would turn to whiteout to tunnel vision, severe nausea, sweating, feel like I was going to lose control of my bowels and this happened twice when I was driving. Thank God I felt it coming and was able to pull over.

With the frequent fainting episodes often associated with Autonomic Dysfunction, I'd appreciate some insight from the community on how to prevent injuries. I, (like many here I'd assume), have had multiple head injuries resulting from my faints. I've fallen into furniture, down flights of stairs, etc. It's a concern of mine, even more so after my most recent head injury. Last summer a couple of us posted ideas about tolerating the summertime heat.

I have had several episodes of fainting. There is no consistency to the triggers. It has happened while eating dinner, felt nauseated, began sweating (cold), visual disturbance, lightheadedness, got down on the floor and then passed out. It awakened me at night once - felt nauseated, went to the bathroom, fainted while on the toilet (although not straining). It happens about every 4-6 months. Where should I start to have this checked out?

I am halfway into a 30 day heart monitor due 2 syncope that I have had within a 9 month period, which occur without warning and I have blackouts that follow the fainting. I do see when my monitor has recorded events throughout the day, but should I be concerned that events are being recorded at all? Do the recorded events mean that the Monitor has pick something up and therefore I should be concerned?

i went to the nurse and i could feel weird tickling sensations inside of my head. i thnk i was on the merdge of passing out or fainting. it might have been cuz im dehydrated or hungry cuz i usualy dont eat much for lunch. i was wondering if i did have an ulcer or some kind of bleeding problem, do u think nearly fainting could have caused it? if so what should i do?

When I was 21 I fainted for the first time, while sitting down at my computer surfing the web. I did not feel anything coming on. They ruled out seizures at a neurologist. A few months later I fainted washing my face, standing up in the bathroom. I felt no warning. I didn't go to the ER, and my family doctor told me that since I'd just gone to the bathroom it had been caused by that.

- I have MVP too and find that taking CoQ10 makes the heart stronger. - You say you have no appetite, perhaps a milk shake or an instant breakfast can help you with this.

In most cases of vasovagal syncope, you have some warning that you are near fainting. These signs include "tunnel-like" vision, nausea, dizziness, pale skin, feeling hot or cold, and/or sweating. A vasovagal episode usually is not anything to worry about, as long as your doctors have ruled out other more serious causes. If you experience a vasovagal episode, lie on your back and elevate your legs with pillows to increase blood flow to your brain.
