Fainting spells standing up

Common Questions and Answers about Fainting spells standing up

fainting

Avatar n tn I would say that the fainting was probably due to low blood pressure from standing up too quickly. Most people have a small blood pressure drop when they stand up. If your blood flow isn't great (which I guess in theory could be related to ischemic colitis), then you can often have more of a blood pressure down when standing up, which can make you pass out. High blood pressure medications can contribute to this.
Avatar f tn s the deal, I just turned 14 weeks today and lately I been having fainting spells, It started last week and I spoke to my dr about it and she said that it was normal in pregnancy but I'm really worried and scared now, Today I went to audition for americas got talent and we had to stand in the line and it was really long and nobody came to get me since I was pregnant and I fainted twice on the concrete, The first time my husband caught me and the second time I collapsed and didnt even know it
Avatar m tn Lately, I've been having problems with balance when standing up after lieing down. I become faint and often have to steady myself before moving on. On several occassions, I have actually have actually blacked out,albeit briefly, but nevertheless fell and hit my head. I immediately got up and luckily have not hurt myself. Would you tell me what this is symptomatic of and what kind of physician I should be discussing this with.
364288 tn?1300144506 Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! I just had a quick question for you re: fainting. I've had a few spells on and off nothing to the point where I actually faint but I start feeling like I'm going to pass out. I get sweaty and I feel sick to my stomach. I talked to my Dr. about this and she didn't seem concerned. She said sometimes your blood pressure gets low and it you start feeling that way. Just wondering if anyone has felt like this before? It *****!!
Avatar m tn Hi, I am a 21 year old male who had experienced spells of fainting since 10 year old. These fainting spells occur all of a sudden without me doing any physical demanding activities. I play a lot of sports and I eat healthily. Over the years my fainting spells got lesser and lesser. 2 Months ago, I fainted again. I went for a specialist check up and had a bunch of tests taken. ECG test came negative, Tilt Table came negative. My heart rate is healthy, BP is normal.
Avatar f tn 20 weeks here and I've been having the same thing. It would be low blood sugar or that you just stood up too fast or have been standing for too long. As long as you aren't fainting and you don't lose you're site, you should be ok. If it gets worse talk to your doctor. I almost fainting in hobby lobby whole standing in the check out line, I had to crouch down so I didn't fall over. It was low blood sugar, I was starving. Try keeping some snacks with you.
Avatar f tn This could result in a drop in blood pressure once you either sit up from lying down or stand up suddenly. Please follow up with the cardiologist as this can further result in decreased ejection fraction. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar n tn I in the last 5 months have had several fainting and near fainting spells with all cardiac work ups coming back normal tilt table test was normal other then feeling like I was going to faint.

Avatar f tn He has dizzy spells and often faints. I am terrified that he will end up seriously injuring himself. I am told this condition is normal and that he will grow out of it? I could really use some detailed info.
Avatar f tn Well I'm checking my BP regularly too and it's been normal. The reason I checked my sugar is because I'm diabetic and when my sugar dropd I get dizzy too. I have an appt next week. I'll tell my Dr and see what he says.
Avatar f tn I use to have fainting spells. It is normal to get light headed when you go from a sitting to standing positon, but to pass out regularly isn't normal. You may be dehydrated, or you may be anemic if you are female, especially if you have heavy cycles. This is just my 2 cents based on my previous experience, but I would go to a GYN doc or your family doctor and ask them to check your Hemoglobin, which is the component of the red blood cells that deliver oxygen to the body.
Avatar n tn This is my third pregnancy and I've had fainting spells with my previous two nor while not pregnant. However, recently, I started to blacked out and sat myself quickly to the floor so i wouldn't hit hard and slowly began to recover. I didn't completely faint but did lose control and was sweaty on my neck even in air conditioning during the episode. It was a different feeling from being light headed or dizzy(i have experienced those but not this pregnancy) and scared me to death.
Avatar f tn Since I was about 10 years old I have been having these fainting spells. I never have them sitting down just when I am standing. I feel a pressure in my head, then my vision goes black, I hear a roaring in my ears, and they last for only seconds. When I come back I am slightly confused for a second then my head hurts a little, my heart is pounding, I sometimes have coldsweats, and my breathing is faster. I am 24 years old and in the last couple years they have been getting a little worse.
Avatar f tn After eating the med (magnesium trisilicate, metoclopramide and paracetamol) given to me to ease my discomfortness, my fever had gone down, sometimes i still have dizzy spells (but no fainting), but my nausea and frequent urination doesnt improve, instead the nausea got a little worse. For my nausea, i kept having there's "something stucking" around my chest area. When i tried to expel it out, little blots of white phlegm were seen.
403255 tn?1278813266 Make sure you aren't standing up too fast and that you aren't sleeping on your back at night. Anemia is a good one that is sometimes overloooked so definitely ask your mid-wife if she can check your iron levels.
Avatar f tn I also have fainting spells. They happen once every 6-18 months, and have for the last 10 years...I'm 27. When this first started happening, I had every test imaginable and they found nothing. It's frustrating, but even more than that, it's scary. Last week I fainted from a standing position and smacked my face on the floor, resulting in a busted lip and a headache that hasn't gone away in the last 8 days - likely a concussion.
Avatar f tn Does anyone else have severe dizzy spells. Im 17 weeks and 2 days and since about 14 weeks ive had some odd dizzy spells. Its almost like my blood pressure bottoms outs. My vision gets blurred and my head feels like its going to explode. Sounds are muffled like its coming through water. I get short of breath. It usually happens when im standing. Not all the time though sometimes when im setting. Makes me worry if maybe its my sugar or blood pressure or if its going to hurt the baby.
Avatar f tn A heart condition might be the reason for my fainting spells but why am I getting the severe cramping/spasms? If there is anyone out there who has had similar occurances please let me know. I would rather know than not know what is happening to me.
Avatar n tn Light headedness Falling for no reason Dizziness Sweaty palms Nausea Fading vision Sometimes, people with syncope are able to avoid fainting spells by recognizing the premonitory symptoms and then lying down or elevating their legs. Common Causes There are many reasons why people faint.
Avatar f tn My 14 yrs old has had fainting spells since she was in first grade. Her fainting spells looked like she was having a seizure. After she had several fainting spells, she was tested for seizures but all the test came back negative. About three years ago we find out she has an enlarged thyroid and hypothyroidism. About six months ago, she had a sleep study done because she waking up ever couple hours every night. The study showed that she was having seizures every couple minutes.
Avatar n tn I've never had problems with fainting. I completely blacked out for a minute. I went to the ER, and they did a basic work up, ekg, some blood and urine tests, Ct scan,Cutarad Duplex ultrasound and chest xray Everything looked normal. One week later, it suddenly hit me again. This time my eating and drinking were normal. I was standing on a deck and it started spinning. For several days after that, I would have close calls. Went back to work, and thought it was all better.
Avatar f tn The complex group of symptoms are mediated by the vagus nerve. This nerve is irritated by prolonged standing, standing up suddenly, stress, pain, hunger, dehydration, intense emotion etc. A tilt table test, holter monitor, echocardiogram etc are done for confirmed diagnosis. Discuss this with your doctor. Hope this helps. Take care!
