Fainting when giving blood
Common Questions and Answers about Fainting when giving blood
fainting
And, if by exerting you mean the tense feeling you get in your head when you are, say, lifting something heavy, I sometimes do this a little bit when I stretch, but when I am lifting that heavy object when I am not relaxed, I don't have that problem. It only occurs when I am going from a relaxed to a more awake state. (like daydreaming kind of relaxed, and lower states of consciousness).

i use the VA also but diabetes has always been something they won't let diabetics do. Of course, i'm no Doctor, just another Type 1 diabetic. i can't even tell you about Type 2 diabetics (i'm sorry i referred to people with diabetes as diabetics because there are those who take offense with this saying you are treating them like diabetes is the only important thing in their lives.

I'm 11 weeks and I have been continously fainting at work. I'll lose my vision and hearing and just completely pass out. They keep telling me it's because I'm dehydrated but I'm drinking plenty of water and Gatorade and my blood pressure is very low. No one will really look more into it. I am very scared for my health and about losing my job over it. Please help.

i get that from time to time. i'm 23 weeks and have been anemic with both of my daughters so it's something to look out for...a good prenatal vitamin and ensure helped with mine but when my blood sugar drops chocolate icing helps quickly and it's great if you are allergic to citrus and can't have oj.
s something that I should call about and be seen right away. It could be a problem with blood pressure, blood sugar or a sign of something else. That said, with me it was a problem with blood sugar levels. Drinking lots of water, eating steadily all day with plenty of healthy calories, and not overdoing my activity mostly resolved it. And my baby was totally healthy and actually really strong. It was just me having the problem. So your baby could be fine.
I would call your doctor. I has been quite hot where I live lately and I feel like when I am outside and not in the a/c I feel faint as well, but if it has been a consistent problem and you do not feel it's weather related, I would definitely seek the opinion of a doctor. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!!!
But ever since this incident she has continued to have fainting spells regularly. Since two weeks ago the fainting became frequent and even five days in a row. She has even passed out on the street!!! She was hospitalised for 4 days to run tests. The doctors did a full blood count, MRI, EEG and cardiac check and everything came back ok.
Last night I was standin in the kitchen having a cup of tea and chatting to a friend when all of a sudden I felt really tired and incredibly nauseas, my ears started ringing like i was going deaf. The room got narrow and darker and i felt like i was getting really dizziness accompanied by a sharp stabbing headache...all i could get out was 'Im really feeling sick' and i needed to lay down immediately because i felt like i was either going to puke or pass out.
If a person feels funny or like they may faint, the person needs to get their head down between their legs quickly to avoid fainting. People can faint from sudden drop in blood pressure. If the shower she was taking was hot, it could cause her to faint. This happened to my cousin and 911 was called. The shower was too hot for her. If she does not eat something every two hours (something small quanity) blood sugar can drop and a person can faint.
Hello patient915 ,
No bleeding before or after the fainting. Both times just stood up, took a couple of steps and went down.
When I fainted first in November the doctor said it could be do to my medication for HBP. I decided to lose some weight to try to get off. In January I fainted again. This time I fractured my leg and tore my ACL requiring surgery.(Surgery was in April.) Doctor still wasn't concerned with the fainting.
I started fainting when I was 5 (30 now), due to anxiety... I have fainted at least 60 times in my life since, it's so frustrating. The first time I passed-out was when the monkeys came and took Dorothy and Toto in the Wizard of Oz, crazy I know ~ since then it's ranged from fear of needles, watching other people get injured, getting my ears pierced, seeing a bear rug as a child, the list goes on and on.
I forgot to mention, when I get these headaches my vision goes a little blurry and every time I sneeze, there's blood in the tissue... Is that normal?
