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 Last few days I have been really dizzy. And my blood pressure has been 96/54. I'm 11 weeks pregnant. Any advice please. I'm.
Avatar f tn 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.
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 I have had two fainting spells over the past 5 years where my hands and feet start to tingle before it happens as well as the feeling I have to frequently blinkand my neck feels like it needs to crack, it happened once when I was driving, I pulled over thank god.. After it happens I also have ringing in my ears and sort of the feeling in my head that I was hit with a bat. I have noticed it comes when I have high anxiety or stress.
Avatar n tn I been having dizziness spells after eating. I went to the dr. for chest pain, fainting spells. He order a holter monitor and did some labs, everything came back normal. He gave me some meds. for anxiety the didnt help. I have GERD and endometriosis. I take nexium for gerd. Any suggestions out there? Tired of having these spells....
Avatar m tn The cardiologist has ruled out cardiac reasons for the near fainting spells. They seem to be more frequent and intense during the fevers. Could it be nerve damage related? I've been getting adequate fluid intake, so don't think that's part of it. What other possibilities are there? Also, he was able to rule out heart valve vegetations, clots and infection. None of them are related to what's happening in the nervous system.
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 f tn I am a very stressed 21 yr old female, my body doesnt handle stress well. I have always had moderate to severe anxiety. I had a miscarriage last year and ever since then i have had these "fainting spells" I know before i pass out that im going to, for about 30-45 secs before i pass out i feel like the world is crumbling on top of me, like im being smothered and then i pass out. When I come to I vomit, everytime.
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 m tn After MANY tests (MRI, CAT Scan, Tilt Table, etc) my cardiologist put me on Lexapro, Fludrocortisone and Salt Tabs. This combo has made my dizzy spells and fainting spell manageable as I have only about one per month now. However, we (me and the doc) want to completely eliminate this last episode. Has anyone had any luck with any other meds? I recently tried a beta blocker and had 2 episodes in 5 days, so I stopped it.
Avatar n tn I mentioned to the doctor I had two fainting spells, first was November second was in January. No cause has been found. Could there be a connection? Also, explain colon inflammation please. Is that caused by the colitis? Thank you.
Avatar n tn ve never been the same since. I had fainting spells and had to stop driving for awhile. Finally a doctor told me that they were called vasovagal syncope which has to do with a problem with the vagus nerve. Two months after I stopped the fainting spells I was diagnosed with asthma. I also had a disorder called RSD reflex sympathetic dystrophy which has to do with the sympathetic nervous system located in the spine. I was told that this is the fight or flight system in the body.
Avatar f tn I am a healthy 19 year old female and for the last couple months I get random "spells" I start to feel really weak and then get really light headed and everything turns black. On a few occasions I have actually collapsed and fainted. I've had a event heart moniter but the results say I'm fine. My nutrition is very good. I eat properly. I'm getting very frustrated with this. I just want to know whats happening to me.
Avatar f tn I have always been prone to fainting due to being anemic so easily.. When I got pregnant it got worse and I fainted more.. I started taking iron capsules and pre natals with iron..

Moderate to severe abdominal pain usually after a large or greasy meal.Left eye twitches before and after fainting spells as well as a right sided c-shaped headache that last no more then 20 min and starts behind right eye area.Any help or suggestions would be helpful.
Avatar m tn will i not last that long because of the passing out,i was out for 45 minutes on 15th and 35 minutes, the last time,2 days ago,if i could get the doc to call back i'd ask to move the test up sooner,or should i just wait, and hope i feel better?
Avatar f tn I had one the other day. Not sure if it will happen again. But i heard once uou faint it will happen again. When i fainted theyncalled 911.
Avatar f tn Just before I found out what it was, I already resigned from my work because of lightheadedness and fainting spells. Now, I am only staying at home and I rarely feel that way. I'm only experiencing awareness of heartbeat and palpitations. But sometimes I can't even sleep alone because I have a feeling that I will faint. When I go out, I need to have someone beside me because I always feel that something will happen. And I am also overly sensitive to noise and light.
Avatar n tn My 14 year old daughter has been having fainting spells for about a year now. In October, she was diagnosed with Epilepsy due to an EEG that showed slowing in the left temporal lobe. This was confirmed in December by another doctor. She was on Keppra and then was added Trileptal but kept having spells. So, the docs put her in the hospital for 5 days and weaned her off the medication while on video EEG. She had one episode but it didn't record as seizure so they decided it was cardiac.
