fainting while kneeling

Should I just give up kneeling at all? Is kneeling while pregnant commonly seen as a bad thing? Should I be asking my doctor about this? For any other Catholic pregnant ladies, what would you do? In other words, help!

I was kneeling and I started to feel really tired from kneeling. Then it was really hard to breathe and I felt like fainting. I was sweating And my fingers were numb. I left the room and sat down and I started to feel better. After that I was scared that it would happen again. This was a few months ago. Now today it happened again but way worse. I was laying down and my stomach hurt really bad and I felt like I was going to throw up.

however, a 10 day course of naproxin and voltaran gel has yielded no improvement. It is only while kneeling. If i continue to kneel on it for more than a split second, the pain persists for 30 seconds to a minute. The pain does not come on while walking up and down stairs, or while running.

My doc said not to worry until 36 weeks. She suggested exercises to help the baby turn. Put pillows under your butt and lay down for a while. Also kneeling with your butt in the air. I've only tried the kneeling one so far but not for every long cause it's kinda painful after awhile.

t just feel light headed and faint. Even if I am kneeling close to the floor I still jerk forward violently and usually hit the wall with my head before hitting the floor. Consequences have been 4 concussions, broken nose, chipped teeth, head lacerations, broken cheek and more. The last time I woke up several minutes later, choking on vomit and lying in a large pool of blood with a concussion, broken nose and smashed face. I started on my knees and ended up across the room.

m not sure what does it but it happens to me quite often. The other night I was kneeling down feeding my cat and it happened and I was feeling pretty brave so I didn't pop up immediately when it happened. It stopped and went back to normal. Not sure if it was just luck or what.

I CAN ICE MY LEFT KNEE AND IT IS GOOD FOR 16 HOURS(I CAN KNEEL ON IT) THEN PAIN RETURNS THAT EVENING AND I CAN ICE AGAIN AND OK FOR A WHILE??? JUST SWELLING AND I NEED TO BE MORE AWARE OF KNEELING ON HARD SURFACES???

Starting my 5th month of pregnancy, I've been experiencing very dizzy spells while working. I'm a cashier at a 24hour pharmacy, so I'm standing in one spot for 8 hours. I get so dizzy at times I feel like I'm going to pass out, this hasn't happened..yet. I spoke to my doctor about it and he said there's nothing I can really do to help it.

what is fainting disease, my son has fell down while standing. He has fell down 4-5 times in last 18 months.while morning school prayer. some dark shadows comes in his eyes & immediately after that he fell down. after felldown he remain unconcious for 30-40 seconds only. Today I consulted with a Neuro Doctor Puneet Syal (MD- Medicine) He told that my son may have chances 95 % of Fainting or 5% chances of Epilepsy desease and he advised MRI, EEG, ECHO & ECG TESTS.

About 5 years ago, I found that kneeling caused a severe cramp-like pain in the back of my calves, also in the back of my thighs. Slowly, this has got worse and for about a year now, some pain is also there when lying down or in the morning. But as soon as I get up and walk, there is no pain at all and I can run and walk without any difficulties. Stretching exercise appear to ease it.

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.

Hi everyone, Last time i was on here was about 2 years ago, well so much has happened, firstly i was fitted with a loop recorder to try and find out what was happening when i fainted then my 17 year old daughter told me she was pregnant, shock wasent the word, i got used to the idea and was actually looking forward to it, she then found a lump in her breast when she was 8 months pregnant and had to go for a biopsy she obviously wanted mum with her so i dragged myself along, just as they were cut

maybe low bp..

In my job, I am on my knees frequently. A few weeks ago I started to notice a pain in my right knee when kneeling. The pain is localized, kind of like a pin *****-- feels more like it is in the skin as opposed to being a bone or joint issue. The pain is not illicited by any manual pressure, only the kneeling, which I do often enough that this has become very frustrating. Your advice in this matter would be very well appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone passed out while pregnant? I had a scare the other day at work. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and it's my first pregnancy. I went to the ER and they ran a bunch of tests and made sure the babies heart beat was ok. The conclusion was that I was dehydrated. Drinking more fluids especially water is so important during pregnancy. They said it's really important to listen to your body. If you need to rest than rest. Lesson learned.

So im 17 weeks and 2 days and I was reading about 18 weeks and it says theres a chance of u fainting bc all of the increased blood flow..

I'm the same, I get terrible fainting spells during pregnancy. I know its not low blood pressure because I've had preeclamplsia through both pregnancies but interestingly my iron levels have been really low particularly this pregnancy. I had an iron infusion last week and haven't fainted since. Maybe get your iron checked?

My daughter passed out while serving mass and fell while kneeling face first on a marble floor. She got a cut on her chin and is complaining of an ear ache and her jaw hurts. She is 11 and she was doing okay but now she is feeling sick.

I recently tripped and cut both my knees - at first I thought that was it and thought the fact I found kneeling painful was due to the open wound. however I now find that when I kneel on my right knee I get a needle like pain - similar to the feeling of a plaster being ripped off my knee on right side. I can run, jump etc but kneeling is excruciating. Can anyone advise if this is temporary - that some rest might fix or could I have damaged something requiring further investigation.

I don't know if I am in the right place for this or not, but I have been fainting since I was 13 (now 30). It used to happen for no apparent reason (not from stress) & I went through many tests (EEG, EKG, etc) before they did the tilt-table test & figured out it was when adreneline was released into my system that heart rate went up/blood pressure down. I was on nadalol (sp)?

You need to get the diabetes treated and get on a diabetic diet. Until you do that, you are not going to feel well. Get tested for Celiac disease while you're at it. Have your BP checked because of that headache you're having. If you still have the dizziness, it may be a middle ear problem. For the constipation, start a probiotic and consider Metamucil and magnesium citrate tablets.

Do not be concerned about this. I am a Muslim, our proper prayer requires us to stand in one spot for a few minutes up to a few hours depending upon how long you want the prayer to be. This is five times a day. Your exact symptoms I have experienced. They are precisely as you say and you do defi itely feel you will pass out. I cannot stand without leaning on something or without moving for extended amounts of time or I will become faint likeand dizzy.
