NO Wikipedia articles, please, need first-hand information!!!?!
Question: I'm trying to write the sequal to one of my stories, and my narrater faints, and I have to describe what happens, but I've never fainted before. So I have a few questions.
Do you know when you're just about to faint, right before it happens?
What do you see, if you see anything?
What does it feel like before you come back, before you open your eyes, but you can hear voices?
Are the voices muffled?
Are you dizzy when you come back?
Can you faint again, right after that?
In general, what does it feel like, the entire time?
In general, please describe it.
Additional: My character faints from shock, and over-reactive emotions, it appears.
She never completely got over the loss of someone EXTREMELY close to her.
She'd been suffering insomnia for weeks beforehand.
She'd just come to realize a lot of things through a letter. Important things.
She'd also come to realize her feelings for someone a little before she fainted. What her feelings were, she didn't like.

I have fainted once in the past. It was also from shock. I didnt know i was about to faint. The info i had heard simply was to much for me to handle. I simply fell from what the medics said. From my understanding your brain simply shuts down for a second and then b4 you know it youre back like it was 1 second. I didnt feel anything but i did feel dizzy wen i came back.
I've fainted a couple times. The one that is most memorable was up on a ski slope. It was snowing out and maybe you've heard of tunnel vision.... anyway, I was sitting there watching it snow (I was injured) and just like when a movie ends and the black starts coming in from all sides until it completely blanks out the screen.... It's like you're looking through a tunnel; a round picture that keeps getting smaller until it completely goes black and that's when you lose consciousness.
Yes, you can still hear when you're blacked-out. Yes, I was dizzy when I came back. I imagine you could faint again right away but that is not my experience. It feels like being asleep, I guess. Except you can hear. It's weird, I'll say that! But there's no pain (unless you fall on something & hurt yourself that way).
