What the heck is going on?!
Question: What the heck is going on?
So I fainted at school today.
This is the 5th time I've fainted in about 7 years or so. I'm wondering why this is happening to me. Usually nothing brings it on... it just happens. A few of the times I've fainted (like today) i've been on my period. Do you think this affects it?
I have also been diagnosed with low blood pressure. When it happens, I start feeling sick and dizzy. Then I just black out.
Today I hit my head pretty bad when I passed out.
I'm just curious, do you think my low blood pressure is what does this, or could it be something more serious? Thanks :D
Answers:
sometimes i have felt like im going to faint with low blood pressure. i find eating 5-6 "small meals" (basically snacking alot) helps immensly.
on these days have you noticed anything else they have in common besides your period? im a full time student and have 2 part time jobs so some days im so busy i forget to eat and am just moving so much im wasting energy then i start feeling dizzy and have fainted before. but, it may be your blood pressure.
google head rushes and see if you have similar symptoms. Ive passed out a couple times this year because of them. Drinking lots of water and standing up slowly will help to keep them down.
Head rushes come when the blood rushes out of your head when you stand up.
