Passed out in shower.?!


Question: I passed out in the shower and woke-up on the floor. I hit the right side of my head and banged up a couple more places, but what I was wandering if anyone else has had something similar happen? I still have a headache and feel kinda loopey, but other than that I feel fine. I looked at my pupils and everything and they look fine. I usually don't smoke as soon as I wake up and I did, then I got in the shower and felt really sick to my stomach and the next thing I know I woke up on the floor. I didn't cut my head open or anything it's just a sore spot. ONLY SERIOUS ANSWERS....PLEASE

maybe you did experienced orthostatic hypotension. you did say as soon as you woke up you went straight to the shower, well orthostatic hypotension happens occurs when a person assumes a standing position, usually after a prolonged period of rest/ supine position. symptoms are usually, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurring of vision, and sometimes fainting. still, better check with your doctor he can diagnose properly and identify underlying causes, and also hypotension may not be serious but you might have injured your head by that kind of fall.

I don't know much about you, but you could have had a stroke or a seizure. You should see a doctor at the very least to make sure you don't have a head injury.

ermm.... my cousin had the same, its called epilepsie, go and see the doctor

Go see a doc. They will drag you through a lot of test if they don't know your history. If no insurance is a problem. I'd just be careful. What if this happened behind the wheel of a car? Definetly see a doc.

Do you have a medicare card?
Do you have universal medical cover?
Cause, you need them to gain medical assistance.

were you still drunk from the night before cause ive been there done that
and as for the smoking...
wake and bake or cigarettes?

You should consider yourself fortunate that you're still alive. If that ever happens again, you need to call 911 and get to the nearest hospital right away. I would also consider getting a MedicAlert bracelet put on. This alerts authorities if there is an emergency. Tell all of your friends, family and neighbours you know that this happened. Also, I would see your doctor about this incident as soon as possible.

well i've been really light headed to the point of almost passing out in the shower before, i put it down to kinda overheating due to the hot water, and also maybe inhaling too much steam?

the nicotine from smoking might have added to it, it does raise your heart rate quite drastically but if your a regular smoker i dont know if it would hav had the same effect.

When you loose consciousness, you need to go to the emergency room. PERIOD. The fact that you didn't get a cut serious enough to bleed, or break any bones is not a good enough reason not to go to the ER. Something made you pass out, and that has to be diagnosed, (that's not normal and needs medical attention now) and you are still feeling loopey, and that's an indication of some kind of damage. You can have a degree of damaged brain before your pupils begin to change. If you are not a doctor, don't rely on your own assessment of your neurological health by looking at your eyes and saying they look fine. You've got 2 problems that need absolutely IMMEDIATE medical attention: something made you loose consciousness, and there could be internal injury you can't see when you look in a mirror, like an aneurysm. You could have a hemorrhage in your brain right now that's getting bigger and bigger as you sit at your computer. You want a serious answer; you need to take serious action. Get off the computer and call 911 right now to get to an emergency room. Don't drive yourself, and don't wait, because if you loose consciousness again, you're in way bigger trouble. The fact that you kinda feel OK now should not prevent you from going either. Remember: you have 2 serious problems, and the fact that you are still woozy or loopey means there's probably damage of some kind. Get to that doctor. You could take the time to call your own doctor and loose the time it takes for him/her to get your message and call you back and tell you the same thing, or you can do the responsible thing and go to ER now. And quit smoking.

Please go see the doctor. I had a friend die because he passed out in the shower and no one found him for a couple days. He had a heart condition. There are several things that could cause what you're experiencing. Please go see the doctor.
