Other than Drugs, Not Eating, etc. What can cause blackouts?!


Question: Ok, so, I don't do drugs, I eat plenty, I get a decent amount of sleep (usually), I don't smoke or drink, not under a lot of stress, etc, so, what can cause a blackout? I used to have them a LOT when I was in jr. high, they ruled out seizures and anything to do with cysts or something like that in my brain, they stopped for a good amount of time, but I had one for the first time in years the other day. The only reason I know it was a blackout and not me going to sleep is because I still kept up with what I was doing, only my handwriting became illegible, and I don't remember anything of what was said, same things that happened back in school. So, what could be causing this? Doctors were NO HELP then, so unless it becomes a steady thing, I would rather just try to figure it out on my own and see if I can prevent it myself.

Certain types of vitamin deficiencies, neurological disorders, severe anxiety attacks, metabolic disorders, and several other things.

You should see a different doctor or a specialist like a neurologist or endocrinologist.

Thyroid condition, seizures, diabetes, heart disease, neurological disease, etc. You should get a second opinion. . . a third if you have to. Good Luck!
