Passed out couple hours ago?!


Question: I was standing in my kitchen cleaning up the mess I made cooking. And as I was walking to go watch tv I got really dizzy and lightheaded and my legs felt like jello. So I started to head for a chair then the next thing I know I am laying in the middle of the floor and I couldn't feel my arm and I was kinda out of it and my legs could barely hold me up. So I pulled myself to the sofa and called my doctor and made an appointment for tommorow. But whenever I get up I get that same feeling. I haven't had any problems lately and I'm not on any new medication or any foods I have eaten wouldn't do this. I don't understand why this happened to me. I tried to get up about 10 minutes ago to go to the bathroom but couldn't because I was getting dizzy again and I felt like I was going to hit the floor. I don't know what it is if you have any ideas what it may be I'm open to them. As long as I sit still I'm only a little dizzy but when I get up I get extremely dizzy and pass out.

Could be low blood sugar as well as the low blood pressure. I certainly wouldn't wait until tomorrow...I would go to the ER today. Even if it's no big deal, it would be better to get it checked out today. What if you don't wake up tomorrow for your appointment?

Don't wait until tomorrow!!!! Have someone take you to the Emergency room now!!

One of my first guesses is that you have LOW blood pressure. Having low blood pressure causes syptoms like theese. If you stand up real fast and then get light headed, this is caused by the blood not having time to reach all the important areas which cause a lack of oxygen and thats why you get the dizzy effect. But theirs also a brain tumor or some sort of mass on the brain that could also cause theese symptoms

Vertigo or inner ear infection? Sounds scary. Yeah, I would call back and tell them it needs to be today. Maybe go to the emergency room instead.

Go to the emergency room! You coud have something really serious going on.
