Why am I fainting?
i am wondering what is going on...
I have random dizzy spells that sometime turn into be fainting.
It has happened since high school and I am now 24.
I can feel when they are coming on. I get all light headed and dizzy, sometimes I feel nauseous. I feel really "heavy", sometimes I hear a ringing in my ear, and other times it feels like I have my ears plugged.
I have fainted a about 5 times in 6 years. I do completly black out, not for too long, when I come to I am shaky and sweaty and feel "heavy".
This is starting to scare me....
Besides this problem I have contsant nausea, but the doc has givin me medication to stop the nausea which is really helping.
Can someone help me please?

I also have the same symptoms and pass out about 1 to 3 times a year for the last 5 years or so. I am now 23. I went to the doctors about it (after the 5th time it occured because I gave myself a concussion) They said it could be a heart murmur or I might have low blood sugar. After testing for both, ekg and such, they say its syncope related to anxiety. I thought that it may be the case but 2 nights ago i passed out in the middle of the night after waking to go to the bathroom. I hit my head, again, and briused myself so bad. After it happens I feel so horrible and out of it for like a day at least. I wish there were answers. I feel so abnormal. I know its not healthy to pass out like this. I mean I eat healthy and I exercise regularly. I have no idea whats wrong with me but I'm scared and wish I knew. Good luck all.
It just happened to me tonight - at the movies in line to get into the theater for a really crowded showing. I was so embarrassed! I didn't have a place to sit down and i knew it was coming and had to go with it. Luckily my husband was there and held me up as i went "blind", then i slid down and landed, woke up and was sweaty and shaky - as usual. This has happend to me only about 8 times in my life and has freaked me out every time and no one has any answers. A couple of times it happend on my first day of my period when i was a teenager - my periods were frequent and extremely heavy, since having changed. Other times it has just happened randomly - at the bus stop for example, another time on the subway. What is this?!?!?!
hey everyone! im glad to know that im not the only one who faints all the time! i get soooo frustrated.
My first fainting spell happened when i was using the bathroom. I didnt have no warning signs tho. I just woke up face down on the bathroom floor. Then i got up and was really confused. I made it about three steps, and fainted again. Still, no warning signs.
The second time i fainted was at funeral. The funeral itself didnt bother me, i was outside talking to friends, had a sip of water my ex gave me, and then i flet weak, dizzy, and nauseas. So i was i ran inside lokoing for the bathroom to pass out. I didnt make it n, but i made it to the door. Face down AGAIN. Then i woke up, went into the bathrom, shut the door, and passed out again.
The third time i passed out was this feburuary while i was working. I am a waitress, and it was one of our busiest nights. While, twisted my knee, had so much pain, and i was carried over to the bench cus i couldnt walk. Well, not even a minuet later, I felt dizzy and i emembr tellin the security guy "im going to pass out" and i kept saying that as i was trying to make it to the bathroom into a stall. While i made it to the crowded bathroom, i remember saying " i need an empty stall, im going to pass out". Then i woke up with a bloody nose, and a massive laceration on my arm, fom falling on the wooden stall door. I tld my boyfriend i pass out all the time, but he didnt believe me untill he saw me in the girlsw bathroom that night. I was confused at first, one lady was holdong my head up, there was a doctor there too. She was trying to talk to me, but i couldnt hear her because of the ringing in my ears. I lookd out of the bathroom door, and i seen all my friends and coworkers looking at me. It was SOOOO embarrassing.
Yesterday really scared me. I was driving from a gas station to work, and i felt very very weak, like how you feel when you close your fists when you first wake up in the morning. I quickly pulled off onto a side street, parked my car and just waited to pass out. I never passed out though.
Ever since passing out at work infront of the largest crowd thathas ever been there, i have been feeling very strange. I think that i developed severe anxiety issues from this. Everywhere i go, i hve to know where a bathroom is, just incase i pass out. I went to the doctors several of times, and they put me on motion sickness pills because they believed i had vertigo.
I cant live a normal life. I stay inside all day, i call off of work, and i dont hang out with my friends anymore, because i am so afraid of passing out. I just signed up to a new doctor, hes suppose to be good, maybe he will find out what is wrong with me. Good luck to all of you!!!

I am 22 years old and have recently been fainting a lot. In the past 6 weeks i have fainting almost 10 times. Just yesterday i fainted in the shower 2x and then when i got to my room again and this happened in a 30 minute span. I have noticed that i have been fainting in the shower..which is not good...i have hit my head several times.
I also know when i am going to faint...i start feeling like i cant breathe...my eyes get blurry...my ears start ringing and my body starts feeling heavy and then i try to quickly sit down before i fall. I am out for like a few seconds and then slowly come back...but after this...my head is pounding, ears are still ringing, i am sweating, cold, and really weak.
I do have palpitations and just been told i have an overactive thyroid. I am seeing an endocrinologist. The doctors put me on a beta-blocker thinking that maybe that will help me from fainting...it did for a while...i have been on this medicine for like 3 weeks now. The thing i didnt understand was that i fainted 3 times yesterday in a matter of 30 minutes. Maybe it was that i didnt recover from the 1st fainting spell but whatever it is its getting frustrating.
I am not anemic...my iron level is fine....i am just so tired of fainting...especially since it has been in the last 6 weeks. I dont know what else to do. Should i just wait to be diagnosed with the right thyroid problem?...or is there anything i should do?...i thought it was low blood pressure since it was always in the morning right when i got in the shower but i thought the beta-blocker would help but i guess its not considering that i fainted again. If anyone knows what i should do next please let me know...i am totally frustrated and tired of it.
PLEASE HELP!!!
