Hi i popped a vessel in my finger yesterday while chopping onions turned the whole finger black and it swelled up, later that night went to the fridge for a drink but when i opened the door i went all dizzy couldnt see a thing and then i collapsed was knocked out cold for about ten minutes when i came round i stayed down for ages i physically couldnt get up and everytime i tried to stand i hit the floor again i was sweating very bad and shaking it has happened me once before when i was pregnant with the same symptons... Im 39 always tired always cold but sweat a lot have a thin build and im 5"5 weighing 8 1/2 stone.. It was pretty scary to say the least.

Happy to read you have/are-being examined by doctor(s).

I'm sure they will or have already checked you blood coagulation - your "Protime" or "INR".  Most don't have any problem there, but a vitamin K deficiency can cause it to be too low (higher INR number over 1).  Or if you are taking  a lot of aspirin or anticoagulants... like coumadin .. warfarin.  These are not normally taken and require a prescription in the USA.

Vitamin K comes from lots of foods, including fresh greens as in cold salad and in many cooked green vegetables.  Most mufti-vitamins sold in the USA contain a supplemental amount of K.

Wishing a quick and easy answer.

Hi Jerry thank you for your reply, I did go to the doctor Monday and was sent for a full medical including bloods, a heart trace, a ct scan, Chest x-ray and they all came back clear so im still unsure as to why it happened..

For starters I believe a stone=14 pounds, which says you weigh119 pounds, so it seem overweight is not your problem, you're not underweight either I'll estimate.

I don't see any relationship between the finger and the passing out - and you say it happened before.  I think you need to discuss with a doctor while undergoing a full physical exam with blood tests.
