Fainting, should I tell my parents/doctor?

[Msusalla]

I fainted today at my work, I'm 17, a female, and I work at a pizza place. I was refilling the cheese when I got really really tired, and my vision started blacking out (which is usual if I get up too fast, Ill loose my vision), so I excused my self to the bathroom. When I was there, I leaned my head inbetween my legs to breath, and I started hearing a loud, roaring noise in my ears. I couldn't hear, and I lost feeling in my fingers and stuff. It was getting serious, and I didn't want to disturb my boss, so I walked up to him to ask if I could sit down, and then things get blurry because I don't remeber what happened. I know I was standing there, my vision went, and the roaring was so loud and I couldn't feel my legs or my arms or anything, but then I did kinda feel the pain as I feel. I somehow got up, and I don't remember much. I sat in a chair in my bosses office and I got a cold sweat with dizziness all over. Should I tell my doctor?

Hi msussalla, it all depends like when last did you eat or drink were you coming down with the flu ect all that can play a part in fainting. If it was a one time thing I wouldnt be to worried,that being said that it never previously happend before.There are thousands of different reason for you to acutely faint like orthostatic hypotension,anxiety,low blood sugar, electrolites where depleted , heat exhaustion ect. But you said you get it when you stand up sometimes so it could possibly have be a sudden drop in blood pressure.But if it happens again especeally for no reason at all I would highly recomend that you go see a doctor as soon as possible because there might be a underlying medical cause thats causing it like syncope or heart problems just to be on the safe side have it checked out.
But good luck and I hope everything works out fine for you!!!:-)
