i feel like im gona faint what could it be??

Answer 1

When did you last eat? it could be lack of food or you might be overheating (see the pregnancy answer cos that happened to me too!)

If cooling yourself down or eating doesn't work you wanna call your doctor and if someone is around get them to keep an eye on you!

Answer 2

There are lots of different reasons why you may be feeling like you are going to faint. A lot of the time especially in girls its due to something called a vasovagal attack. This is simply where the different reflexes that control your blood pressure go a bit crazy, your blood pressure falls and not enough blood gets to your brain so you faint (also called syncope). It's this mechanism that makes people feel light-headed if they stand up too fast, see something that makes them nervous (like blood) or if they just have to stand in the same place for too long such as soldiers on guard. In this case its usually harmless as when you fall over the blood gets back to your brain and you wake up again.

If this is happening a lot it may be a sign you are anaemic which is where the level of haemoglobin in your blood is too low, if this is low you cannot carry as much oxygen to the different parts of your body (including brain) as somebody else mentioned this could happen if you're pregnant(?!) or not eating properly.

If you are feeling faint all of the time it may be due to some other reason such as heart and kidney problems but this is MUCH less likely and usually affects older people. But if you are worried then best thing to do is contact your GP, they will measure your blood pressure, listen to your heart and maybe do a blood test to see if you are anaemic and possibly test you kidney function.

If you are just becoming dizzy every now and again the best thing to do is to lay on you back, with your legs slightly in the air (eg rest them on a chair), that will help the blood get to you brain and stop the fainting feeling

Answer 3

I answered one of your other questions, and having read a few of yours, it's probably because you're not eating. If you stand up do you legs feel kind of weak? Is your hearing going so that you just hear a loud hum/buzz, but it's silent at the same time? Does your vision start to blur and you lose your peripheral vision (it goes sort of grey and your vision is narrowed to a tunnel)? Try to write or pick something up, are you really weak, or your hand is shaky? Feel like you can't move? You're not eating enough, in my experience, and your body is starting to suffer. I don't know the proper medical term, but it sounds like you haven't taken in enough calories recently and so your body is starting to shut down certain parts of it (like motor function, vision, hearing) so that it can keep other parts (your heart!) working. Not a good situation.

Have some OJ. That replenishes you really quickly. Make sure you're getting 3 meals a day, healhthy food, no junk food, cut down on caffeine, sleep (8 hours on average is good). Try to destress. Getting off of the computer will help too. Feel better.

Introduction
Syncope (commonly referred to as fainting) is a loss of consciousness that occurs when you experience a significant reduction of blood flow to your brain. Fainting is often caused by a significant drop in blood pressure or from a very slow heart rate. The result is a sudden reduction of blood flow to your brain, causing you to lose consciousness.

The most common cause of fainting is due to vasovagal syncope. Vasovagal syncope is triggered by a stimulus that results in an exaggerated and inappropriate response in the part of your nervous system that regulates involuntary body functions, including heart rate and blood flow (autonomic nervous system). When some sort of stimulus triggers this exaggerated response, both your heart rate and blood pressure drop, quickly reducing blood flow to your brain and leading to loss of consciousness. A person who has fainted due to vasovagal syncope recovers quickly, usually within seconds or a few minutes.

Common triggers of vasovagal syncope include standing for long periods, dehydration, the sight of blood, coughing, urination, having a bowel movement and emotional distress. But in some cases, the cause of vasovagal syncope can't be determined.

Fainting is common, and treatment is unnecessary in most cases. However, sometimes fainting can indicate an underlying disease for which you'll need treatment.

Answer 5

many things can cause persistant dizziness:

1) Not eating enough in the day causing a sugar flux which means your blood sugars are falling, eat a mars bar or drink lucozade.
2) Unkown Diabeties (The same as the above but a permanent problem not just a one off)
3) Not drinking enough water causing dehydration
4) Unkown Epilepsy

If it happens on a regular basis you need to see your GP

Go to the doctors to check your blood pressure.

If it lasts then you need to go to your GP.

It could be anything - high blood pressure, high anxiety - anything.

There is no way anyone on here will be able to diagnose you so get down to the quacks and be checked out.
