Why do i pass out when I'm to stressed?

Question

This has happend to me 3 times in my life. The first time i was really upset and depressed because my aunt (who was like my bestfriend) passed away, I cried until all of a sudden i blackedout and woke up on the floor.The second time i was in highschool and stressed because i was a senior and i had just lost a friend.The last time was today,the past 2 months have been hell for me, my friend just died 3 weeks ago,my boyfriend moved away(we have been 2gether for 1 year and 5months)we are doing the longdistance thing which stress's me out a lot,and last but not least i moved home for one semster to save money and my father has been a jerk the whole time and he makes me so upset that i just want to scream.So everything pilled up and i fliipped out today i was crying and then i got nervouse and i woke up on the couch w/my parents over me and my dad saying that i made it all up and i was pretending to pass out,which normally would make me mad,but i was so drained that i just starred blankly

Answer 1

this disturbs me to hear you fainting as a response to stress. please seek help to manage your stress levels

Answer 2

I can't tell you why this happens to you, but I am interested in your experience, because in the country where I live and work, girls, especially adolescents, often faint as a response to stress. It's very common! My friend, who was a school nurse, often talked about her "fainting girls," and there has been much speculation among us about whether it is real or not, and why stress would be expressed in such a way. If nothing else, your story confirms that certain people respond to extreme stress in this way. You should probably get checked out by a doctor, but be reassured that in the case of most of the "fainting girls" I have ever heard of, it is harmless, although disturbing. Hope things start to get better for you.

Answer 3

i used to do the same thing, i still do sometimes. the first time i did it, i was...about 12, and my parents took me to the hospital, and they ran a lot of tests, and basically the Dr. told me that it is a condition (nothing like a disease or anything) that is dominant in females, and a lot only do it, when they are a teenager, and some just never grow out of it. i didnt, because i still do it from time to time. so, i know what you are going through.

Answer 4

Maybe that is your body's way of saying "enough is enough". It just blanks out. I would see a neurologist to get checked though.
