i get a weird sensation then feel like i'm going to pass out??

Question

ok this is hard to explain but.. 3 times in the past 3 weeks i've had a weird sensation where i lose focus and feel dizzy like im gonna pass out.. it hits me and happens really quickly and lasts for a couple of seconds, afterwards i feel a little dizzy and my eyes are out of focus for about 2/3 mins then i'm fine again?? other than this i have no health problems and think i'm fine.. but this has happened three times now and its scaring me a little.. anyone had a similar thing or know what it might be? thanks

in response to xxjuice06... i have had loads of bladder infections too.. could it be linked? I've been in hospital and had my bladder sorted now..

Answer 1

yeah I'm stuck in a similar situation, usually happens when I get up from sitting/laying down, making a quick movement. Everything gets all woozy and I cant really see anything to clearly. I used to be anemic and that had these same symptoms, so I am guessing its back again. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, gonna try to get some iron pills to help. I should probably try eating more. Although I don't have and "eating disorder" per sea, with school and a packed schedule, its hard to make time to eat healthy, or even eat at all sometimes. Simplest thing to do would be to just go in and get a blood test done, if it turns out you ARE anemic, its just a matter of popping an iron pill or two every day. Until then I would advise you to make sure you eat properly. No need to be scared, three times in three weeks doesn't sound TO bad, lol, I was at a point where EVERY SINGLE TIME I would get a shot, I would pass out. Good Luck and if i find out anything interesting from my doc tomorrow I'll let u know, which reminds me I should call and find out what time the appointment is...I forgot!

Of course it's normal it means you have a heart and you care. One thing you can do is volunteer at soup kitchens and donate money to charity. You know I wish I was rich because my family rents two rooms In some ones home. I wish i had my own house that would be nice. I can't afford our my parents can't afford things I really want but it is what it is I gotta live through it and work hard to have what I desire in life. But yeah help the poor trust me it'll change your life. even though I'm poor I still help. I don't have much yup offer but Even the little things make a difference. By the way I just turned 15 and here is one thing that is a fact money doesn't being your family together life experiences such as mine does.

I would go to the doctors about it if I were you.

Meanwhile, I had a similar thing when I had an ear infection, something to do with an upset of balance...

I also suffer with Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) which can make me feel like that too, so it might be an ear poroblem

Answer 4

Yes i have had that for most of my life but unfortunately for me it results in me actually passing out. I have a history of infection of the waterworks so make sure you are drinking plenty first off. I went to the doctors and was tested to see if i had an iron deficiency and was put on tablets so that could be a cause too. I'd see your doctor like i did just in case

Answer 5

Hon, I would really get straight to the doctors about this - there could be so many causes. Most likely its nothing serious, but its always better to get any symptoms checked out by the doc.
Are you eating properly for example?
you do need to get it sorted, i mean what if it happens when you are driving, or crossing a road or out and about in any other potentially dangerous situations? You could fall and cause yourself an injury when you pass out - please visit the doctors!!

Answer 6

I get that when my blood sugar is low. You should check with your doctor though, there is a few things it could be. Anything from lack of oxygen or blood to brain or you could even be having minor seizures. Be very careful when you feel these about to happen and sit or lay down in case you do pass out. Best of luck to you and find out soon.

Answer 7

Low blood sugar, low blood sodium, and low blood pressure could cause something like that. but if it passes by itself then we can fairly surely rule out the first two. Have you tried sitting down suddenly, or tightening your stomach muscles? Either of those things would counteract low blood pressure. I hate to say it, but seeing a doctor might be a good idea.

Answer 8

You could be having petit mal seizures. I used to have them. I woud feel as though I was quite far away or very small in a strange way and would often be unable to speak if anyone spoke to me. It can be caused by stress. I think a visit to your GP would be a good idea.

Answer 9

I get that, I have no idea what it is.

I know it only happens to me when I get angry and want to smash someones face in, i wish i knew what it was as I am worried that one day I will lose it and I won't remember because this sensation takes over.

Answer 10

Sounds like benign positional vertigo but best get it checked out by your physician.
