it cant be toxic shock because its not when they are in, its when im trying/have just put them in.

Do you get panicky when you are trying to use tampons? I remember that they can be quite difficult to master at first. Perhaps you getting in a flap about it, is triggering whatever causes your blackouts. You really need to go and see the doctor about this. With regards to hitting your head, if you hit it very hard, i wouldn't be surprised if you had a concussion. If you start feeling very sick/dizzy/headachey later on, or pass out again then please go to the hospital. Head injuries are to be treated with respect. Take care x

Get yourself to the doctors. That is a seizure and it's nothing to put on the back burner.
You say your not epileptic, but maybe you are, you just haven't been diagnosed for it yet. Had a friend in high school, she didn't find out about her epilepsy till she was 15 years old.
You should have gone to the dr.'s after your first fainting spell. Fainting is not a stomach ache you can shrug off as the flu, your body is telling you something, so don't ignore it.

This does sound like an epileptic fit, the fact that you were shaking too. You really do need to see your GP and perhaps be referred to a neurologist to investigate this further. It is possible to become epileptic later on in life, or perhaps there is some other neurological explanation. Please do get yourself checked out though as these are quite serious symptoms. Best of luck.

Hi,
i have passed out a few times in my life. Once my mum said I was ridget when she found me and she wasn't sure if i was breathing. I did pass out less than a year ago and knocked my head on the cupboard slightly but when my parents rang my doc she said to call an ambulance or take me to A&E straight away! There was nothing wrong but I do think you need to get checked out and would strongly advise you to go to A&E as soon as possible...even if you feel ok now, because it's much better to be safe than sorry where head injury is concerned. It may be nothing at all but please get checked out.

A long time ago I did the same exact thing, I found out after many tests, I had low blood sugar and because my sugar dropped so fast I passed out. sometimes even having a seizure, First check it out with your Dr. Do some research on yourself, like what did you have for breakfast, do you eat protein in the mornings, that is really important. stay away from sweet things. Hope you get well.

my husband and son both suffer from epilepy and i think you should go and see a doctor just too rule it out they will prob send you for eeg to check your brain activity some times people have episodes like this when they are coming down with an illnes (febrile convulsions) also had you had anything to eat it could be low blood sugar or even a kidney infection you must go to the doctors and take your mum with you so she can explain exactly what happened and how you shook was it a tremble or rythmical dont just let this pass

It's not normal to pass out due to heat or panic at all. I've been in temperatures over 120F (49c) and have not passed out.
You need to see a doctor, and get some blood tests. This can be caused by so many various things, it's impossible to offer any other advice.

I think you should see your GP as passing out is not normal. What your Mum saw could have been a fit and i am surprised she didn't insist you saw a GP then!!!!
Make an appointment with your GP asap. Unexplained passing out needs investigating if it is happening often.
As you have hit your head you need to ensure that you have not got concussion so if you feel nauseated or sleepy then go to A and E and get checked out

When I started to feel like I was going to pass out I went to the doctor and they said that i had Neurocardiogenic Syncope. It pretty much means fainting. They were able to determine that I had it after I did a couple of Tilt Table Tests.

the same thing happened to my boyfriend.. he hit his head on the ground and he was having a seizure afterward.. its best that you go to a doctor and have them check you out to make sure youre ok..so id you were probably having a small seizure afterwards when you feel.. and you should also check out maybe why you had fainted in the first place to prevent this from happening again... just get to a doctor or to an emergency room by tomorrow..
