Have you ever fainted?

[Miss Choccy]

Hi

Once for sure - maybe twice. I know I fainted for sure many years ago - think I was in my pre-teens/early teens. It was in Church - believe around Easter time - scared many people - unfortunately many people saw it since I was a member of the Church's Junior Choir. Remember having trouble finding a hymn in one the hymn books we were using and feeling a bit weak then I fainted. Don't actually remember the actual faint at all though - lol - hard to when you go unconscious (spelling?). Don't why I fainted - I just did - my mom think it was my age! Is that possible? The maybe time is after I felt very weak once when having a very hot shower - I loved and still love hot water - however don't like it near as much as hot as I once did. Don't remember if I actually was still in the shower or coming out of the shower. I was in my twenties that time. Can't remember if I went unconscious - although I can't remember - don't think I did - did feel very weak though. Could that be possible?

Ever since then nothing - since have baths/shower too hot still - however that is becoming less and less. As I am becoming to like them much less - now its more very warm showers/baths.

And yes, I know that people with epilepsy shouldn't have baths. But, can't really stop myself as I do love so much. I know of the dangers of a person having epilepsy having a bath are too. Stupid really I know - I just live in the knowledge that never ever had a seizure while have a bath/shower or while I've been swimming - so might not never happen to me. Plus my epilepsy is in good control - still have the occassional seizure. I do love showers as well. Well do love water really - must because I'm a Pisces - the fishes - lol!!! The good news is having baths less; showers more! Still admit having a bath when I'm cold and need to warm up!

Sorry for this beng so long and that I went way off the topic too - hoping you all accept my apologies for these miscomings!

I have almost feinted many times, after giving blood. I've got a phobia of blood and needles..

Once, I was in Virginia for a Fife and Drum Muster (this is the group I was in: http://www.mountainfifesanddrums.org/mambofolder/) and we had just gotten our new uniforms--the red ones you see there--and they are made of wool. Well, I had just flown in the evening before so I was suffering from jetlag. In order to get to the performance, we had to wake up at 5:30 AM Eastern Time (that's 2:30 for my poor brain, folks!) and I only had the chance to have a piece of pie and a single water bottle until 12:45. It was 85 degrees and 90% humidity and we were wearing wool long-sleeved coats.

The EMT told me my blood sugar level was 60. And then, they had the gall to say "Oh, we figured one of your group would go [meaning pass out] first." SO WHY DIDN'T YOU DO ANYTHING? *eyeroll*

It was a great way to start that 10-day-long trip.

I had a really bad pain in the stomach one time and started feeling nauseous and weak, then I fainted. It was an odd feeling knowing I was fading out and couldn't control it and then I came back...

Yes I fainted in my bedroom. I thought it was a mild tonic clonic. I called my dr. and they told me I fainted. It's a side affect of Vimpat. Only one time though so far.Tell your Doctor. Good luck. Teresa

I found out it was from the vimpat. that I fainted.

When I was twelve I fainted... The doctor said I was dehydrated... And then I've come close several times. After exercise I have had to sit because I thought I was going to faint, once after giving blood I came really close, and then after getting the Anthrax vaccine a couple of months ago.

once when I was sick, I took some nyquil stayed up watching a movie with a girl, the movie ended, and I got up to quick, next thing I know my head was resting in my girlfriends lap, and she was trying to get me to wake up, I remember it was very hard to wake up, I woke up and passed for another few seconds, then finally came too. I nearly broke some furniture falling, the girlfriend said she saw me get up and saw me fall like a ragdoll. I never even felt light headed, or dizzy, it was like someone flipped the off switch.

I guess it was my vimpat that made me faint. I was just standing over the bed. And passed out.Called the doc he said I fainted. I got to get off this stuff.
