I have passed out at the sight of blood dozens of times over the past 15 years. I don't know that it can be put into words , but I will attempt it. When I begin to faint physically I feel dizzy, cold and hot simultaneously, and mildly nauseous. Mentally/emotionally I feel scared about getting to a safe place like on the floor if I faint. As I faint I get this sickening feeling maybe physical maybe emotional I can't describe it - like my control of my body and consciousness are being forcibly pulled away and forced to "shut down". \nIt is a terrible experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

This is hypoglycemia.  A normal reaction from your body, given your size. You don't have much, if any, body fat, which is the store for sugar in your body.  You must keep some power bars around and use them when you feel like this.  You could actually pass out and get hurt. Hypoglycemia also can alter your judgement.  In severe cases it could unbalance your electrolites.  Be sure to drink lots of water also.  If you just eat a candy bar or soda, your suger will spike and drop rapidly leaving you weaker than before. Good luck and God Bless!\n\nBob K

Sometimes...I feel all tingly...and yeah...numb...if it's been multiples, or a serious workout.  As long as it doesn't last too long, you're OK.

My feet are getting heavy, and I've lost feeling in my toes. What is that odd sensation in my stomach - like rocks weighing heavily?? My back is stiff, so I try to move. Man, my feet are heavy. I move my legs and it's as if someone  tied cement blocks to them. A creeping sensation moves up my legs, and I stop trying to move them. \nMy eyes hurt. My head feels stiff, as if my skin is crunchy. I try to call out, but my mouth doesn;t want to move - like I am wearing a clay mask and it has dried. What is happenieng to me? My fingers are stiffening, and I am now numb to the waist. I can't move my legs!!  I try to scream, but my vocal cords are too frozen. My nose is numb.  My breasts are starting to feel heavy as lead, and I can hardly hold up my head. The numbness creeps downward, and my fingers are like bananas as I try to type. IO amn makl[oing so manny typpos .. I cannnottr type wellllll,... I cannnt breeeaathe .. sdhfgsdajklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

No, but it may mean that you are so excited, the blood rushes from your head and you feel faint or sleepy

You would get dizzy???

Yes, you will get sick before dying, if you even die at all. You will vomit. Yes, you will become very ill. Yes, you will have a chance of dying - but also a chance that you won't die, but will be extremely miserable in the recovery to get better. Don't be so selfish worrying about your own problems. Think about how your family / friends (and don't say you don't have any or you're all fighting, that's a crap reason) will feel when they get the news. It could scar their lives forever. Life's all about obstacles.. If it was easy, then it would be boring. Need to talk about it, feel free to email me.

Grannywinkie, Did you see the question I asked just for you earlier today? I haven't heard from you in a bit and am glad to know you're okay. How are you feeling? Do you have something to eat? \n\nLibby

Definitely Consult a doctor.\n\nHowever... most fainting is as a result of lack of BLOOD FLOW.  This may seem WEIRD... but it's a technique that ASTRONAUTS use and TEST PILOTS\n\nSometimes, due to EXTREME Velocities.. the blood rushes from their brain.  If you think it's EMBARRASSING to black out when your scared... it can be DEADLY to these guys.\n\nHere is a technique.. and I'm NOT kidding.. or being disrespectful.. what they do... when they feel they are getting LIGHT HEADED... is CLENCH their BUTT CHEEK as hard as they can.  (I mean it)... there is a lot of blood in the tissue... that gets infused into your blood stream when you do this.\n\nIt add as much as a few ounces and increases your blood pressure momentarily... maybe long enough to remain conscience...  These TEST PILOTS do it all the time.\n\nI know it sound strange... but it really works.\n\nPLEASE see a doctor.  At 14, nobody should be blacking out.\n\n&tan

First, drink more water. Make sure you have a healthy diet. If you feel like you are about to pass out, sit down and hold your head between your legs. It might be possible you have asthma. You should talk to your doctor.

When I have an anxiety attack, I feel like my heart is going to pulse right out of my chest, I feel like I can't get enough air, I start to sweat, I can't focus on anything (like total meltdown), and I feel like I'm being closed in.  I feel like I'm going to puke, and I feel like my stomach is on fire.  That's what I feel.\n\nThe clinical definition of a panic attack is:\n\nA panic attack is a severe attack of anxiety and fear which occurs suddenly, often without warning, and for no apparent reason. Various other symptoms then occur during a panic attack. These include one or more of the following:\n\nPalpitations or a thumping heart. \nSweating and trembling. \nHot flushes or chills. \nFeeling short of breath, sometimes with choking sensations. \nChest pains. \nFeeling sick. \nFeeling dizzy, or faint. \nFear of dying or going crazy. \nNumbness, or pins and needles. \nFeelings of unreality, or being detached from yourself.\nThe physical symptoms that occur with panic attacks do not mean there is a physical problem with the heart, chest, etc. The symptoms mainly occur because of an 'overdrive' of nervous impulses from the brain to various parts of the body during a panic attack.\n\nDuring a panic attack you tend to over-breathe (hyperventilate). If you over-breathe you 'blow out' too much carbon dioxide which changes the acidity in the blood. This can then cause more symptoms such as confusion and cramps, and make palpitations, dizziness, and pins and needles worse. This can make the attack seem even more frightening, and make you over-breathe even more, and so on.\n\nA panic attack usually lasts 5-10 minutes, but sometimes they come in 'waves' for up to two hours.\n\nWho gets panic attacks? \nAt least 1 in 10 people have occasional panic attacks. The tend to occur most in young adults. Twice as many women than men have panic attacks. Anyone can have a panic attack, but they also tend to run in some families.\n\nWhat causes panic attacks? \nPanic attacks usually occur for no apparent reason. The cause is not clear. Stressful life events such as a bereavement may sometimes trigger a panic attack.\n\nDealing with a panic attack\n\nTo ease a panic attack, or to prevent one from getting worse:\n\nbreathe as slowly and as deeply as you can. Concentrate on breathing. \nbreathe into a paper bag. By doing this you re-breathe your own carbon dioxide. This helps to correct the blood acid level that had been upset by over-breathing which makes symptoms worse (described above).\nWhat is the treatment for a panic attack?\n\nNo regular treatment is needed if you have just an occasional panic attack. You may find it helpful to:\n\nunderstand about panic attacks, and the cause of the symptoms. \nknow that any physical symptoms which occur do not mean that you have a serious disease. For example, some people find it helpful to know that the palpitations or chest pains they had during a panic attack were not due to a heart or chest problem. \nknow how to deal with a panic attack (see above).\nIf you have frequent or recurring panic attacks, this is called panic disorder. Treatment to prevent panic attacks is an option if you develop panic disorder. See a separate leaflet called 'Panic Disorder'.

If you feel like you are going to fall, then your equilibrium might be off.  You should have a physical done soon to get checked out.

First you feel yourself falling like when you have anaesthetic, and you feel weird. Then I saw myself in a narrow tunnel,there was a bright white light at one end and the operating room at the other end. I could hear everything that was being said. Before I was brought back I technically died and could tell everyone after what they said and did and the comments they made...I could see them as if I was looking down the tunnel at them and then when I was coming back I was floating above them looking down as if in spirit...when they were losing me again I was once again in the tunnel going towards the light. I fought to keep away from being dragged towards the light,,it was a struggle, I knew the light meant death and I didn't want to die but I felt lazy and tired and wanted to give up but I had to fight to live because I thought about the grief of my family. It's a feeling of being pulled towards the light as if by a magnet and as if I had a magnet on me and I had to brace myself against the walls of the tunnel and pull back. It was really scary but didn't hurt. If I didn't have anyone or anything to live for It would have been easy to go towards the light because when I didn't fight it I was floating and seeing visions of my life flashing before me. I don't remember seeing any bad things just comforting things and happy times-it was peaceful.

First of all, learn how to type the english language.\n\nWhen you feel dizzy, sit down immediately.  If you're really hot, try to cool yourself down.  Get something cold to drink, like water.\n\nGo see a doctor.  \nI've been fainting all my life so I'm used to it.  Since it's only been happening to you for a month, you need to go see a doctor because something could seriously be wrong.

When I first started getting panic attacks I hyperventilated a lot. My counselor said the only thing that could happen is that I would pass out and start breathing again. That was BAD information. I should have been given medication to prevent attacks.\nYour doctor sounds like a quack, go see someone else.\nIt may take time to find the right medication for you, but you have to keep trying. When you find the right one, you will feel SO much BETTER. \n\nHere is a link for you, I've copied some here for you. Good luck.\n\nWhat Are the Symptoms of Panic Disorder?\n\nSymptoms of a panic attack, which often last about 10 minutes, include:\n\nDifficulty breathing. \nPounding heart or chest pain. \nIntense feeling of terror. \nSensation of choking or smothering.\nDizziness or feeling faint. \nTrembling or shaking. \nSweating\nNausea or stomachache.\nTingling or numbness in the fingers and toes. \nChills or hot flashes.\nA fear that you are losing control or are about to die.

It freaked me out also.  Couldnt move, couldnt do a thing, couldnt even talk.  Just freaking out in my head as I felt this weight on my chest as well, slowly crushing me.
