See you DR.\n\nWhat conditions cause temporary loss of consciousness?\n\nTemporary loss of consciousness can be caused by heart conditions and conditions that do not directly involve the heart.\n\nTemporary loss of consciousness is more commonly caused by conditions that do not directly involve the heart. These conditions include those caused by: 1) a shift in body position from lying or sitting to a more vertical position (postural hypotension); 2) dehydration; 3) blood pressure medications; 4) diseases of the nerves to the legs of the elderly; 5) diabetes; or 6) Parkinson's disease. A decreased total blood volume and/or poor tone of the nerves of the legs from these conditions causes a disproportionate distribution of the blood in the legs, instead of up to the brain, when standing.\n\nOther common non-heart causes of temporary loss of consciousness include fainting after blood is drawn or after certain situational events (situational syncope), such as after urination, defecating, or coughing. This occurs because of a reflex of the involuntary nervous system (vasovagal reaction) that leads to slowing of the heart rate and dilation of the blood vessels in the legs, thus lowering the blood pressure. The result is that less blood (therefore less oxygen) reaches the brain as it is directed to the legs. With situational syncope, patients often note nausea, sweating, or weakness just before the loss of consciousness occurs.\n\nThe vasovagal reaction is also called a vasovagal attack. And situational syncope is also called vasovagal syncope, vasodepressor syncope, and Gower syndrome after Sir William Richard Gower (1845- 1915), a famous English neurologist.\n\nBrain stroke or "near-stroke" (transient ischemic attack) and migraines can also lead to temporary loss of consciousness.\n\nHeart conditions that can cause temporary loss of consciousness include abnormal heart rhythms (heart beating too fast or too slow), abnormalities of the heart valves (aortic or pulmonic valve stenosis), elevated blood pressure in the arteries supplying blood to the lungs (pulmonary artery hypertension), tears in the aorta (aortic dissection), and widespread disease of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy).

About a year ago I was under a lot of stress and had two siezures in the same night. My doctor said it might have been stress related mixed with alcohol consumption. She told me just not to drink when I was stressed and I haven't had anymore. Of course, if you have been having them often, I would contact your doctor.

There are so many things that you can do. \nI am having problems with my panic attacks. \nIt got to the point that I would not leave my room only to go to the bathroom and that was even hard. The thing that might help is to go see a Psycoligist or Phycirist. (TOTAlLY MISS SPELLED)\ni have come a long way in just 4 weeks. I am going to wal-mart and eating at small resturants. \nThey seem like they happen at any time. But actually it isn't keep a jounal of you panic attacks and show it to them or you can email me and i might beable to help you. Other things that you can do is learn to breath through them. Breath through you nose and out through the mouth breaht from your stomach. First inhale through your nose fill your stomach hold for 4 seconds exhale slowly then do it again. it will help because when you are having a panic attach the reason you feel dizzy is because the CO2 is stuck and can't get out. REMEBER they are harmless. You may feel like you are going to pass out but very very very few people do email me. eblaziermk@yahoo.com i can't wait to hear from you

Sounds more serious than bronchitis. It could be that you're developing pneumonia. The fainting could be from depleting your blood of carbon dioxide (like when a person hyperventilates), or a thing called the Valsalva Effect if you're coughing REALLY REALLY hard.

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

Good question. You need to find out quickly.\nThere are many causes of black outs or syncopal attacks. \n\nThe most common is a vaso-vagal attack which is induced by stress or fear among others. This is the usual fainting episode most people would have witnessed.\n\nFainting or blackouts can also be associated with urinating, pressure on the neck from clothing etc, some heart problems and it could also be the result of prolonged standing. Soldiers sometimes suffer from this on parade grounds.\n\nThere are a few other causes but the best answer in the light of the above is to see your doctor because he is equipped to find out why and show you what you could do about it.

try to remember all of the things you have ingested in the past 24 hours.\n\ncall your doctor or a poison control center immediately.\n\nif you have been around anyone and your drink/food was unattended, be sure to contact them and ask if they were playing any stoopid pranks on you... (adding drugs or something you happen to be allergic too)\n\nif you have taken any presription or over the counter medication recently, call poison control and get yourself to a doctor immediately.

Many times it's not adrenaline that is causing someone to pass out, but rather when the body processes what happened and the brain panics, it produces insulin to try to help calm you down, many times this insulin rush is what causes people to pass out.

It's nothing you can really stop just lay down for an hour... you need to just prevent it from happening again. Get it all out of your system...I know it sucks but, you will feel better after a little while, and be sure to drink lots of water so you don't get dehydrated! I hope you feel better!!!

Yes it can cause respiratory failure which would result in passing out.I had it happen to me but did get warning signs before it became serious to the point that I passed out. If you get dizzy sit down immediately and begin pursed lip breathing, count to 2 while breathing in and 4 as you exhale and try to think of nothing else but this, if your alone immediately dial 911 if not have someone call for you. Best to err on the safe side if this appears a possibility given how your feeling.  The success rates are pretty high when you reach emergency care. Its quite uneasy but try not to panic , remember the pursed lip breathing and do it .But the overall best thing is know your limitations , an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure regarding this. Don't overexert yourself to the point of dizzyness and see your doctor regarding this.

No, I wouldn't worry. The blood is probably from there being so much pressure on your bowels. I've had this problem, and you should just take a good laxative, like Carters Little Pills. To keep from having these episodes, you should also drink plenty of liquids, water, juice and so on to keep yourself regulated. Another thing, add more roughage into your diet. Good luck!

yes you sure can.  there was a point in my life I was passing out 40-50 times a day for a few min at a time.  I was taken to the er I saw cardiologist and in the end they determined it was all stress.  I had a new baby boy, no money was about to be evicted and just found out I had pre-cancerious cells.  I was stressed to the max and my body couldnt handel it.
