I just had one an hour ago 😂. I can recall feeling the same exact thing. I’ve never felt so relaxed in my life. The culprit, Robitussin cough syrup. I have slight cold and I wanted to remedy it.

😂😂😂

Have y'all tryed meditation? Very relaxing as well without the injury!

i wouldn’t call it relaxing at least for me, this happens multiple times a day. i guess it could be relaxing but i just freak out most of the time idk. i have gotten hurt and stuff from it so the relaxing part has gone away

Just had two throughout today when I did my blood test for a health screening programme. I feel high woozy and fucking floaty lol

I feel the exact same, happened to me 6 times, the worst feeling I've ever had.

It happened to me the very first time today

Is there a way you deal with it? It’s the same w me :((

@@minty4666 my doctor said to immediately lie down when you feel like fainting, it prevents it by letting the blood flow easier to the brain

Happens exactly how you feel every time I have blood draw

@Cait Gray omg that's so dark😂😂😭😭

A few weeks ago I fainted in front of a bunch of friends. But that's vasovagal syncope for u😅

Sometimes I try to stand there and act like it’s not affecting me but I feel like imma drop right there or I reach for a can to throw up in 🥲🥲

@@goddessinthemachine4252 how are you coping? I’ve fainted 3 times now. Once at work premises and was taken to hospital 🏥

i passed out in church the other day. i don't think i'll ever go there again.

Apologies if I misinterpreted your comment, but to me you make it sound like the brain is trying to get the body to faint on purpose in order to save itself?

Just went through this 10mins ago and it was the most embarrassing moment of my life idk how I’ll ever get over this.

@@riskmakeitlookeasy3266 It happens to me once or twice per year, and as long as you make sure to sit or lie down when you feel it starting, it's no big deal. I may feel a little woozy for about half an hour after I've come to, but when that's gone I just continue with my day

Had it happen when they pulled the IV out donating blood. My BP was very high before I went in so I think that played a role. Kinda embarrassing but I gave a pint and they knew what my body was doing. Luckily

literally me today

Had happened to me like 5 to 6 times just Googled it and found out that this is the real problem until now I thought it's just me who's weak

same my health sir was teaching us the process of mensuration while he was teaching the blood related topic on mensuration suddenly came then i want to avoid it from hearing but suddenly i felt like i am about to vomit , feeling dizzy, and i also heard some loud noises in my ear while fainting and when i woke up i saw that sir was calling me and i was lied down on the surface then i sat under the fan and started to feel better ☺ ..... this was the worst feeling ever i had i hope it never happened again i also tried to fight with these problems but i cant ✌😥

Yeah but I only get it when the top of my head is exposed to the sun for a long time so it gets sooo hot that I get a vasovagal syncope

@@BHM_W luckily for me it doesn't happen

Maybe your blood pressure drops

@@elizarayan2807 Thats exactly it bro! Just more aware nowadays when i feel it coming. Just making sure i take my vitamins everyday lmao

How old are you

Yes it sucksss😔😭

hi, no reason to feel any embarrasment. Good people will always quickly help and there are lots of them .. if someone has any negative thought about you fainting.. well.. its their problem. And then here to same thing as you.. the Vagal syncope triggers the anxiety.. and the anxiety does not make it better.. i would say the anxiety is a perfect system to warn you.. and it is a good habit to accept the anxiety.. and also hear what it wants to tell.. best wishes!!!🙏🧚🌱☘👀🦉

Same. I’ve had the trigger response at least once a year. I just go ahead and sit or lay down. Otherwise I’m passing out.

i get it too bro, what you gotta tell the nurse or doctor if you can lie down while taking a blood test and its way better no fainting for me, stay laying down after for couple of minutes and than get up when you feel ready

@@Comrade2face last time when I gave blood this didn't happened but now I will take care of it

Sameeeeee

I always get vasovagal syncope during blood tests :')

@@Comrade2face yea that does help ALOT

You need sleep

there can be emotional triggers too! maybe this stresses you out to that point?

interesting, i have the opposite, for me its the needle itself. watching the blood coming out doesn't have any impact on the severity of it

I got my covid vaccine today and was absolutely fine until about 10 minutes later, my stomach started to hurt, then my eyes went fizzy, I started to sweat and then my hearing slowly caved in. I was so scared but I recovered quickly and did faint!

i got my vaccine last month and when i got the first vaccine, it was fine, not that painful. then the second vaccine hurt so bad, i felt it go so deep in my arm and i felt like passing out. i laid down and i was shaking and breathing heavily and a few tears came out my eyes, but they gave me some water and i felt fine afterward

I can’t take hot showers or else I’ll faint :/

Changes in temperature, especially cold to hot can cause it, hot showers sometimes set mine off.

I hit my arm on the fridge lightly. What the fuck is wrong with me

Sinkope

Same thing happens to me. It’s happened thrice. Once when I got my nose pierced,once getting my blood drawn, and just last week getting my blood drawn. I never fully pass out but I’m blacked out. Can’t hear or see, heart palpitations, and it is literally the worst feeling I have ever felt in my entire life. Now my anxiety is horrible because I’m afraid of it happening again when I’m stressed.

bacon king sandwhich lmao

"Flopping around and freely using profanities" Dude that has to be the most awesome thing I've read in years!!! I'm definitely gonna have to use that 🤣🤣🤣

the same thing literally happened to me, the room was getting hot, my stomach felt like there was flamming fire on the inside, my face got warm, then i started getting very light headed and my face and lips starting turning white, then before i knew it, i felt sick and started gagging cause i felt like throwing up, but in the end i had to lie down for 5 minutes so the blood could go back up to my head. im better now but thats how i felt during my blood draw

im getting a blood draw tomorrow and im getting so fucking nervous. also you werent being dramatic, its not your fault

Same I'm a med student and I get it from stress and abdominal pain. I feel ya

I’m a nursing student and had syncope from getting my covid vaccine 😅

@@melissahcat123 I’m nervous about that because I had a vasovagal episode after a tetanus booster recently, but the place I’m getting my covid vaccine from doesn’t have cots or anything, just chairs, and when I had my episode I needed to lay down

Same

Happened to me when shaving u cut myself and started bleeding and I was standing and I was taking a hot shower I felt I was gonna faint I got out and laid down until I felt better

MEE TOO

Try looking up Situational Syncope!

ive passed out due to papercuts before when i was in elementary school. i just passed out in the classroom and they took me to the clinic so my parents could pick me up. not fun

Try to get more professional opinions. You know when something is not right in your body. For me, my body does get very hot, my vision squeezes shut, and I try to sit or lie down so I don't fall. But the first time it happened to me I did not fall, my body ran and opened a door to get out of where I was. I had no vision. No idea how my body did that. After it continued to happen, I stopped trying to fight it. Told myself over and over that I was safe, and I rode the wave until I came to again. I've been told I have slight anemia, low iron in the blood, but I've also heard that vasovagal syncope is an emotional response too. Our entire neuronetwork is a system that works together, and I'm surprised that doctors of the brain don't literally look at the brain itself when giving diagnoses. Your heart needs to pump blood to your brain, but if your brain is not accepting blood then would it cause heavier pressure into your chest? If the parasympathetic nervous system is calmed down with exhalation of breath, then when you're unconsciously holding your breath does that make your throat closed off or feel full? Even professionals are going by their memories of the symptoms of what they could mean for you, so it's really with absolutely all the information, the situations that you're in when this happens, whether you've eaten or drank, your family's history if anyone else has experienced this, that could possibly help. But you're the expert of your own body. When I began accepting this as part of the way I live, it stopped being scary because I know it will pass. But if you're scared that it is life threatening then please get more opinions. Bless you 💞🙏

Do you have any advice for overcoming this? I’m a young person that always gets vasovagal episodes whenever I get my blood drawn or an IV put in and I hate it so much. Needles are probably my #1 fear

i get vasovagal syncope reactions pretty often, and my stomach always hurts afterwards and i feel sick the rest of the day, but after resting i feel better

Sammeeeeee I never felt that I fell on my face but I felt the pain afterwards😢

Also everyone is talking about how they cut themselves accidentally but u r different lollll

Look into cataplexy. You may have that

Do you think it could’ve possibly been from dehydration and strong cough syrup. This just happened to me an hour ago and for those reasons. I’m doing fine, however. I have a slight cold and I wanted to sleep comfortably. My mistake was I didn’t measure my cough syrup intake. I just grabbed a table spoon from the kitchen drawer and took it in that way. I guess I took way too much.

oh hell no. im glad my vein isnt that deep cuz i wouldnt be able to take it. i would pass out too

ok?

I’m 40 and this just happened to me today. I have passed out in the past but not for at least eight years and I get my blood drawn two times a year for thyroid. Today I had extra vials taken and I passed out but also had shaking this time. Felt like a seizure. I was sweating and felt like I was going to vomit. Very scary! They told me to always lie down when I have my blood drawn and I won’t pass out (I was sitting today)

Hey I’m 16 and I’ve had this my whole life. It may keep happening but it definitely has got better with age, but yes she might need special attention when getting her blood drawn or a shot because that will cause this in her.

😢

ok its been four months and i forgot i wrote this but ya i have this, also, i ended up with a concussion cuz of this incident. lol.

A lot of things can trigger it like not enough sleep, low blood sugar, heart problem or maybe u just get panic attack

I've never had any warning, Fainted at the top of the stairs and broke my foot. Fainted on the toilet and cracked my head. TWO ER visits.

Yeah you would've. I get triggers from needles, but I also have got them when people explain medical procedures in detail. Usually its the tunnel vision that is the begging of the fainting and if you don't sit down immediately, you will fall. Happens so quick sometimes, but I now know that once I get the tunnel vision, gotta sit. I also get tinnitus out lots of ringing in my ears, sweaty, and tingly.

I had this on the toilet and hit my head bad.

They recommended exposure therapy for me too. For me, it's needles so they recommended acupuncture (lol)

This has happened to me numerous of times. Usually happens when I eat something that doesn’t sit well with my stomach. I start to get mild stomach pain and when I go to the bathroom it starts to get worse and start to feel very faint. It’s a terrible feeling but I just take deeps breaths and eventually it passes. There’s not really a way to prevent it, just to be calm when it happens and don’t stand up or else you will faint! You should also watch what foods your more sensitive, especially capsaicin which is in spicy food.

This is called Situational Syncope, I think. When you lose consciousness after defecation or peeing (heck, sometimes even swallowing or coughing) If you notice it happens again from the same trigger (defecation) you should probably talk to your doctor about it.

I’ve passed out twice while peeing. I think it’s the straining while using the bathroom

me too

something similar happened to me today! I was getting the numbing shots for ingrown toenail removal and by the last shot I fainted. I didnt even get the operation
