I passed out in the morning, I blacked out for about 10-15 seconds. I just randomly feel down and couldn’t see anything ..

Bro I just blacked out but thank god I’m ok

please continue these broadcasts. i have learned and understand so much about my sons condition and mine. some of the scariness of it all is gone. thank you

okay i have a question then. sometimes i will suddenly get dizzy and start tl see spots then my body will start to feel tingly and my legs will just give out the wierd thing is when this accurs i feel like my whole bpdy is shaking for about 3 to 5 seconds caused me to bang my head against a wood floor with a shaking feeling.

I blacked out in Dec and again in March. Then I had almost daily near fainting experiences which were terrifying in their intensity. I finally went to the Doc in April and was diagnosed with 3rd degree heart block. My pulse rate was 28 beats per minute and I drove to the clinic!! I received a pacemaker that same day. I feel fine again.

Thanks for the video, I have just a general curiosity about all things so it's great to see some medical related videos done y professionals, good luck with your channel!

So I've fainted a few times but there have been a few unexplained close calls. The first is when I was 10, we were practicing a song in school and I started feeling really quite weird, I started trembling and I started getting lightheaded. My instincts told me to sit down, so I did and it went away. The next time was when I was doing some charity work but we hadn't even started yet, we were just getting into position, I think this is my closest call without actually losing consciousness, as I could barely walk and I was shaking uncontrollably, even one of the guys I was with asked me if I was okay and remarked that I looked terrible. I got myself to a table and rested my head on it, it took me about 10 minutes to come out of it. I was fine for the rest of the day. The last one I sort of have an idea why that happened, I was coming home from outside and I heard footsteps running behind me. Idk why but I thought the were after m, so I ran into my house which luckily wasn't far away. I went upstairs and got that familiar dizzy feeling and shaking back. So I lay down on the floor until I felt okay. I have a feeling that this was something to do with adrenaline or something like that

I just blacked out and hit my head so bad on the floor. Am here researching what's the reason.

Bro I tried opening my fkn truck to get inside but couldn’t in time and ended up slumped on the parking lot lmao

Great idea you and Simon had to create a channel to help people with health issues but most doctors are more interested in making money. In their defense, most are extremely busy and overworked. There is little value and appreciation for anything free. You and Simon are jewels in medicine and great doctors!

Thank so much for your really informative videos. You put complex problems into language that ordinary people can understand. I shared this today.

Thanks so much for this helpful info. Subscribed!

You're absolutely amazing...Thanks for the wonderful advice.

Thanks for the detailed information! Keep doing good work. God bless you.

I fainted when I was little when seeing blood. I don't anymore but I fainted 6 months ago when one morning I woke up with belly pain and jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet I knew I will faint so I started getting panicked. That's when I lost consciousness, as when I woke up in the hallway the toilet was flushed. The thing is that my brother passed away 5 years ago so my parents have incredible anxiety, so I woke up and I was soaked and they were more terrified than I was. Since I have terrible anxiety and panic as I'm always scared that I will faint. I still struggle with it and I feel like I'm literally going crazy However, reading you stories makes me calmer.

I wish my doctor had explained to me with such detail and care when blacked out. Thank you so much.

Great information. Very helpful. Thank you. I "fainted" 2x a little over 90 minutes. Donated blood about 6 1/2 hours ago.

Fainted first time, I got up too fast after I pooped, then I stretched my hands in the air to yawn, and that's when my heart went bonkers due to lack of enough blood supply. I somehow tried to grab something leaned against the wall and sat down, I was able to see and hear and my legs were moving in funny motion as if they were still trying to stand me up. That made me feel crap to be honest.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

God bless you, Sir.

Excellent video thank you. Any plans to cover Hashimotos Thyroiditus and general thyroid issues?

I am so thank full for your information - thank you.

Thank you so much Sir very knowledgeable video .. Yesterday I was suffering from fainting

very good explanation clear every thing for me

Thank you for your excellent video. My mom in her 80s has been fainting or blacking out so it is helpful. Thanks again ❤

Thank you so much for the information. I have fainted numerous times and what you describe is the exact symptoms what happens to me.

Excellent presentation

I have Endometriosis and have had many fainting spells throughout my life, I have also blacked out...once due to Endometriosis. When I'm going to pass out I can feel it and I get clammy and very hot and feel extreme weakness increase rapidly. I typically like laying on a cold floor to help and tend to stay there for several minutes, if I'm lucky enough not to loss consciousness, otherwise I stay there regardless until I feel strong enough to move. As for the Black out I felt nothing before falling over and didn't even know I was falling over. Lucky I was on the Porcelain throne and I fell over and ended upside down in the tub. When I was coming to I remember my feet and legs had a strong wave run up my legs that felt like they were asleep. When I was coming to in the tub I didn't realize where I was, what happened or anything. If I didn't have my pants down with...Endometriosis evidence about the place I would have not even known how I got upside down in the cold dry tub...

I think I fainted when I was away in college. The reason I say I think is because I got a bunch of different people telling me I blacked out, passed out, fainted. But based on the description in this video, I believe I fainted. I recall the student bookstore becoming unbearably hot quite suddenly, I developed tunnel vision and felt like I was about to be sick and then next thing I knew I was on the floor and a security officer was asking me if I was diabetic or had any health problems. I had difficulty understanding the security officer though because I couldn’t hear him. All I could hear was buzzing and my blood pulsating in my ears.

Thank you. I've been blacking out and your information was very helpful. I will see a cardiologist.

Exactly what I experienced a number of times (albeit infrequent) in regards to fainting. Except before I was always able to sit down and wait it out and never really fainted. Today I was on a busy train when I started to get that hot dizzy feeling, and this time there was nowhere to sit myself to make it stop. Next thing I remember someone was helping me sit down as they made room for me. Kinda freaky, there's like 10 seconds missing there where I must have fell over and they caught me.

This information was invaluable. I fainted, and now know the difference! I shall still get checked out, but now I know the difference between fainting and black outs. Thank you so much.

This was really helpful

great video.

I am so greatful😭😭❤thank you so so much for this video

Thank you for this video. I’ve never fainted myself but have experienced hazy vision when getting up too quickly.

Thank you for posting this. I think I began to faint today at my oldest old school...again. I can’t really describe how I feel or felt in the last but I couldn’t walk, I grabbed something in today’s case the door rail or I’ll hold my hands out. I felt horrible outta nowhere & really hot. I don’t have a history of fainting but have felt the symptoms of it since having my fourth child last year. I thought it was from lack of something to eat but I ate already & had a coffee & Sprite. I feel jittery, dizzy, my speech slurs sometimes, very weak & hot before I officially before I begin to fall. I usually need help getting back on my feet & after a little while or an hour, I feel right again. I don’t really know what causes it other than too hot but today I began to feel too hot because it was too crowded in the school entrance. Too many people & the school nurse made everyone get in the school & away from me so I guess I could catch my breath. My fam & I temporarily live with my mother & she smokes which doesn’t help because I can’t breathe that crap & she keeps the house too hot. Although it’s a little cold outside, this still happened. Idk if I need to go to the hospital when this happens or not

Very informative

Thank you very much for an explanation. You have described my fainting experiences very well. I will be seeing my doctor very soon. In the mean time, more water more salt. Thanks

Thank u for this video, I fainted at school, vision was like blurry and my head was like so dizzy, my hands made embarrassing movements my legs bent and I fell on my friend that was standing in front of me, and I got helped up to the schoo

Thanks 🙏🏾

earlier today, my mom came home and i was walking to tell my mom something. she was in the kitchen, and by the time i reached the dining room, i blacked out, fell, hit my head on our dining room table, and was on the floor. i saw dots in my vision and it felt like i was dreaming. when i came to my mom told me i hit my head and told me to sit on the couch. i drank some water and ate a little, and then i was fine. there was absolutely no warning at all, but i am okay :)

This is crazy because one time in class I ran from one chair to another chair idk y but I did then I was talking to my friend and next second I was on the floor and my teacher was yelling hey r u okay then I got up in my chair and ended up being fine after that.

Thank you for this information! Now I know the difference between faint and blackout. I have a 15 year old daughter who occasionally faints and loses consciousness for a few seconds then gets severe headache afterwards. Does she suffer from vasovagal syndrome?

Last week was my first ever collapse smashing a fan in the process of me falling, having no memory of what had happened. Told me doctor and he said it was associated with a very mild cough. Today have had a bigger fall walking through the kitchen smashing my face into something and cutting my cheek, cut my shoulder up, cut the back of my head. And now can't move my neck properly without pain shooting up my neck to my head and down my arms.

Excellent nformation

thank you

I managed to get through the video, sorry your handsome face was distracting.

This video helped me

Thank u . This is insightful. Mine is partically both. I fainted often but i knew it was going to happen but if i wasnt able to sit in time i completely passed out and injured myself several times. And ive also been out for btwn 5 to 20 mins at a time. So i dont knw where this falls in the spectrum

This morning I didn’t feel well so I got up and I felt like I was going to throw up, then my vision went black(like I couldn’t see at all) and my ears started ringing really loud ... but I didn’t faint completely maybe I was going to... so I just layed on my bed to ride it out ... but bro that stuff was scary

Thank you for the advice sir.. I will drink lots of fluids and salts or juices... I had an episode and quickly went for Hb which I found out to be 12gm.

I was at a softball practice. At the end my coach said, “All pitchers, and catchers MUST run a lap!” So I thought I could run and beat my entire team in my gear, I was a good.. I dunno.. maybe 20 yards ahead? When I looked up at a teammate. I could feel my brain spinning in my head, I could hear my heart beating.. my legs started hurting, I closed my eyes and I guess fell down. I heard another girl saying, “I’ll die with her!” (As a joke) and, “I don’t think she’s okay!” Finally my coaches ran over to me. They got me over on my back and I woke up crying. I couldn’t breathe, and I had a bad headache. On the way home, my mother and I were talking. I couldn’t get a sentence together. Suddenly, it all got quiet. My mom was yelling at the top of her lungs. Finally she put the window down and started tugging on me. Finally I woke up. Maybe 20-30 minutes later we left for the hospital. Everything was normal. I’m going back in 5-6 days. My mom doesn’t know but my chest burns and I have a softball tournament tomorrow.

I've never fainted or blacked out - or even come close.Thank God!

Thank you so much Dr Gupta. As always you are so kind and helpful.

Earlier yesterday, I fainted. I was looking in the mirror, when I felt weird. I held on to the wall and my bed frame. Big mistake. I fell and woke up a minute later. Tbh I’ve never fainted b4 and I think it’s weird.

I first was about to faint at school in DT class "design technology" where you are in the workshop and I was stood up a while listening to the teacher, I felt like everything when blurry and I started seeing different colours and just complete blur before my teacher quickly took em to first aid, and yesterday at my cadets we were doing drill and I started swaying forward and it started going dizzy again then *click* I fell but as I was falling the Sergeant caught me, I don't know if this is normal or what, and when I was in DT I had been un well that week, and at cadets I hadn't eaten much all day, I put this down to the problem am I correct or??

This morning I was dying my mums hair and I noticed that I didn't feel very great I felt nervous and scared for some RESON and the I felt like I need to sit down as if I'm losing balance so a sat down I started to zone out and I was shaking bad and then my mum said my name and I stoped zoning out so I went outside and started to take deep breaths and everything started to go black like lost of dots or getting bigger but every time I got fresh air that made the blackness go away and I was so scared and I never fainted I'm my life it blacked out never so I'm not sure if I was close to fainting plz tell me what it is cuz I'm really worried about it!

Im a braincancer survivor, and when my BP drops I get blackouts, it happened before. Ghee, the way I hit my face against the wall sounded like a gunshot. Thankyou for your insight regarding blackouts. I cycle daily and take care of my inlets

why am i so interested in this

Thank you very much for the information. It is deeply appreciated. Everytime I am laughing I get a funny feeling in my left side of the chest. Yesterday I laughed while standing got a blackout and fell very hard on the floor hurting my head on the right hand side, and it is still swollen. I am booked for a scan of the neck on Monday 22/08/08.

I have vasovagal syncope with a pain trigger. After a work injury, sometimes when I have spasms in my back, I faint from the pain. It was happening multiple times per day before I was diagnosed. I have yet to find another person with my trigger.

This is second time I blacked out, first time I just butted out a cigarette and felt myself lights going out so I called my wife, next I remember I woke on her lap resting, two years later now I had quit smoking for two years and really think my heart is strong, I'm now pretty much a ParaSwimmer hopping for a spot in Paralympic in 2020 and just blacked out again, this time at first I was feeling sick so I thought I would lay on my bed I was alone at home, and after laying on bed all I remember next was waking up all sweaty ⁉️

I love your voice .

Thanks for the vdo...I am suffering from this ...I faced it twice😫 my family members are very worried about me😰😰 that's why I wanted to know ,what the reason is...

Black out once that was years ago i pray that it doesn't happen again .... i was so lucky i fell on my sis feet so no head damage

I was having that blackouts standing then just slam to the floor many times on my knees or crashing through things or landing face first in my food. When that begins occurring frequently i start taking magnesium, kelp vitamins, and omega xl. All on my own i believe it was God that had me take them. Id take them daily until the episodes stopped. Evertime it acts up id take them. Eventually i stopped needing them as often. Maybe due to diet changes such as stopping massive loads of sugar. Idk if the episodes are linked to eating too much at once when constipated or if it was a certain medication i was on. For example if i increased food, dairy (calcium? Like lots of yogurt)or meds or sugars so i figured its a lack of magnesium and or iodine. I recently heard antioxidents are needed for iodine digestion. That may or may not be true re iodine & antioxidents. I almost always take the 3 together. Although I have taken just magnesium and it helped. I still chose the 3.

I overloaded my brain trying not too go into the darkness where it fried my brain and heart and now I’m in fear if I do that’s it.. I feel it in my heart that theirs something wrong... I just got out of the hospital and guess what the first nurse with the finger thing told me my thing was high if it usually was it never is and then once I get back there the nurse stress the pressure arm thingy but I don’t know they didn’t really take a listen to my heart it’s truly sad on how easy they make a dollar and they thought I was crazy by the way when my blood started to boil and once I was falling over that I went into a different realm of state... it was me or the darkness I really had to fight for my life that fried my brain and heart can.... can anybody give me any good advice to get my heart stronger if they’re not going too have a look... My heart can’t handle another one too soon...

Hi, yesterday i think i was fainting but managed to stay on my feet. I suddenly felt very nauseous then all of a sudden my vision went completely black. And after 5-10 seconds faded back slowly. I was very weak and struggled to walk to a seat but once i sat down i started to feel better. Is this fainting? Also i’ve been doing fasting/ eating a lot less calories for over the last week. Could that have caused this?

Hi! I want to ask if the result of ecg is negative is it mean no heart problem? My Dad is in and out of the hospital. And recently fainted 2x in just a week. My family has heart problem history.

I can sense a blackout maybe 5 seconds prior and I will head for a safe place (a solid structure) to hold onto everything goes black but I can still hear ok and so long as I have my balance ,I will stand for 30 seconds to 2 minutes for it to pass. Now if I faint I will not have any warning just shutdown no arms out to protect just faint and this will last for 2 minutes at least but if I injure myself in falling maybe 20 minutes and will wake up with someone's voice talking to me (paramedic or wife)

I Fainted in a chair an almost cracked my head before that I felt super weak and I saw color full dots in my vision

I was sitting on the floor drawing, but when I got onto my knees I got really dizzy, slightly nauseous, ans my vision almost went completely black. But when I was lifted directly onto my feet it didn't happen. What does this mean?

when will you do more videos ..? waiting 😊

I fainted once in school choir in front of everyone for that I was standing for a long time i bumped into my teacher and fell when I woke up I felt down, upset and a little tiny angry I had a little cry

all I felt was a feeling I recognize as a panic attach.... I thought, I haven't felt this in a very long time. Next opened my eyes and my face was on the table. I said, I think I passed out.... my friends called an ambulance. All tests at the hospital came out normal. Now I'm to see my primary care physician and a heart doctor. I felt relieved when you said about the monitor to ease worry. I increased my fluid and no caffeine today. I noticed I utalized the fluid. I've been under hydrated I think regularly

What about if you are hallucinating some before you pass out? Example I was sitting in a minor medical filling out intake papers which took me a hour to do 3 papers which i wrote nonsense that made no sense. Then i swore my dog was under the next chair last thing I remember I then woke up in a ambulance in route to er i was confused and was told I passed out and couldn’t be woke up . Also before hand my vision was doubled as well

In my case There was a warning my heart was racing but I couldn't control my fall and I didn't even knew that I fell down until I woke up.

In the shower I just stood there in a trance state, so after a few minutes I turned the cold water on to help and for some reason I stepped out then collapsed but I was aware if everything around me. My eyes where closed but I felt like I could see and I became more awake but I just stayed on the ground for a good 40 minutes.

Some of the comments on here seem as though you are making fun of situation. I have had blackouts since I was twelve. They have been few and far between the episodes. During the blackout my vision is gone, sometimes I am aware I am falling except I have no control like my legs are like jelly. Always hit my knees on the floor and my brain is aware of the pain, and always once I am in the prone position my vision returns and I immediately am awake. Two years ago when this happened I was at the steps, just two steps, falling my brain registered I hit my left knee. I’m in a crumpled position, awakening when I was prone or down, I knew immediately I had broken my leg. I can have dizzy spells when laying flat too. I just wait through them, last a few minutes to an hour, it varies. Also have visual disturbances can see only half visual field. Half hour is the longest those spells have lasted. All of this is very scary. No one likes to loose control over their body. Especially with an injury afterward. I wish I could see this Dr Gupta .

I have hypotension. My vision goes to black dots, then goes completely black. My hearing goes fuzzy. I can physically feel the artery in my abdomen pulsating. I’m still conscious until I hit the deck, then I lose consciousness for a couple seconds.

Do you think a black out could be caused by low blood pressure or would that be a faint?

I thought that if I lay someone down after they faint they could choke on their tongue, a friend of mine fainted on the bus today, I kept her body sitting up straight and I positioned her head straight against the chair, the woman on the bus splashed a bit of water on her face and she woke up, but she still felt quite dizzy. Is what I did and how I reacted correct? It worked once but I don’t know if it’s right maybe I got Lucky.

Would this be a black out or me fainting? This past Saturday or Sunday I got a sharp pain in my lower back so I set my phone down in front of me on the counter. then I came to on the floor looking up. I don’t remember much other then setting my phone down in front of me.

It about 1 day before. I had my first blackout. Firstly I did know about it. But i never had one. When it happend I started stop hearing and as far as I remember I even can't see anything. Felt like a warm sleep. When I try to remember what exactly happened that time I can't remember anything. I'm able to remember the staring and when I woke up from blackout. I can't remember what exactly was am I doing that time.

You are so so gorgeous!

This happened to me I got up I wobbled side to side and at the same time couldn’t see I couldn’t control anything I fell and I was sweating everywhere my stomach hurt and I just could barely feel anything and I see that there is a random scrape on my arm and I didn’t feel it until like 6 minutes later

This happened to me I was about to play some games so I turned on my ps4 (in the morning) and i started getting dizzy and passed out for 10 sec when I woke up I was on the floor and my keyboard and everything was on the floor.

I suddenly felt really sick and hot so I went to the toilet, I was just standing up and I couldn't see anything, like everything was black and I was so dizzy... I woke up and I was on the floor and my arms and legs were tingling. I went outside and after a couple of minutes I felt fine. I did faint about 3 months ago - should I go to the doctor?

Hi. So yeah when i stand up my vision gets black but i dont faint. But last night was diffrent. Im laying in my bed wathing youtube then i stand up suddenly my vision gets black i hold in my closet to gain balance, well thats all i remember. But when i wake up im laying on the floor and i take a long breath :/ is this really bad?

I dont have any condition with my heart but my hemoglobin levels are down and have experienced the ligh headedness and unwell feeling that i might just blackout or faint any minute. Does my white blood count have something to do with these?

I feel like I have been getting close to fainting. When I drive especially, and more so if I go on the FWY, even more so if I go on a high overpass. I started taking turmeric and have felt a great deal of relief. But still at times start to feel a disconnect between my appendages and my brain. I will start to feel like I might black out. I get off the FWY. I also noticed if I eat I feel better. So I am not allowing myself to go long periods without food.

I have all of the symptoms then I faint but I also have alot of questions Can I collapse because of intense headache? well the pain starts from the back of my head, then some of my friends would try to massage my hands, feets and head and because it hurts so much I fell asleep. I want to know more of how I can avoid this because its embarrasing to faint cuz some of my friends say I acted and just did it for attention. And until now my head feels like its floating please answer this question..

Due to me being a dumb child I thought fainting was normal and did it a few times a year without ever bothering to tell anyone for years. At 17 I found out that my fainting had probably turned into sezuires over the years. Don't know when, the only reason know I had a sezuire at all was because I had it in public with my mum next to me. My parents didn't know I had been fainting beforehand so it was a shock to them. Recently I've found that I have moments of time where I can't remember anything, for example I was walking towards stairs at a muesum and then suddenly I'm half way down the stairs falling. I don't remember getting to the stairs let alone walking half way down them, I only remember falling. Then, again recently, I was at work talking to my boss when I had an aura and went to sit down, only to collapse half way down and lose complete control over bodily functions, I was spewing and shaking with absolutely no feeling in me, and I was incredibly sweaty despite it being cold in the room. I was fine after about ten minutes but still went home. I find that I'm often dizzy walking around and sometimes have auras with no faints or sezuires or anything afterwards. It's really weird and I think I need to see a doctor, but I really don't want to as my doctor might tell me to go to a neurologist again, which was incredibly expensive to see when I had that sezuire a while back and didn't fix anything last time. All they really did was explain that I had signs of epilepsy, but since I've only had one known sezuire I don't need medication. Still, I want to auaras and dizziness to stop. It's bothersome, especially when I'm with people and don't want to rudely sit down and panic them only for nothing to happen.

Okay, but what if I just lose time. Yesterday I woke up and checked my phone, it said, 7:15, I walked up and went to the bathroom and when I turned my phone on to play some music the time was 7:34, I did not do anything but and what I thought was a period of a minute was actually 15??? Last night I was reading and I remember being on a certain chapter, next thing I know I was about 70 pages further in the book with no recollection of what I had read and it was about an hour later which makes no sense. My smartwatch picked up both of these instances and it essentially just said I stayed in the same place at all. What the hell is happening to me?

Well great I’m a child who just experienced a black out

I had chest pain , palpitations..fast heart beat and and few minutes later I fainted for the first time ever .... when I got a a24 h holter test it said siuns tachycardia......... but not sure what that mean ...

I really need to talk to you about my blackouts. Most of the time it's activated by going into grocery stores.

Dr. i need to know why i feel 50% faint when i burp? Is it coz of gastric ? My blood sugar and cholesterol level are normal.

my mom who is 80 years old had three episode of blackout. Her cardiologist and neurologist couldnt diagnose the issue. She did multiple test like holter and loop test but no finding.
