Any1 else fainted?


I fainted half an hour after arriving at work the other day! Ive fainted before, years ago, when i bumped my head. But this was so weird: i just suddenly went hot, n hyperventilated n fainted! I came to and 1 of the nurses was holding me up like a baby! Working at a vets, it wasnt too bad a place to faint as i had plenty of medically knowledgeable ppl around to help! lol! They rang hubby & he came to pick me up & took me to a&e straight away. They gave me a full MOT, which came back fine & said "its just one of those things. Try not to get too hot or tired!!" wtf?? Work told me to take the day off n rest (even tho i felt perfectly fine afterwards).... which involves a lot of sitting down in a dark room....... so we went to the cinema!! naughty!!

I've never fainted in my life but I ALMOST fainted a few weeks back in a grocery store. I suddenly got light headed and felt like I was gonna pass out. Glad you are okay.

nearly fainted twice! once in the queue in sainsaburys, () was at the check-out and just went all dizzy, OH was waiting outside and this really sweet old man (sounds mean, but i don't know how else to put it..) helped me into a chair until my OH came in to check where I had got to, was there for about 20 minutes...oops
and then again a couple of weeks ago in the shower, luckily my OH was with me and caught me...not going anywhere alone now, lol

i fainted the day after i got my landed on my shoulder and hip...everything is tucked up safe in the early stages though so all was fine. I was told to keep very hydrated, wear layers so i can remove clothes if i get to hot, and the min i feel a bit dizzy sit down regardless of where i am lol xx
