Anybody with experience on passing out or fainting? I have had a problem with passing out/...

Yes, you may have had a seizure. I would highly recommend seeing a neurologist, or go to the ER. I have seizures but I go from being normal to being laid out on the floor having convulsions. No warnings or anything, and they usually happen in the early morning when I'm waking up.

I'm on dilantin and taking the medication completely stops any seizures. Although, I have a feeling that sometimes I have mini-seizures and just don't know it. I've recorded myself sleeping, and it's scary watching yourself move about.

If it happens again, first thing they need to ask is, what is the date, what's your name. Did you lose any body heat? I lose all my body heat after a seizure.

My episodes are different to yours...

I usually start off with a dizziness sensation, then my vision starts to go black - if I don't listen to my body and rest at that point, then I hit the floor.

I have felt sick with it, but I haven't actually been sick as you describe.

It is something that you need to seek medical help with because that sounds like some sort of seizure and only a doctor can refer you to further testing to get to the bottom of what happened to you.

Does being drunk count

I don't faint but when I have partial seizures I loss conciseness for a few minutes and talk a bunch of gibberish. But I do pass out and fall over when I have a seizure.

Is there any chance you're pregnant?

You need to see a specialist and be sure you’re okay 😔

Have you noticed a headache before or after that happens?

Did you get checked for epilepsy?
Sounds like an epileptic seizure that you had
Not a huge deal but there’s meds you can have on hand to help if you have another

As soon as I started reading it i thought seizure.
I’m obviously not a doctor so I can’t say it was or wasn’t brought on by you fainting but to me it sounds like you may have something neurological going on causing you to have seizures.
You really need to get this checked out as soon as possible. To be honest I wouldn’t discourage you from going to the er 🤷🏼‍♀️

The stomach pain and puking doesn't happen to me when i have a seizure.Unless you pulled a muscle in your stomach but that wouldn't go away quickly. Do you get a metallic taste before you pass out?

I don't think I have ever heard of that combo of stuff. Kind of reminds me of a severe panic attack though. But you'd know if you were afraid or not. Are you okay now though? Has it happened more than once?

That's how a seizure is normally described. You need to see a neurologist.
I had several tetany attacks but I never puked or passed out. If doctors won't find anything you could try taking magnesium which helps with tetany but from what you described it sounds more serious.
