Anybody with experience on passing out or fainting?

I have had a problem with passing out/ fainting. I don't know what is causing me to faint. I normally feel fine but the other night I was coming home from work, sat down was just relaxing watching youtube then all of a sudden I just felt super off I felt like I couldn't think at all. I leaned back in my seat and I started to sweat. My hands felt heavy everything was was like weighing down on me I tried to relax myself as much as possible. All of a sudden all the sound in the room felt like it was sucked out of my ears. And all I saw was darkness. When I woke back up I had thrown up on myself and in front of me. The puke was like super foamy.. Not like normal puke. I had no strength in my body to even get up yet. My friend was there we stay in a camper together and he had said something to me but i couldnt make out what he said. I then felt the worst cramps of my life in my stomach. It was like I was having a contraction. It was very painful and lasted about 30 mins. I asked my friend did i wake him up with me puking and he replied that the shaking was what woke him up. I was surprised I didnt remember shaking. He said it looked like I was having a damn seizure. I just really wanted to know if anyone else has a similar story? If you have ever passed out so hard that it looked like a seizure?

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.

@twiigss Im going to get a second opinion but I was just really hoping it wasnt one cause the doctor in the ER also told me that if it was a seizure then I wouldnt have remembered as much as i do. Idk gotta see a brain doctor to get some real answers.

Im glad the medicine is helping you for the most part. It must be so scary to have to go through that all the time!

@Thatonekid236 Well apparently I have grand-mal seizures. So far I've had a total of what I believe is 9 grand-mal seizures since I was 23. I think it's one of the worse kinds you can have.

But now I have a Sun-Sat AM/PM pill box so the forgetting isn't as bad, but it still happens.
