dizziness and fainting.. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hollow · 03-19-2004, 12:09 AM

A few minutes ago i got up to let my cat inside and i got really dizzy, which happens alot when i stand up fast, i think it's because im taking paxil or something. anyway i started to not be able to see anything until it all completely blacked out for awhile.. then i started to be able to see and i realized my arm was twitching back and forth like crazy. wtf.. ive never heard about anything like that happen to someone while theyre dizzy. its amusing though. about a year and a half ago i fainted from being so dizzy. i passed out while i was walking and i continued walking even though i was unconscious until i tripped on something and fell over and woke up.. lol i guess it had to with my subconscious or something. it's fun though. i hope it happens again when i get up.

Paxil does weird things. I almost fainted in the shower the other day. My hands went to sleep even. I thought I was going to barf.

If I don't get enough to eat or sleep, the same thing happens to me.

o0o that reminds me of another experience. about a month ago my dad woke me up and i went over to talk to him at my doorway. i was just listening to him and i got dizzy and everything went black. then i felt myself starting to fall backwards but my foot kept stepping back on its own, i guess my subconcious was keeping me from falling. i could feel my dad grabbing my arm and i heard him saying "whats the matter?" and it sounded like he was yelling to me from far away. and a moment later i regained consciousness. yeah that was pretty weird.

I fainted when my blood pressure was really low and I was dehydrated

Could be that you had a sudden sugar drop.

When my mom had her first seizure, they said it was because of the Paxil she was taking.

That's what the DR told me; while at the hospital they gave me 2 bags of IV's and asked me to stand up, everytime I did my bp dropped and the dr told me that If I was still lightheaded I was still dehydrated, he offered me a longer stay at the hospital but since I had to take care of my kids I had to go . He reccomended to drink Gatorade (which I do all the time) . I also have problems with my sugar and have to watch out for that too

I have benign positional vertigo which causes me to have dizzy spells when I jerk my head, change directions, or whatnot...blacking out like that can also be caused by anemia or low blood pressure.
Make sure you eat enough and stay hydrated.

YAAAAAAY more occurences to add to the list of sarah's favorite dizziness experiences!!!!!!!!

This morning i got out of bed and stood up and i got really dizzy and i started to black out.. i leaned over (that usually helps) but it didn't help, and my arm started twitching back and forth until everything cleared up. And a few minutes ago i got up and i got dizzy again so i leaned against a wall and everything totally blacked out even though i was conscious, and somehow a few moments later i started breathing really hard until i could see again.

So.. so far it's made me black out, faint, fall over, twitch, and breathe heavily. seriously, it's entertaining when it all happens. i wonder what else it could make me do.. *ponders*
