Does it usually occur in the morning?
If you havent aten breakfast for an hour then yes, thats normal.
I often get out of bed fast and make myself feel faint, or if i dont eat for ages i do.
If its all the time even when you are eating, then im unsure.

yeh that sounds a bit too much, g and see a docotor, i've never fanited in my life, i guess i'm just lucky and i skip brekkie all the time. Sometiems when i get out of a steaming hot shower that i've been in for a while it takes me a bit of time to feel stable, but i don't faint

No that sounds pretty normal.

I never eat breakfast, and I am fine.
You must have low blood sugar.
If I stand for too long, I feel faint.
I have only fainted once in my lifetime though. =/

If you can't stand for more then 15 minutes i think its a problem

I know a girl who fainted in science class when my teacher brought in a heart and a brain. Just thought you'd like to know.

You're not necasarilly diabetic, probabaly just something minor.
But id still go to the doctors anyway because i dont think we should faint after standing for 15 mins or so.
Hormones could play a role in it, maybe.

u might be diabetic or u might have low blood pressure

tall people can feel dizzy if they stand up too quickly.

Sometimes in the morning i jump out of bed real quick just for the rush

Edit: but yeah, im 6 foot - and my mum(who's a doctor) told me that feeling dizzy from standing up too quick is usually just from low blood pressure and happens in a lot of tall people. I guess low blood pressure is good in most respects anyway

no.
i usually have dizzy spells, but i sit down to ensure fainting doesn't occur.

i do faint if i run my bath too hot though, LOL.

tapper2 · 01-19-2008, 08:38 AM

I have fainted standing up before!When i don't eat anything for a while i faint!

I get the same thing but it's low blood pressure and if I don't feel faint I feel like I'm going to be sick.
