i had a tooth pulled once, and while i was standing at the window to pay the bill, i fainted and fell straight down, splitting my lower lip on the edge of the counter.

I don't think you're passed out long enough. Plus I think you go to delta sleep and not rem sleep when you're unconscious, as opposed to asleep. I've only passed out once though, so what do I know.

I've taken many. Every bar I go into, I end up "Passing out"!

Dizzyness can be caused be many things.  One of the most common is low blood surgar, the other is being anemic.  If you are passing out completely is could be a seizure.  It sounds like you might just have low blood sugar or could be anemic you should ask your doctor about the symptoms and they can give you a better answer.

I have had this many times and it sounds like an anxiety attack. You become so afraid that you start breathing fast and hyperventilate. I was told to hold my breath and count to ten, after i had slowed my breathing down I didn't feel dizzy any more. I thought I was going to die when this started happening  to me and it seemed to get worse each time. When I realized I could control it and it was me being afraid that caused the problem, it has not happened again for several years. I am not a doctor, but these same symptoms happened to me.

No, but a person can pass out if he doesn't hum when my legs are around his face and I squeeze..\n\nWanna try it??

Sounds like it could be an iron deficiency to me, but to be safe; were the physicians you talked to general practitioners? If so you probably weren't getting a good answer. I know a lot of good GPs but they sometimes tend to minimize symptoms. Personally, I would want more than blood work done for something as potentially serious as that. Of course there are other reasons for syncope (fainting), I would say an Electroencephalogram (EEG) is definitely in order as well as possibly a CT scan! You might want to try some over the counter iron supplements and see if it helps, but I would be in contact with a neurologist asap, s/he will take your syncope very seriously and help you to resolve it.

It does sound very suspicious for diabetes.  Have you had a sugar tolerance test?  Ask for one.  If it comes out normal, it could be a result of poor diet causing fluctuating levels of sugar (instead of a problem with your body).  \n\nAs a teenager, I had similar problems, the buzzing and tingling would come right before I fainted.  Turns out, my diet had way too much sugar and carbs and I went too long in between meals.  If all tests continue to be normal, examine your diet.

Yes, you want to pass out, the room starts spinning and you feel very dizzy. your heart races, chest hurts, cant focus, your nervous and feel like if you ran you would feel better and you feel scared for no apparent reason. these are just a few of the symptoms. Its called the flight or fight response feelings.\n I use to suffer from them to the point of having agoraphobia. I am happy to say that I no longer have them anymore. That is without any types of drugs too. If you need any help please email me at dientzy1@yahoo.com in the subject line put panic attack so I will know what it is. I have helped alot of people.\nFirst know that just being afraid of them, makes them worse. The chemical that goes through your body at the time you have these is called epinephrine. This  same chemical that is produced in the fear state is what triggers panic attacks. This is why they seem to get worse. When you you have a panic attack you become afraid, so you are adding "fuel to the fire" so to say. By adding more epinephrine to your body by being afraid along with  the epinephrine that is going on with your panic attack. Normally our body's only produce this during needed times. Its called the flight or fight response (sympathetic nervous reasons). This chemical helps us when we need to flee something as if in a dangerous situation. But some of us have this chemical appear out of the blue in all types of settings. Even waking up with them out of sleep. Then we start to associate that situation we are in to causing the panic attack which makes us want to avoid that type of situation. When this becomes repetitive we may tend to avoid those situations. This is what can lead to agoraphobia, where you are afraid to even leave the house. Panic attacks are very common to type A personality's. It is our bodies way of saying "okay you wont slow down well I'm going to make you". I am not a doctor, but just a person who went through this just like you. The first step is to educate yourself where you can become dominant over the panic attacks. By doing this you learn not to fear the panic attacks which reduces the "fuel" on the fire. By eliminating the extra epinephrine your adding to your body you minimize the panic attack. After being able to learn to conquer them you will become free of them. And I was taught by  taking the opposite of a sympathetic nervous response is a para sympathetic response to help cure my panic attacks. I know these are some strange words but email and I can elaborate But until then know you are NOT going to die from them, although you feel sure that you are when your having them. And do know that you can be cured. Its just a matter of knowing how they are caused and whats happening to you while your having them is the first step in becoming free of them. Relaxation music and muscle exercises help until you can reach this point. There is hope and I can tell you more if you need to get additional information I tried to be brief but with still enough information to try to help right now. Take care! Email me if you need to. It helps to talk to someone who has been there.

It's called orthostatic hypertension. When you stand up too fast your bp drops too low causing you to black out or feel faint. Try standing up slowly and see if that helps. Make sure you tell your doctor this is happening because there may be an underlying cause that is treatable.

Had a seizure one night, when I came out of it, could have sworn I had just died. Don`t know if anyone really believed me or not, nobody was home when it happened except me and the kids. I really felt like I had just been dead though.

Yes, but not for long. The person will pass out after a couple of breaths because of hyperoxia (too much oxygen in blood) and subsequent alkalosis (elevation of blood pH because of loss of CO2). You can achieve a similar effect by hyperventilating: taking fast and deep breaths for a minute or two - you will become dizzy and will faint if you don't stop (do NOT do it! ;)).\nBTW, oxygen tanks used as breathing aids are not 100% oxygen, far from that.

I fainted once... but thats because I was standing up for too long and was dehydrated! I have never broken a bone. I was taken to hospital once because I tripped on a step and my lip was bleeding a bit. Can I get the boobie prize for having the least dramatic injuries!

First, drink more water. Make sure you have a healthy diet. If you feel like you are about to pass out, sit down and hold your head between your legs. It might be possible you have asthma. You should talk to your doctor.

No, you could faint.  You will not have strength and excercising could make you faint.  Not a good idea.

No real experiences I can share....but I almost died twice: once when I was little and once while having surgery when my blood pressure and heart rate dropped to 0.
