That happens to me all the time, in my house we call it "cheap thrills". For me it is because I have extremely low blood pressure...in my case not much I can do except for being careful not to stand up too fast.

i had them also i had low blood count,
and it was caused by a shortage of vitamin b-12 and folic acid,
i had to have a bone marrow test before they found out the reason,(ouch)
then took the shots i think it was twice weekly for approx 6 months.but there are so many thing that can cause it.
hope you find out what it is and get it taken care of.you do not need to be blacking out!and it could be so many things.

That happened to me three years ago, Stef, and once I had the bloodwork done, I found out my B12 was extremely low. I started getting shots and still go once a month, but the spells stopped. See your doctor about running a blood test to check your levels. It's probably something minor and easily treatable.

Same here-- I blacked out several times and now I get IV infusions-like super blood boost! I am anemic and it has helped a lot!!

thanks for all the advice, I think I have some b12 and potassium (Orange juice) I can take for now. I haven't taken it lately b/c of my IBS

like meems...i have low b/p...happens a lot. could also be a med reaction..side effect. also anemia can do that. check with your doctor darlin'. xoxo Di
BTW..most likely NOT serious..so don't over worry..see your doc tho.

just dont wait too long to have it checked, because when i had the anemia, the pills were not strong enough to help any.
i had to have a transfusion,(only 4 units of blood)and the shots...
so go to the doc, and if it is that you dont want it to get that bad.and it may not even be that.so find out first.
so better to go to the doc, and know for sure.and you will get well faster.

I would recommend going to a doctor. I would have fainting spells after getting up or sometimes standing too long. I have a condition called Neurocardogenic Syncope. When my heart rate raises, my nervous system reacts improperly and tells my heart to slow down... there is a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure - less oxygen to the brain and out I go... I am now on betablockers to control my heart rate and I dont faint anymore

There's lots of reasons that can happen, not just your diet. You need to see your Dr.

Some medication will cause I know its happened to me. I had to drink plenty of water with the medication. Supplements are always a good thing just dont over do them take care. wellness to you.

Maybe water has nothing to do with what i went through no idea the medication was dropping my blood pressure really low. but it dont matter what anyone says in here you definately need to see a dr and see if there is other things going on.
