Passing out??


Question: I was stading for about 10 minuets and i felt really tired and then all the sudden i feel like im going to pass out. the center of my forhead felt like it was hot and tingeling. I began to loose my vision from the outside in...and then my body got weak and i could hardley stand. It lasted for about 1 minute then i sat down for a little bit and it got better.

I have orthostatic hypotension...It was alot like that but kinda different...but it couldnt be that becuase that happens after you stand and i was already standing for like 10 minutes.

Help?
Answers: Shoot - I can't remember what it's called, but look up hypotension on the mayo clinic website. Under causes , they talk about this one disorder where your blood pools in your legs after standing, and where normally your brain would constrict all your blood vessels or something, to bring your bp up to compensate, it does nothing. So, your blood pressure stays low, blood doesn't get to your head, and you faint. Sounds like what happened to you! Check it out. Good luck!
