sudden dizzinessa and loss of consciousness
Posted: 05-31-08 06:42am

hello
I am a healthy 38 female.
over the past couple of years i have had these strange things happen where i suddenly go very dizzy, my eyes start jumoing around so i can't focus and then my brain just seems to shut down for a second,like a brain zap, everything goes black and i lose consiousness for a second or longer. i either regain consiousness during my fall to the ground or when i actually get there.

i always fall to my knees, not backwards or to the side, like a typical faint.

I then slip in and out of consiousness several times and witness have described that it looks as though I am having electrical shocks put through me.

i am being treated for a panic disorder, which i personally don't think it is.

the black out fit thingies have caused me to become very anxious however , so i am happy to be taking something to calm me down.

This is effecting my life. I can't afford not to work, but i am struggling to get there.

There doesn't seem to be any common denominating factors. they seem to come out of the blue and can happen anywhere.

Any clues anybody?

regards
