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.
