The cause of fainting could be a stomach issue. Sharing the feeling of fainting.

 

In my case, I had my entire stomach removed due to stomach cancer, and afterward, I suffered from orthostatic dizziness for a while.

Suddenly feeling dizzy and lightheaded while sitting or lying down.

There were times when I couldn't hold on and just sat down, or lost consciousness and fainted.

 

 

People usually think that fainting is simply caused by some shock or because blood hasn't reached the head, but that's not always the case. In my situation, since I don't have a stomach and have had a gastrectomy, nutrient intake isn't smooth, so when I stand up, I feel dizzy, collapse, and faint. Once, I fainted in the bathroom and lost consciousness for a while. Another time, I was about to turn off the lights to sleep, but I lost consciousness while getting up, fell flat, and fainted. My glasses broke during that fall, but luckily, the lenses didn't break, so I was relieved.

 

Fainting is not always caused by a lack of nutrients or insufficient blood flow to the head. Since there are cases like mine where people faint, even during chemotherapy, you must not skip meals and should force yourself to eat. In my case, I became so unwell that I collapsed, which was fainting.

 

So I met with my doctor, talked about my concerns, shared my worries, and received a prescription. I also tried taking supplements and getting IV drips, trying everything I could. In the end, to prevent these fainting episodes, my doctor recommended exercise.

 

 

So I worked really hard to prevent fainting. I hiked for a year, except on rainy days. During the hikes, I exercised for over three hours each time, combining strength and aerobic exercises. As a result, the number of times I fainted gradually decreased. I used to experience orthostatic dizziness and fainting more than five times a day, but over time, these episodes started to diminish.

 

So gradually, I realized that exercise is the answer. To prevent fainting, I thought exercise was the only solution, so I only exercised to avoid fainting. Now, I feel fine. Why did I faint before? That's all I think about now. Please try hard too. Nothing is impossible in this world. The only way to overcome all diseases is exercise. I believe that the way I overcame fainting was through exercise.
