Pre-symptoms of fainting - Vasovagal syncope caused by orthostatic hypotension

The story of how I fainted

Prodromal symptoms

Prevention method

 

I would like to talk about three things.

 

I woke up in the morning and suddenly felt dizzy as soon as I opened my eyes, and I couldn't see anything.

It felt like a slight electric shock, and my vision went dark, with a sizzling sound like a TV adjustment screen.

Still, I tried to gather my senses and stay focused, but it didn't work well.

In the end, I just collapsed forward. At that moment, I wondered if this was a fainting spell caused by heat.

Fortunately, I was able to get up with the help of my family at home.

I think I fainted for about 5 to 10 seconds.

At that time, I fell and hit my arms and legs on the dining table, which caused bruisesㅠ

 

Like this.

 

It's a relief that you didn't hurt your head..

When I went to the hospital and checked, there was no problem with the cochlea, but...

They said it's vasovagal syncope caused by orthostatic hypotension.

 

Actually, the preliminary symptoms have been present for a long time.

I have experienced several instances where I felt sudden dizziness and temporarily couldn't see ahead when I sat up from a sitting position or when I got up from lying down.

 

In fact, these fainting symptoms are quite common and experienced by many people, especially among young people.

In severe cases, taking medication as a preventive measure is available, but when it is not severe, there are proper exercises and methods to get up slowly without suddenly standing up! It may seem trivial, but this is the most important!

 

I experienced fainting for the first time in my life and shared my case of experiencing fainting.

I hope you all stay healthy and avoid fainting.

Everyone, please get up slowly. Haha
