Blacked out...

[bethanyann]

Hey girls!

I've not introduced myself over here yet - I'm Beth, hi!!!

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this, or if I should be worried?

I went out with my sister in law this afternoon, just after lunch, it was hot but I'd had loads to drink and felt absolutely fine.

I suddenly felt just a tiny bit sick, and then the next thing I know, I was surrounded by people with my sister in law frantically shouting my name!!

Turns out I had blacked out, fallen in to a fence (CRINGE!!!!!!) and then been totally out of it for 2-3 minutes!

I've never had anything at all happen like this before, and I don't know if I should tell my midwife / see a doctor or just do nothing...?!

I feel okay now, other than a sore head and I'm stupidly exhausted, but don't know what to think or do!?

Have any of you experienced this at all?

Thanks girlies xx

Okay, thanks girls - will get my hubby to call NHS direct and try to get me an out of hours appointment when he gets home from work!

I've been having small dizzy spells for a while - but only when I stand up really, nothing like today - it's got me a bit worried, it happened SO quickly, I just keep thinking thank GOODNESS I wasn't driving at the time!

Sounds like low blood pressure, should be nothing to worry about.

I very very nearly passed out not so long ago... I had eaten recently, wasn't too hot, don't have low blood pressure etc etc - it was just one of those things! Hasn't happened since so I'm hoping it was a one off!
Hope yours was the same x
