Why do i keep fainting? Please help me!

[princess09]

So I keep fainting, I get up go Dizzy and fall on the floor blanked out, I know I'm fainting as the doctor has told me, the first time I had fainted I woke up with my body shaking and head banging against the wall, since then I've had memory loss but only slightly we went to the urgent care center locally but they didn't know what was wrong and seent me home with some asprin for my head. I'm very stressed as I am abused and have been feeling extremely low for the past 4 months, I have my gcse exams to deal with so I'm stressed because of that to, things at home aren't great me and my family are fighting. So do you think this is what is causing me to faint? Any ideas of how to avoid fainting and feeling sick? Please help me.

My best guess is grand mal seizures, but I feel like the doctors could have induced one and known that that was what it was.

I told them I felt my head hanging against the wall, she seemed confused how it was only my head, i didn't get a chance to explain to her it wasn't just that so yeah maybe thanks, what does that mean btw?

So there are two types of seizures, petit mal, which is when the victim just stares blankly into space, and grand mal, where he/she actually has fits. If that doesn't help, just look up "grand mal seizures" on Google. :)

I would think that grand mal seizures makes the most sense. My advice is to make sure you're eating and drinking water, and if you still experience these symptoms, then seizures is the likely culprit. The doctors should give you medication to prevent/lessen the seizures.

I'd say seizures.

My guesses are either grand mal seizures, something with low blood pressure, but:
If you experience the symptons mentioned on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold%E2%80%93Chiari_malformation
you may have a chiari malformation. But you should ask a doctor etc...

I have a friend who constantly faints, the doctors told her it was due to low blood pressure, You should ask the doctor to check your blood pressure, even if they don't believe it is the cause, it's always useful to know your BP.

Seizures definately.

Sounds like seizures. There are many many types of seizures, from absence seizures where you just stare blankly into space to epileptic seizures (commonly called 'fits'), although there are many more types. I'd go to your doctors again and this time tell him/her you think you've been having seizures and carefully explain everything to her, they can then test you and treat you accordingly.

It sounds like some serious seizures.

I was going to say possible low blood pressure.

As a diabetic I have simply collapsed to the floor with extreme low blood sugars also.

I think they are stress induced seizures, try to find a way to keep yourself unstressed.
Even if I'm wrong it dosn't hurt to try, besides if that doesn't solve it the lower stress would be beneficial for other aspects of your health.

if you want you could ask at the doctors office or hospital in your town wether your seizures could be due to stress. (Google the phone number and call, if you don't have a phone number or can't get to the doctors office/hospital) Make sure to explain what happens during these seizures, as well as you remembering what happened the first time you 'passed out'

for stress relief you could try either Binaural beats or stress relief hypnosis, here are two videos, they won't work unless you can listen to the whole thing, the binaural beats might be safer to try first, unless you are familiar with the hypnosis videos.

Also these may not work on the first try, try using the same video over a period time, to see if you have any results.

Binaural beats may take up to 1 or 2 weeks before results are seen,
and hypnosis may take up to 2 weeks to a month before results are seen.

(My mom knows a person who suffers from these, that is why I came to this conclusion.)
