Title: Do You or Does Someone You Know Suffer a Serious Fainting Disorder?
Post by: Cbsteffen on November 11, 2016, 02:59:07 pm

I have fainted many times for 11 months now. I figured out it was because I played too many brain games out of anxiety. As I have abstained from those brain games, I would gradually faint less severely because that has allowed one cerebral lobe of mine at a time to relax and regain blood flow and oxygen. Have you or has anybody you know ever fainted too much? Did you figure out what was with obstruction from blood flow and oxygen in his/her/your brain?

I have something called Arnold Chiari Malformation that can cause me to pass out. Started happening while I was in high school. There really isn't anything they can do for me since it's not real serious. I do have to contend with headaches and leg pain but the fainting thing, fortunately, has been a big problem throughout the years.

Several years ago I experienced what you are describing but was never diagnosed.  Finally it just went away.  It was very disturbing so I can imagine how you feel.  Hope it goes away for you as well.

I should finally get over the disorder if I just lie down for a while.

Yes, a coworker does.She said she faints all the time. She's not even surprised when it happens because she's use to it.

I have a niece-in-law who has started passing out and rith now the doctor's are trying to figure out what is casing it. so far they have ruled out her heart, but they are just starting to look. It has only been in the last few months that this has started.  She is overweight and i hope she is not taking some form of  weight loss pill that may be causing it and not telling the doctor.  Sheisone that does not want people to know what she is doing.
