Fainting

[mystic]

As anyone as a result of having fibro ever fainted I ended up in A&E and they said it was my fibro ?

[Fogginut]

Yes I have on various occasions but they put it down to My Usual after doing a heart trace and blood tests etc. It is important that everything isn't just put down to your usual as there could be something else going on

Did they do other tests?

Big hugs and I hope that if you aren't already you will be feeling a bit better very soon ♡

Oh dear, hope you feel a bit better now I do feel faint often. Only when I over do it though.

I know that when my pain flares up really badly I can get dizzy and disoriented. It could be related to that. Do you have any other conditions, like possibly high blood pressure or anything?

Yes! I passed out at the council offices.Went down backwards like a plank , and hit the concrete floor.Of course an ambulance was called and it was three hours before they let me off the board they had strapped me to.

Oh lampain, am feeling that with you. I was on one in A&E for 4 hours and kept trying to get someone to listen that part of the brace was digging so painfully into the base of my skull :{\

Hi mystic

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I have never fainted due to Fibro, however I have blackouts due to my migraines. I genuinely hope that you are not suffering too much if you are having this issue?

I would definitely discuss this issue with your GP and / or Specialists and ascertain what can be done to stop this happening? I want to wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I hope they can help you out ♡

please make sure to ask your dr. to test you for low blood pressure. yes, low blood pressure. i was coming close to fainting constantly which put down as fibro like everything else. i had just started at a fibro clinic so they did a tilt test which was definitely no fun but turns out i have hypotension which one little pill every morning takes care of it completely. i always blame anything wrong with me on fibro. seems easier but many times it isn't fibro so we do need to be careful to not classify everything wrong with us as fibro. hope you are feeling better today since can feel very draining when faint. take care...

No. Were you in severe pain or did you bend and double over for some reason ?
