Fainting after drinking 4 cups of green tea

[pacificdi]

Yesterday at 2.00am i fainted. This has happened before precipitated by use of drug; alcohol; or over tiredness. But yesterday i can only link it to the drinking of green tea which i do not usually drink. Has anyone had this link with fainting as i don't find it on a web search. Pacific Di

This sounds like your body could have possibly become dehydrated due to the amount of green tea you drank. Green tea has caffeine in it, and caffeine can contribute to a fainting spell. I have vasovagal syncope, and caffeine/alcohol/tiredness can make me way more prone to fainting. Make sure you drink lots of water everyday and cut down on caffeine. if I were you, i would also consider making an appointment with the GP.

Thanks for your reply. It's something to think about. I will think about seeing the doctor. Diana
