Hello. I have a question. I have been blacking out for over 6 years now. It doesn t matter what I am doing just all of a sudden I will get dizzy, feel sick and not be able to see anything. I have fallen down and haven t been able to get up for a few minutes as well. I have had constant and severe migraines for 6 years as well. I drink a lot of water. That is basically all I drink. I have the right amount of sugar that I am suppose to have. Lately these black outs are happening a minimum of 10 times a day. I thought that maybe it was stress but its been happening for so long and its happened during the times when I was completely stress free.
Hello! I understand your concern. In my opinion these paintings called syncope can be caused by an orthostatic hypotension, a heart problem or even epilepsy. Migraine can be exacerbated by orthostatic hypotension, the most probable diagnosis in your situation. I would recommend further examinations like : a full blood cell count to rule out anemia, a HeadUpTilt test for orthostatic hypotension, an ambulatory ECG monitoring for cardiac arrhythmias. An EEG followed by a brain MRI if abnormal EEG finding would be helpful to rule out atomic epilepsy, although less probably based on your symptoms. Hope to have been helpful!
