I have had similar experiences. About 5 in the last year and a bit.  I would first feel very sick to my stomach and feel that for awhile. Then I would get super light headed and have to run to the bathroom thinking I'd get sick, by that time I lose the use of my legs and start falling over and then everything starts to sound muffled and my vision blurs. And I'd have to stay scrunched in a ball on the floor for at least half an hour til it passes. 

This could be a number of things. The closest thing I am to a medical professional is having earned a B.A. in Psychology, lol, but the first things that come to mind that I know of are either: panic attack, or a serious problem with your blood sugar/pressure. Either way, this is something you really need to check, as it can obviously be very dangerous. 

Go to a doctor and request an MRI. I had episodes like so and was turned away because when you're young for some reason it's assumed you'll bounce right back. Turned out I had a four inch blood clot blocking oxygen from getting in my brain for YEARS. They didn't find out until I had a fucking stroke in their parking lot. It's been almost three years and I still have limited feeling and use of my left arm and leg. Get it checked out, now.

I have had these feelings a couple of times.  I actually fainted once when I was twelve after I'd been sick... that was deemed to be dehydration.  I also have very low blood pressure which tends to cause issues with dizzy spells.

  A couple years back I had the nausea, dizziness, and a weird feeling of deja vu... and then I had a seizure... well, two.  They never figured out the cause of those, but I definitely lost consciousness and was fuzzy for most of the day.  Since then I haven't passed out again, but have had other similar experiences (usually I will have the feelings 5-6 times  a day for a few days then they just go away)... nausea, dizziness, deja vu without actually losing consciousness... I just don't feel like I'm 100% there, even though I'm sort of aware of what is going on around me... Sounds a little different than yours, but you should get that checked out! 

Your mom is right, you need to see a doctor. Don't wait, go now.

@WaitingToShrug@xanga - Yeah, agree! Mothers always know best IMO

@wallerus@xanga - I am so glad you are okay! That was scary it happened to you. My good friend had several fainting spells which were related to having low blood pressure. She has anemia, though she is feeling much better recently. She has to take medication and monitor her blood pressure, in addition to working out daily. She works out before work and after work.

I believe with a healthy lifestyle, any of us can become the strong people we are.

We can do it! :)

i've got a few stories, so here goes!

my boyfriend pretty much passed out when he was at work about a month ago. he had been doing P90X off and on for about a year and had recently got back into it. he doesn't think that played a factor but idk... anyways, the morning that it happened, he he had an apple for breakfast and then biked to work. its only about a mile, but it was pretty cold out too. so he wasn't feeling too hot, kind of queasy, but he ended up going out for a cigarette with his coworker. (he had been a heavy smoker for most of his adult life but has tried to cut back/quit for the past few years) he took a couple puffs and then felt really sick to his stomach, got really dizzy and kind of blacked out. somehow his coworker helped him inside and onto a bench and then he kind of passed out and doesn't remember how he got upstairs to his office. all his coworkers were crowded around him asking him if he wanted them to call an ambulance. he said he didn't and then one of his coworkers drove him back to our apartment. i skipped class to stay home and take care of him, made him a big breakfast with eggs and potatoes. i think he just hadn't been eating enough for the amount he had been exercising.

i guess he also fainted when he was in high school or early college when him and some friends went to see the body worlds exhibit. (you know the one, with all the cut up people? ew) well, supposedly he was pretty hungover from the night before and they had smoked some weed before going in and it was all a bit much for him. lol.

i've had issues with dizziness and vision loss when standing up for many years due to low blood pressure and hypoglycemia. used to happen a lot more in high school. also, a few years back i smoked a bunch of weed with some friends and we got up to go watch a funny video on the computer and after we watched it i felt like i couldn't move. i was super dizzy and couldn't see too well and i felt like my feet were glued to the ground and that the ground was really far away and that if i took a step i would fall. it was really weird. my boyfriend helped me to the bed and after laying down for a while i felt better. that was probably the closest i got to passing out though.

my dad's been overweight for much of his life and has dealt with some heart problems as a result. well, he decided to change this and started exercising and eating better a while back. he got really extreme about it though, almost orthorexia style. he lost over 100 lbs and was doing triathlons. he still ate a lot though, he's 6'2 with a heavy bone structure, built like a football player. weighed like 250 at his skinniest in-shape weight. (which is considered obese by the bmi standards, which goes to show how bmi isn't always accurate. people were actually telling him he looked TOO skinny at that weight, crazy!) but anyways, i guess he was pushing himself too hard because one time he passed out kind of in the way you describe. he was in his downstairs office later at night when he got up to get something and all of a sudden he felt like the floor just rushed up at him. he woke up a while later with his head hurting but he felt like he couldn't move very well, and he was struggling to stay conscious enough to pull himself up the stairs.

so yeah, most of the incidents that i know of tend to be relating to pushing yourself too hard, either exercising too much or not eating enough or a combo of both. maybe that's the case with you, who knows. but i think its quite clear you should see a doctor about it just to be sure.

best of luck!

This used to happen to me in my teens. I would be standing and my vision would go and I would collapse. The doctor told me based on the times it happened to me it was from a couple things. First, from low blood pressure. Whenever I would stand up to fast blood would pool in my legs, not fully reaching my brain, I would get that dizzy feeling, and occasionally pass out. The blackout vision still happens regularly when I wake up in the morning and get out of bed too fast. Second, dehydration. Whenever I would be too active without drinking enough water, or if I was sick and throwing up a lot It would happen to me almost every time. These were the times when I would have the double episodes like you experienced. I would pass out, regain conciousness, try to get up and do it again. If you were ice skating all day without a break you were probably dehydrated. Third, any sort of heavy prescriptions or drugs I was ever on has made me do this, so I would check the side effects of any drugs you may be on. It is still best to get checked out by a doctor because it could be something more serious.

This happens to me relatively often as of late. It seems to happen if I don't eat in the mornings, if I don't eat with meds, or if I go a prolonged time without eating. It also has happened once when I was just standing in a room talking to someone. I don't know what it is. I don't have blood sugar issues, but I do have neurological issues. I think mine definitely has to do with food/water somehow though.

Im sorry your going through this :( 

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
