Fainting Spells and Seeking a Second Opinion

hello my name is Laura and I have fainting spells and the hospital said everything is fine when it's not I'm trying to get a second opinion

Hello! Do you have symptoms before you faint? I feel lightheaded, heart palpitations, headache, blood pressure drops, nausea, and faint.

I start to feel weak and than everything goes black and I don't remember what I do before I faint

Melsy

I went to 4 doctors to find out what was going on.

You don't have much time before you faint. Always get another opinion.

Hi Laura I’m in the same boat

I have the same thing. I have passed out about 3 times one being while sitting down. My doctors told me it was just a drop in my blood pressure and diagnosed me with Vasovagal

unfortunately the ER can really only rule out acute causes like a stroke or tumor. see a cardiologist and a neurologist, they can investigate more chronic or long-term causes of your fainting spells

Mine is related to my blood pressure going low at night.

Most of these symptoms pertain to the nervous system. See a neurologist!

I am going to a neurologist next week hopefully we can figure this out cause it's now causing my alopecia to act up from the stress.
