OMG yep same here. Don't think I have ever just fainted tho. I did see a program on t.v. the other night about "fainting sheep" lol

The first time I fainted I was 12. I had taken a hot shower and then run the blow dryer w/out turning on the fan or opening the door. When I walked out and the cold air hit me I fell flat on my face. I busted the crap out of my knee. I woke up immediately I think. Well I assume I did, there were ppl home and nobody actually found me.

The second time I fainted I had just finished donating plasma and as soon as we got in the car we smoked a joint. I was ok until we got to where we were going and they didn't have the air on and I got too hot. I got up to go outside and cool off and hit a wall and fell on my butt. It was kind of weird, I felt like I was dreaming and watching myself hit a wall. When I came to they told me that's what I did amid all their giggles. They never let me get high w/ them again after donating.

The only time I feel faint now is when I get over heated. It was bad one day in August standing in line to get in to see Tool, I really thought I was gonna pass out any second. Finally, after begging the security guys they let me sit just inside the door and wait for my husband (who had to stay in line).

No, I'm not and I've never come close to it. My mother and aunt were frequent fainters though.....drop of a hat on the floor.

It has never happened to me but my mom it does..

I have felt faint plenty of times but have only fainted 3 times in my life. Twice it was because I had a virus, the 3rd time was (I think) because my blood sugar fell real low. It's not a good feeling, not like going to sleep at all.

I only faint when I am pregnant. It is embarrassing to say the least. Once we were standing in line for ice cream. I went out cold. DH caught me carried me to a bench, I woke up and these people were around me, a DR was taking my pulse. What a show I was that day.

It is surreal. The noise around you gets far away but louder, and makes no sense, but the objects seem to get closer and they are moving slower & silently. It is hard to explain. Then it feels like you're being pulled out of it really fast. Plus it freaks people out.

thankfully not even close once

nope never fainted once in my life

As I get older I have noticed more dizzy spells, to my knowledge I've only fainted once. It was at a doctors office and I had test done they said I didn't faint it was a seizure. I have not since had a seizure that I know of this was years ago I mean years ago. But I do have dizzy spells sometimes.


I saw that on yahoo news where she had fainted. She may have breathing problems I have noticed where I thought I had forgot to breathe only to find out I needed a breathing treatment. That is what I feels like , like your holding your breath. I ain't actually holding my breathe I'm breathing shallow. That is in my case tho not sure about Marie case. She may have just forgot to breathe.

I have felt the feeling many times but have not hit the floor......I get the black tunnel vision when it starts coming on....ughhhh Ih ate that feeling......but when I was really young....like 12..we was playing a game where somebody stands behind you with there arms around you and squeezing you while your holding your breath...that is the time I fainted.....and the crazy boy dropped me because he didn't know I had passed out and I hit my face on a fan.....that was stupid...do not do that...lol

I fainted once... I was 14 and at Disney world with one of my friends. It was REALLY hot and I got in line to get something to drink. Last thing I remember was thinking that the guy behind me looked like Adam Ant and then I wondered if he would catch me ..... he didn't
