Why did I faint last night?
I fainted late last night just before I was going to hit the sack, I was sitting at my desk and started feeling dizzy, the next thing I knew I was on the floor with the chair lying next to me, I managed to hit my shoulder and bash my nose as well. Strange thing is I felt perfectly fine before hand and have done for ages! my doctor thinks I may be anemic? is that likely, Im worried in case it happens again!
I'm having blood tests to see if I am anemic, I've also been advised to take a pregnancy test.....god help me! LOL
Er Loser, maybe I thought I fainted? what could have happened, I pass out and managed to hurt myself and dont remember doing it?! sounds like fainting to me!

It's awful coming round after fainting and I know you are worried about it happening again (I have fainted before, probably because I have low blood pressure and am anemic) but your Doctor will let you know your results. Try not to worry too much, maybe you could boost your iron intake with iron rich foods and maybe a supplement.
Hate to tell you this but the last time I fainted was when I was pregnant! Anyway, Good Luck and keep well!

I agree with everyone else. If you got three faint positives, then you're pregnant. It says on the pregnancy test box that the line that shows up to tell you are pregnant will intensify in color or hardly show no color at all. You may not be far enough along for it to pick up all the way either. As for the cramping, it is the uterus and ligaments in your body stretching to make room for the baby. Some slight discomfort and cramping may be from a cyst called a Corpus Luthem Cyst. This cyst form on the ovary where the egg goes and produces progesterone until the placenta builds up enough to make it's own. Hope this is helpful to you. Good luck!

Being anaemic can be a cause.
Speak to your doctor about treatment such as Iron tablets, and a change of diet.
Had you eaten properly yesterday? I fainted last year, because I was stressed out with exams and forgot to eat for 2days only drinking fruit juice, then went to a kick-boxing classes and just fainted!!!

Can be caused by low blood sugar, usually that is preceded by dizzieness, sometimes it affects vision slightly as well. Have an emergency "mars bar" or similar in case you feel like that again

It could have been a nervous reaction or astonishment at some of the questions and answers you had just seen on answers, only joking ,ask doc to do a blood test if anaemia is suspected.

you may faint for different reasons
either much effort
lack of oxygen
etc so do not worry but try to organize all your day long

pull your lower eye lids and if the skin inside looks white you could be anemic
think thats right.
do you eat iron rich food?
could you be pregnant?
