Why would someone suddenly blackout?

Blood pressure to high

never mind, just read the rest. he mighta been mighty tired!

Thanks. Possibly, but he is in reallly good health. I will try to bull him to the Dr. to get it checked

That actually happened to me twice, and I was also really hot before it happened. Not enough oxygen was getting to my brain and therefore caused me to blackout, I actually went to the doctor’s and they told me nothing was wrong. I also didn’t remember anything happenning other than before it happened. I was just really hot and everything was speckled black at first and then I just blacked out. So if he feels this way again just tell him to lay down because I was told the heart can pump blood much faster towards the brain when it is at the same level of it.

I randomly blacked out because my blood pressure got too low. Alternatively high b.p. could also cause it. I mean a check up at some point would probably be smart.

Thanks. Its possible, we do have a little rescue dog here right now that is keeping us all awake.

Snds like a good idea, better to b safe, and ur welcome :-)

Thanks much! I will remember to get him to lay down if it happens again (Though I pray it never happens again, I don’t think I’ve been so scared in my life!)

Thanks! I will definiately try bullying him to the Drs on Monday.

haha yeah, my sister thought I was faking when it happened to me even though I smashed my head against the outlet and broke it, I didn’t even feel it.

Vaso vagal reaction?

Lie down with both feet elevated…

Oh! Thats horrible! I would have freaked! I hope you didn’t hurt your head

Thanks!

Was he sick? Sometimes illness can cause this. People can lose consciousness for many reasons, some harmless, and others quite serious. People can also carry illnesses in their systems long before the symptoms manifest, so he could have been getting sick and not have known it. If he hit his head earlier that day, it could have been a symptom of a concussion (many people can get concussions without knowing it).

He should defintely see a doctor, because this could be a warning sign of a medical condition, such as diabetes (and no, you don’t have to be overweight or unhealthy to be diabetic). He should have a full physical to make sure he’s in good health. If he is, I wouldn’t worry. But if it happens again, call the paramedics! It could be a sign of a very serious condition.

If people would get medical attention right away when things like this happen, many medical conditions could be prevented or treated sooner. If it happens again, don’t let him tell you it’s nothing and he feels fine! He should get medical care if for no other reason than because it will give you peace of mind. :) His doctor should also be able to tell him about other warning signs he should be on the lookout for, just to make sure the blackout wasn’t a symptom of an underlying problem.

Best wishes to you and your husband. :) Also keep in mind that the human body is basically a very, very complicated piece if machinery. Not everything can function 100% properly all the time, and things can go wrong without being indicative of larger problems. But your husband needs to see a medical professional just in case.

And if it happens again, have him sit or lie down somewhere quiet and comfotable. Turn the TV off, dim the lights, and get him a glass of cold water to drink. Have him practice deep breathing exercises and stay calm. It should pass eventually, but if doesn’t, see a doctor ASAP!

Once I passed out because I did’nt sleep all night… I fell and hit my head on the microwave but I did’nt remember it… My friend just told me what happend

Thanks so much

Oh, I hope you didn’t get hurt!

I did… All I remeber is saying “I think I need to sit down” then it went straight to looking up at my friend and feeling like somone just bashed me with a skillet or somthing over the head. It was scary!
