Sure, you could have simply fainted from a sudden drop in blood pressure or something similar, but it is also possible that you experienced a seizure (sounds like it could be one of a number of varieties) or even a transient ischemic attack (a.k.a. "minor stroke"). A seizure can be a sign of something serious, such as a brain tumor or developing neurological disorder. A TIA is something serious to begin with.

I hope you can make it to the ER right away. If someone cannot drive you there, you might want to call 911 and have an ambulance pick you up, or take a cab, because it is not necessarily safe to drive right after a seizure or TIA.

Best of luck to you and for your sake, I hope it is nothing serious.

u sure it was a seizure? and isnt fainting when you go completely unconcious? i was concious the whole time

Wow ive never heard of anything like this....

no, there is a slight possibility, it could be a number of things.
There are several types of seizures. if it was a seizure, I would think it would have been complex partial or simple partial seizure. Have you ever had seizures? If not, just because you have one seizure doesn't mean you have epilepsy, but it is still very important to see a doctor because it could be something else. And since you said something about buzzing in your head, that might just have been a seizure, and the buzzing could have been part of it.

Fainting is another possibility of course too. I believe it is possible to stay concious while you are passed out.


You should definately see a doctor right away, and make sure you tell them everything!!

It could be very seroius possibly life threatning, you should see a doctor.

It's not lupus.

No, because I am not a doctor and even if I was, I'd have to see you in person to examine you and possibly run some tests. Therefore I'm not sure it was not a seizure either. So it sounds like seeing a doctor would be in your best interest.



I think so. Sounds more like a seizure than a fainting episode based on what you described. But I am not a doctor. I strongly suggest seeking a professional opinion, and not giving much weight to the opinions of some random people on a web site.

I asked my docter, and he told me that its becouse im so tall (almoust 2 meters), so when i stand up very fast, my blood stays in lower part of my body for 5 to 10 seconds. and thats what gives me those symptoms .

i can't remember well, but i don't think so all i remember is that i whas very upset

Is there an update? you should go to the doctor just to be safe, it will make you feel better

Same here, except I did have the buzzing and the sweating...almost fainted twice in my life, and both times were exactly like that...everything got dark, then I fell over, and felt really cold and started sweating profusely.
