okay so today... actually like ten minutes ago i got up out of my bed after watching beauty and the beast on my laptop flexed in my mirror a little then the next thing i know im on my floor and my head hurts like a mother****er. When I came to I thought I had like a seizure or something... but heres a lil information. Okay so my diet has been extremely clean carb wise no simple carbs basically moderate to high fat oatmeal and brown rice. So after my workout I tried spiking my insulin and I think I added too much sugar to my lemonade mix causing my blood sugar to spike then fall really fast. I haven't been doing a lot of cardio infact none other than walking around brooklyn which i do a lot of. So with all of this factored in do u think me passing out and hitting my head on the doorway was a serious problem stroke or seizure... or do u think it was just a combo of being out of shape and low blood sugar. Sorry for it being so long but i would like to hear you're thoughts. Actually whaat I mean to say is it serious enough to go to a doctor cuz right now my private physician is in Buffalo and I would have to got to the ER which would cost like 100$ that I don't have.

often ppl get head spins from gettin up too quick. having that coupled with low blood sugar may have made you pass out.

I would go to the doc asap to check that thats all it was and not a minor stroke or something.

do u have any syptoms post it happening, face numb, arms tingling, slurring speech etc?

[I 4m Legend]

no but when i was semiconsious or like just coming to(i have no idea how long i was out for it felt like a second though) i felt like i was shaking and i got all scared cuz i thought i was having a seizure or something.... but im completely functional right now.

[F-111]

definitely go to a doctor asap. they will be able to tell you whether its blood pressure related (which im guessing it is) or something more serious.

[Ceazer]

Sounds Blood pressure related, I use to get dizzy everytime I stood up.
It passed but found out blood pressure issue (resolved)

[gringo220]

hell I get light headed all the time. I noticed that sometimes the lights have a lot to do with my case but you should go to the doc like these guys said.

[ibanezman88]

yeah go to a doc

but instead of using streight sugar to spike your insulin. use 150g of dextrose?

Sounds like a bad case of hyoglycemia. In other words, your body overcompensated it's insulin secretion, causing your glucose levels to be severely low.

Unless you're on some stimulant, nitric oxide or hormonal product, I'm not sure why BP would be a problem.

[Jessethebody]

That exact same thing happen to me once. I got up out of bed really fast went in the bath room and flexed then the next thing i new my head was in the wall and i was covered in a cold sweat. Never got anything checked out though because i figured i just got up to fast. It happens.

yeah i would but i cant find that **** anywhere and shipping for a heavy but cheap product seems useless cuz shipping would be as much as the product itself.

[KM]

Personally, I don't think the problem's from high-glucose levels. Rather the contrary.

[Kaboom]

I dont think you would have spiked and dropped fast enough to do that.
I thnk you were just excited from that intense movie you just watched!! j/k we are not docs I would have myself checked if I was you.You can get light headed easily from standing to fast but it usually doesnt end up with passing out

[GeorgeT]

i've been getting the same ****. I learned that eating some carbs 30-60minutes after my shake (110g dextrose) helps get rid of the light headedness and whatnot.

I have a reaction to simple carbs similar to what you are describing, I also have seizures, To put your mind at rest, you should see your GP, but here is some things to note about most seizures. You can experience a definative taste or smell before the onset, you make lose control of muscle and incontinence can occur. Most people with wake in a confused state of awareness and there are dangers such as swallowing the tongue and people will generally experience hyper salivation from the mouth. Flickering lights, computer games and even the computer can bring on the onset of a seizure, I went for ages without seeing a GP and blaming it on anything, so if any of the above symptons seem familiar, see your GP to at eliminate this from the mass possibilities it could be, Jim
