Passing out

So today I took the day off school for some personal reasons, I wasn't sick. And mum asked me to clean the birds cage so to cut time I clean the perches and stuff while I was in the shower because I had some studying to get done, about half way through I suddenly felt like I was about to pass out and vomit, I got really sweaty and I was shaking I also got really dizzy. I had to grab a towel and sit on the couch for half an hour before it passed and for about 3 or 4 hours afterwards I was still shaking. It's "that time of the month" for me also.

I have no idea what happened and it only lasted half an hour to forty minutes and the shakes stopped after 3 or 4 hours.

Any ideas?
I'm not keen on going to the doctors because it could just be a one off.

Perhaps you had a heavy flow which caused a low blood supply?

,Jess,

Something like that happens to me like every month :P. Anyway ermm did you get like any bad pain? Because that's what causes it for me if not it may be an idea to go and see your doctor & if it keeps happening though you may want to see a doctor as it's not nice at all.

It could possibly be head rush.

Getting up too quickly causes head rush, and the hot water doesn't help, because that makes you a bit dehydrated. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids after a hot bath/shower.

Definition
Orthostatic hypo tension is an abnormal decrease in blood pressure when a person stands up. This may lead to fainting.
Description
When a person stands upright, a certain amount of blood normally pools in the veins of the ankles and legs. This pooling means that there is slightly less blood for the heart to pump and causes a drop in blood pressure. Usually, the body responds to this drop so quickly, a person is unaware of the change. The brain tells the blood vessels to constrict so they have less capacity to carry blood, and at the same time tells the heart to beat faster and harder. These responses last for a very brief time. If the body's response to a change in vertical position is slow or absent, the result is orthostatic hypotension. It is not a true disease, but the inability to regulate blood pressure quickly."

I get it when I've been sitting down too long and get up :)

^^ Yeah, most likely it's because you have been sitting so long, and then out of the blue, you get up!

Maybe get up more slowly/take time to get up, from sitting down/lying down/baths/etc.

I do too sometimes, haha, it's like, HUGE ADRELINE RUSH, not HEAD RUSH

It's weird though, but it's like, you start to see black and then it suddenly all comes back.
So weird :)

It wasn't head rush then, I'd been in the shower about 10 minutes already and before that I'd been busy doing some washing.

Hmm.. I think maybe it was lack of food mixed with being too hot.

Where you sit down for a decent period of time then get up fast.

My brother had something around that line,
Went in the shower, became faint and sick, fell out of the shower.
Went to doctors and it was because the low levels of insulin in the blood stream which causes you to have the effects and in the shower worst because of the head making your blood pressure go up.
Hope that helped!

Well, a few days ago I got up quick from sitting down for a while, and I stretched with my arms in the air and I literally fell back onto the floor, basicly fainted. It seems everyone experiences bad headrush once in a while. But yeah, if your worried about this problem best thing to do is see your local doctor.
