Fainting and dizziness
Posted , 5 users are following.
To begin, I have no idea if this is to do with anxiety or not, it's actually why I'm posting this.
I have been experiencing fainting and dizziness, however it has only been in some specific situations.
These have been times like:
I went for a blood test and just after it was done, I felt extremely dizzy and almost passed out.
I had some vaccines and, again, only felt ill about 2 minutes afterwards.
Today I went for a contact lens trial, to get them tested for my eyes and whatnot, and around a minute after they had been put in, I experienced the same dizziness as the situations before.
What I am wondering is, why do I only experience this after what has happened, and why only in these specific scenarios?
I was not really afraid of any of these "procedures", and I felt 'emotionally' fine after them, (as in I was not scared), and I feel like what happens to me is not really in my control, perhaps my body's reaction.
As far as I know, I don't suffer from any other medical issues like diabetes, etc that would cause this dizziness, and I am always fine day to day, never fainting.
Is this some sort of anxiety that only gets released afterwards? Or adrenaline?
Any answers much appreciated, as I have been looking for some clearance for a while.

definitely sounds like you need to be cleared by a medical personnel before accepting any opinions. especially since you said you don't go to these places scared. what did your blood work results say

Pretty sure they were fine, no signs of abnormality.

If you are only getting faint or feeling dizzy in those situations, you are fine. I have delt with this for years, since I was a young child. It is your bodies response to situations like this. Im not scared of the needle, or the blood, or the pain when it comes to blood tests and what not, but I always feel dizzy, or fainty from it, thats just my bodies response too. If you feel faint out of the blue for no reason or pass out randomly, then I would be getting checked out for it. Feeling faint from blood tests, or medical type things, are pretty common and normal.

I guess so, just makes it really annoying for something as small as getting some contact lenses. Going to go back next week having known what to expect and see what kind of reaction I have (fingers crossed)

You may be suffering from dehydration. Drink a lot of water and other liquids throughout the day.
