so basically I'm 16 and today i was playing basketball, i play it a lot and my stamina is quite good. however today when i played i sudden could barely breath out of nowhere, i wasn't that exhausted so i was quite terrified tbh because my vision started becoming very vivid and then i literally couldn't see out of my eyes, I was literally blind for like 2mins straight. I'm guessing i lost my vision because my body wasn't receiving enough oxygen. after about 10mins i started breathing properly and i started to regain my eyesight. I'm not sure if this may be a medical issue i have. i did abit of research and doesn't seem like i can find something similar to what happened to me. please let me know why this happened and how i can prevent it from happening again because i literally freaked out and thought i lost my vision forever

    As you are so young I would assume you are quite fit as well but maybe you should get checked out for anaemia.If it happens again then definitely see your doctor.Yes, it sounds as though your body was struggling for oxygen ,so decided to stop you in your tracks.Low red blood cells ie anaemia would mean limited oxygen getting to your brain.
