@zhihau

I think @zhihau fainted because he saw a beautiful woman with large natural titties. He is fond of saying :

Aiyah... Aiyah... I’m fainting... I’m fainting...

I don't know much about these things but hope you are feeling better now bro.

prologue: I donate blood regularly and I never get any fainting spells what-so-ever, did ECG scans about a year ago and all results returned normal.

Just the other day, I was just about to get out of bed, and I simply blacked out momentarily. Thank heavens I fell back into my bed and not those sharp corners of the furnitures in my bedroom.

I regained consciousness moments shortly after I fell onto my bed, instinctively I placed two fingers on my jugular and checked my pulse rate- normal, about 55 bpm. Took the oxymeter from the bedside and tested, 98% O2 saturation. No numbness in the limbs, no cold sweat or any other symptoms.

Not sure what caused the black out, not sure when the next black out would be. Just thankful I’m able to register this episode here.

Much appreciated! I was trying to reconstruct the scenario by sitting up quickly after waking up for a couple of days now but no more fainting spell, I think it’s good

Buy yourself an Omron blood pressure meter.

When you feel faint take your blood pressure. If it's below 100/60 that explains it.

I get the same issue when my blood pressure goes too low after an extended period of exercise.

If your blood pressure is normal then it could be some other ailment.

Always hovering the range of 110s/80s
Checked with the Dr regarding the diastolic pressure, the Dr just gave me a dirty look saying it’s normal.
