I did it again... ugh..

Maybe. I didn't go to the doctor this time because as of right now, I don't have insurance. I feel fine, much better than I did the first time I passed out. I think I kind of knew it was going to happen because I got really dizzy and sweaty so I sat down, but I should have sat on the floor or told someone or something.

Were you working on an empty stomach? Maybe your blood sugar took a dive - it kinda sounds like it.

Okay. To be safe, just have a little snack handy - pretzels or a piece of fruit something simple, every couple hours. That's what Reenie had to do.

That sounds like what happened to me when we went to visit Bruce's mom at the hospital after her hip replacement. I hadn't eaten ALL day and began to feel dizzy. I was sweating horribly but was shivering like I was freezing. I had to leave the room and go sit in a waiting area. I did not pass out though, thank goodness. I'm sure people would have thought it was because I was at the hospital. I am not afraid of hospitals like some people.

Definitely keep snacks handy and see a doctor as soon as you can. You don't want to end up in the ER without insurance either.

The thing is, I'm not a breakfast person. Never have, it usually makes me sick to eat in the morning. I've been going to work in the morning with out eating for a long time... Don't know why it hit me so hard today. I feel fine otherwise. My head isn't so sore this time, lol.

Experiment, find something - even if it is just plain Saltines - that you can eat in the morning, or an apple. Obviously, your body's trying to tell you something!

Lol, yeah, my dad lectured me too... "Eat this, drink that, take vitamins..." I've been trying, really, but I have such a hard time remembering to take vitamins.

Like others have said, it is probably because of your body utterly running out of energy for a time. You need.. wait.. have to eat something for breakfast, otherwise your body is running on whats stored inside you, which isn't all too much. Not eating breakfast is equivalent to not eating for nearly 18 hours (if you eat dinner at 6PM, and if you actually eat lunch at 12).

I had the same experiences when I was in high school and until I was 30! I ended up with a broken tooth from falling into a metal couch frame.

I hated the thought of breakfast. I'd get queasy just thinking about it. I could manage a cracker or two, and then about 10 AM maybe an apple. Mom used to make Coco-Wheats (chocolate cream of wheat), add a lot of milk, and pour it into me when she could. When I was older, I learned to snack on something. Never could understand skipping lunch, though.

Can you try a piece of cheese? I take some to work to snack on now. It has lots of protein and that's what you need most.

Hope you didn't mind me reading your thread - but I thought of something, I am not a morning person either, I don't like to eat breakfast... you know, you can consider this option - breakfast energy drinks, I use Carnation mix in my milk - it offers protein and holds off your hunger for 2-4 hours - but it's up to you. I do this, because it works out. I just never had TIME to eat breakfast in college... so I went this way!
