What does fainting feel like?

[KateTheEighth]

Odd question I know but I've never fainted before

I was in the shower and felt like I was being pulled to the ground and my head felt really odd. I didn't pass out.

I'm ok now but feel a bit spaced out and a bit headachey

If it's relevant I went for a run this morning but I felt great during and after

Any ideas?

Thank you

I normally get a couple of seconds warning to lie down in time if I'm lucky. I go very clammy and get a rushing sensation in my ears and feel extremely dizzy, then the next thing I know I'm on the floor wondering what the hell is going on, ears still ringing.

The last time it happened I was already lying down in hospital and DH said my eyeballs rolled up like a fruit machine

I start to get a ringing in my ears and then my hearing starts to go, my vision goes black at the edges and it feels like I am in a tunnel, I feel sick and my head feels like a balloon bobbing about on a very heavy, weak body. The room spins and then I wake up on the floor.

My son is a fainter and he gets very very pale, even his lips go white and he says his hearing is going. Blood and gore make him faint, or sudden upset. Being hungry or in the hot sun tends to do it for me, once fainted after a hot tube journey when I had skipped lunch that day, and was reading an article about the first ever woman to have a full face transplant. Whoops.

I've fainted a number of times. I have a light headiness feeling and everything starts to go black and my legs begin to give way. I usually go really hot too.
