Loosing conciousness - why?

Can anyone help me with what happened to me today. I got out of my car and my feet felt really heavy as if I had stood in loads of mud (I even checked my feet). I came in and went upstairs and then sat down and everything went black, then I was ok, the black again really quickly about 3 times and my head dropped to my chest. I have been fine since and no idea what it could be? Maybe need a GP but reluctant as I feel ok now. anyone any ideas?

Can you phone 111 to check? I’ve nearly fainted before and lost my vision. Luckily was in the doctors waiting room so they rushed out and put my head between my legs.

That sounds a good plan. Thanks

@Hopeandmoss hope you manage to get through quickly and everything is ok

I would definitely get this checked. Hope you managed to get through quickly and all is well

If this happened to me I would have rung 111 immediately. It could be anything from a virus to a heart issue. You need an ecg really.

Thanks all I have an appointment with my gp today.

Sounds like a faint rather than a hypo but could even be neurological? Anyway glad you’re getting it checked out - best wishes OP.

Have you checked your blood pressure?

dreamingdays · 06/12/2023 09:29

sounds like maybe low blood pressure.

Also had you had enough to eat / drink?
