When I was about 14 I woke up one Saturday morning with extreme stomach pains. I grabbed a bowl of Captain Crunch, sat down ready to eat it but the pain was so intense I told my mother I was going to put my head down. My head was surroounded by this really cold feeling. I pushed the cereal bowl away and as soon as my head wentt down I blacked out.

According to my mother, my head leaned to one side and then swung the other was and I fell off the bench but not before she caught me. My face turned pale and my lips were bluepurple. Dunno what happened.

Also although I'm not surprised, I'm still disappointed at the amount of people who have fainted at some point in this thread. I've never fainted, never even come close. I thought that it was a rare thing because nobody I know ever did either. But I guess its more common than I thought :/

I have only fainted once in my life. I was standing in line at a bakery to get some baguette and whatnot. I was very hungry and it was hot in there. After a few minutes i felt a tingling sensation on my back. At first it felt nice, but after a minute it felt like thorns. Then BAM. the only thing i remember was waking up. Don't remember falling or felling dizzy or anything. I just woke up and the girl who worked there was sprinkling waster on my face. I stood up, picked up a random bread, gave her an unknown amount of money and ran away. Very eerie experience.

I would like to experience it again.

are you sure it was bread? are you sure it wasn't sex?

I haven't regularly eaten breakfast for nearly 15 years, but I've certainly never fainted because of it.

Yeah, I'm just not really hungry in the morning. Two normal-sized meals a day works just fine. Haven't had the pleasure of fainting before either.

I think you are confused op. You fainted like an overweight elderly women at Church who can't handle 85 degree weather, not like a boss.

This actually happened to me in grade school.

We were in the church, catholic school, in the summer. They didn't have AC.

I started to hallucinate. I was soaring in the clouds, like in the Superman (1975) trailer and thinking about Christmas for some damned reason.

Next thing you know I'm woken up by smelling salts in the principles office.

Kind of surreal in that moment. Damn that was a looooong time ago. D:
 
I fainted once a year ago in the bathroom somehow. All I remember is that I was heading toward the toilet to take a leak and all of a sudden I blacked out and was on the floor. Well, my body was ready to be relieved so I woke up to find that my business was being taken care of. It felt great though. :P I think in the first fifteen seconds after I woke up I was strangely paralyzed as I wasn't really able to move or at least get up. It was pretty bizarre since it wasn't due to lack of food or energy, at least iirc. I did work earlier in the day though.
 
The closest I've come to passing out was after donating blood for the first time. I sat up, and started feeling hot and my stomach was knotting. I must've looked worse than I thought because one of the Phlebotomists told me to sit back at the donation station and I ended up lying down with my feet in the air and with a cold towel on my forehead. Took me about 20 minutes to feel up to moving again.
 
I've never passed out, but have been very close to several times when doing some intense physical activity in the scorching sun. Feel light headed, struggle to keep eyes open and my voice comes out week. Must be as a result of dehydration.
 
Today, my friend fainted a few minutes after our final exam started. Lucky son of a bitch, cause the exam was fucking hard and everyone fucked up. Now he knows the pattern and can prepare for it much better.
 
I fainted once after having got out of bed really fast. I was going to my closet to get some clothes and next thing I know I'm on the ground with my head through the closet door. Weird feeling for sure.
 
I once fainted in my bathtub and nearly drowned myself that way :lol
I had been lying in bath for almost an hour in very hot water and started to feel a little overheated so I get up to take a shower. As soon as I got up my blood pressure must have dropped dramatically, I passed out and fell down hard. Next thing I knew I woke up with my face just an inch above the water and bruises all over my body.. Was a bit scared at the time.
 
While I was growing up my parents were devout Catholics, so I had no choice in going to church and being an alter boy. One saturday night I ended up pulling an all nighter with nothing to eat, drinking soda the whole time while I gamed. The next morning I had to do the service, so halfway through when the priest was blessing the wine/crackers and everyone is about to come up to the alter to receive communion I fucking faint, and bash my head on the brick floor. It took them a solid 25 minutes to wake me up and then I couldn't sleep for a long time waiting for my parents to come home(that day they skipped church and went out of town, lol). Pretty sure I had a concussion, so yeah fainting sucks.

The church people thought I locked my knees, so I just let them think that rather than tell them I was exhausted from playing FPS's all night with no sleep. :lol
 
I almost fainted as a little kid, I came really, really fucking close, but I conquered it like a BOSS.

I was sick, REALLY sick, with a fever, or some kind of stomach condition, and I couldn't keep my meds down. Anything and everything I ate I threw back up. So I had to take a suppository, since I obviously couldn't throw that up. So I take it, and I'm sitting by the toilet, in case I throw up again. And I remember feeling really dizzy, my head was lolling about wildly on my shoulders, and suddenly I started getting tunnel vision. I remember trying to focus on the flushing knob and seeing my vision just fade out to what I can only describe as the "snow" you'd see on old TVs if you tuned into a channel with nothing there. But my eyes weren't shut, they were wide open, it's just all I could see was this gray static. It was HORRIFYING. I thought I was going blind. I started screaming and crying for my parents, I got on my hands and knees and tried to crawl my way out of the bathroom, feeling around for the door, calling out for my mom and dad. I got to the door but, not being able to see, I had no idea how to get any further into the house, so I just sat in the doorway yelling for my parents to come help me. I eventually found my way back to the toilet, grabbed onto it and started rocking myself back and forth. Slowly, my vision faded back to normal and I could see again. My mom came rushing in, she and my dad had been outside talking to the neighbor and hadn't heard me yelling for them. When I told her what happened, she said the meds were supposed to knock me out - I had started to black out but I got so scared I fought it off. LIKE A BAWS :D
 
I have come close to fainting many times, mostly related to seeing myself bleeding after an injury.

I did successfully fall like a boss once, though. I was walking down off of a curb and tripped, but ducked into a roll in time and continued walking with little delay. I felt pretty good about myself, and was both relieved and saddened that nobody else had seen me.
 
I just tried to read "Guts".

The first story, was so tame. SO tame. The second story made me wince a lot, because that shit is gross, and I can imagine the pain of having that in your bladder.

But the third story? The instant I read the phrase about, "The best part of Pearl Diving was the inlet port for the swimming pool filter and the circulation pump." I stopped. Closed the tab. Nope. I already know what's going to happen. Not interested. Fuck that. Fuck that so hard.
 
Fainting is actually a nice feeling, I dislocated my arm and then fainted. I was tired and confused before dislocating my shoulder so I assumed I had just fell asleep - luckily someone was around and saved my ass. Being there on the floor with my arm hanging out probably wouldnt have been good.
 
Fainted twice in my life. Both times due to illness and high fever. Really scary shit both times.

The second time I was sick as a dog a few years ago, got out of bed to go to the bathroom late at night, dizzy as hell and sweating profusely and just felt like I was overheating. Got the bathroom, got really dizzy and light headed and then I hit the deck. I vaguely remember hearing a few bangs (I hit the wall and then fell down to the floor) and then next thing I know my gf freaking the fuck out after rushing into the bathroom where I was sprawled out on the wonderfully cold tiles.

Really frightening stuff, fainting is no joke.

Pretty much what happened to me too. I was running a high fever and couldn't keep food or water down at all. My body was aching so I decided to do some housework. I start unloading the dishwasher and my vision turns gray, black, and white. Then it started turning to static and I knew I was going out. I stumbled over to the couch and I know I made it in time. When I opened my eyes I was laying face down on the couch. Scary and unforgettable experience.
 
I fainted in an assembly once at secondary school (about 4 years back).

I hadn't eaten or drunk anything that morning, and we were being lectured about drugs.

I just remember feeling a bit claustrophobic and unable to breath, and then the next thing I knew I was on the floor with about 200 students all looking at me.

Not fun. :lol
 
I once fainted at a soccer match in a stadium. Everybody gave me a weird glance like "OH SHIT, LOOK AT THAT DRUNK BASTARDS!!" while I was fighting darkness. :(

Closest I came was in highschool. I was sliding down the ramps of the stairs and landed wrong spraining my ankle. Hurt horribly but I tried to walk it off (not knowing it was sprained..bad idea :lol) A faculty member found me and brought me a chair and that's when the weirdest thing happened. The bell rang for class change and I began blacking out. I could only faintly see students through a thick blackness, and it felt like I was about to pass out. Then it stopped and my vision came back. I'm thinking it was cause of the noise (bell + students) w/ the combination of the ankle but the nurse said it was cause I didn't eat + sprained ankle.
 
Never fainted on my own, but I have been strangled until I passed out whilst being mugged which was pretty scary.

I can still remember the bizarre 'whoooosh' feeling as my conciousness came back. I was absoloutely fine though and my attackers only made off with my Sony Walkman. :D

Tell me about it. I didn't mean to READ that, but it was "delicious copypasta" by a friend in a livejournal. :\ I wasn't PREPARED at all.

Had needles in the bottom of my foot to have a planters wary removed, passed out.

I had the same thing done for my planters warts. Did you pass out from the pain or the idea of the needle in the bottom of your foot? I had 3 separate areas so that was 3 needles... in the bottom of my foot. I won't blame you if it was because of the pain. I couldn't believe how much that shit hurt. It's number 2 on my "worst physical pain I've ever felt" list. However, I took that pain LIKE A BOSS!

I did pass out like a bitch doing yard work in 100+ degree weather though. Heat exhaustion is my enemy.

Yeah title says it all, really. I was at my job on the till, serving customers. I suppose it was because i had not eaten since 8 AM because i was actually starting to feel really hungry, thirsty and weak. Since i had only about 15 minutes of my shift to go. i thought i'd soldier on until my shift was over. As i was serving this one customer, i began to feel really weak. I was about to ask my supervisor if i could go as soon as i finished serving her until i just blacked out and i woke up with everyone worrying over me. I always thought that fainting was something oversized girl men and women did, well guess i was wrong.

Take care of yourself.

No food since 8am...

How long was your shift? how many breaks did you get, and if so, what did you do during those breaks?

This seems to be from a Korean show? I'd love to have some youtube link with the whole thing (wonder if the guy just stayed there sitting, looking at nowhere :P)
 
I almost fainted, it was a little over a year ago. I have Cystic Fibrosis and I had caught pneumonia along with fluid around my lung. About 4 days into my stay they decided to drain the fluid. The procedure had a level of pain I had never experienced before, imagine your heart in a vice-grip tightening and tightening. They told me that as the fluid is drained the lung moves around the cavity to more or less resettle itself so it will push on other organs in that region. I couldn't breath and it was something that makes your entire mind go to 11, tunnel your vision, and feel like time was slowing down. It was at that point where it was overloading, but not enough to shut you down.

Afterwards due to my CF I still cough daily and pretty hard at that and so I would keep basically scratching the lung or just irritating it and the residual pain lasted for around 4-5 months afterwards. Not bad pain, but pain that would basically "flash" on a deep breath and would make you go "oo" and grimace.
