What could it mean if I am passing out when I am sick?

Answer by  jangell700 (101)

It could mean you are not eating correctly to get the correct nutritional value to heal on. It could also mean your sugar levels are way off and they need to be checked.

I have the same problem and was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope. You need a tilt table test to prove this.

You could have low blood pressure and this can make you pass out when standing up quick. Also this is known as syncopy if there is no reason for you to pass out. Besides being dehydrated from throwing up, you should have this checked by a doctor as this could happen while driving.

It's likely that either your blood pressure or blood sugar are low. If you find you tend to lose your appetite when your sick, your blood sugar could be low. often being sick means being dehydrated, and that equals low blood pressure as well, so try drinking fluids. Most importantly, if it's happening a lot, see your doctor!!

It means you need to go to the doctor. Unless you already have a very low constitution(you have trouble making it to the mailbox) passing out when you're sick means you have low blood pressure or you already have something else wrong with you thats draining your stability. Go get a checkup.

If you are passing out every time that you are getting sick it could mean that your iron is low. Ask your doctor to make sure that you are not diabetic. Maybe it is your diet.

Everyone has different tolerance levels when it comes to sickness, disturbance, and pain. When a person faints from any of these, it could be due to their tolerance level.

You may just be prone to vasovagal syncopes (the common faint), which can be triggered by dehydration, low blood pressure, or stress, all of which are likely in play when you are sick.

You are not consuming enough of the right foods or your blood sugar is really low. If this keeps happening, go see your doctor!
