[quote=Anonymous]I fainted getting out of the shower two days before prom and had to go with a bruised jaw. I was lucky I lived. All of a sudden I felt really weird and took one step out of the tub before blacking out. I had the water on super hot and had been in the shower way too long. (I had listened to a whole cassette on my shower radio!) I have fainted a few times since and all of the testing points to just a combo of low blood pressure and heat intolerance. They call it benign syncope and tested me on a tilt table that showed that the blood pressure receptors in my neck are slow to regulate my blood pressure when I change position or stand still for too long. (Sort if like when you get light headed from standing up too quickly.) I just make sure not to stand in one place for too long or stay outside when it's very hot. Also, I have to drink lots of water because it helps keep blood pressure up. Hope this helps![/quote]
