the times ive passed out were weird, at a comedy show, then tattoos twice, then sometimes before i throw up once when i smoked a blunt
its been happening since ive been like 6, the dmv almost took my liscence away but i got it
i am able to feel it coming on like a minute before it happens just make sure u lay down and you will be str8, worst is coming back to reality
the tilt table test is the test to determine it, the weirdest test ever!!!!! i thought it was a joke
they had me lay on table that could go vertical and they said ok we are going to put u at 15 degree and if you dont faint in 45min you are good, i was like this **** is a joke but i started feeling it come on and then bow out,
seriously tho im glad to see somone else got it i always felt lame as fucc lol
get it looked at man, you could never know could be somthing else
sorry for the long paragraph

Good to hear your back and well man.
I read this and thought that this sounded familiar with me. I looked at the link you posted and I'll be damned if I don't have the exact same thing that you have. I've never passed out from it before but I came damn close quite a few times.

Hey George!
Yes Rory did tell me, thank you very much man! I was very lucky to have you and Rory there to make sure I got taken care of. Thank you! I really appreciate anyone there who lended a hand. The way people are describing it, I am lucky to be in the shape I am in. But yeah... come to think of it my jaw is and was pretty sore, hahaha. Yesterday I had an EEG, and today an MRI. Should have the results in 3-5 days.

yea... lots of people have it, but most don't know until a doctor tells them what it is. My GF has it worse than me... she's how I found out about it and sure enough when I asked my doctor he said it sounded like I have it as well. It's not a big deal and only happens like twice a year, but even so, it's still very scary. I usually feel it coming on so I have time to sit or whatever before I hit the ground...

usually only out for about 5-10 seconds, but waking up is really weird. You don't know where you are, you can't talk, and you don't know who the people are around you for like the first 20 seconds... it's like your brain has to reboot

last time I was getting my blood taken at the Dr.'s office, I told the nurse of my past with passing out... she's like ok, well just sit in the chair, don't look, and she began talking to me about random things to keep my mind off of it... about 30 seconds into it after she poked me with the needle, I began to feel it creep up on me... I told her "you got about 15 seconds"

woke up with 5 people around me giving me smelling salt and all sorts of stuff...

That's crazy man, I don't remember being there...
But, thank you again to everyone for helping out. I got my results back and the neurologist says that the MRI does not show anything bad. EEG, CT, and blood tests were all normal also. I am back to being able to drive, and going back to work on Monday. He wants me to do a follow up MRI in one year.
