Okay, my sister pretty much passed out while online, and I asked her friend why and he said because she said that she had really bad cramps, and that she was throwing up, which I can tell because it's in a bucket. But she got really light headed as he said and passed out? Now, I wanna know, is that normal, because she's only 14 and I'm worried about her. I don't want nothing bad happening to her, she's my baby sister.
vickiooos answered Friday July 29 2005, 5:01 pm: the cramps could be to blame. some girls get REALLY bad cramps. thankfully, i dont get any. =D. talk to her about it and if it bothers her that much then you can take her to the doctor and they can suscribe some birth control to her, which will help sustain her period and make those nasty cramps go away. the body works really weird when girls are on their periods so it's probably nothing too serious to worry about [ vickiooos's advice column | Ask vickiooos A Question ]

laughalott26 answered Thursday July 28 2005, 2:13 pm: Normal? Well, it doesn't happen to alot of girls, but it does happen to some. It's nothing to worry about too seriously, because that has almost happened to me before. You should tell your mom to take her to a doctor to see if there is a perscription they can put her on (mine got so bad that thats what I did). But, if they aren't always that bad, then she should take 1 or 2 Aleve's every 4-6 hours starting two days before and ending one day after her period. Sorry so long. Hope I helped!

steponme answered Thursday July 28 2005, 1:14 pm: this is very difficult to explain, but your sister may be on her period. a female's "time of the month" causes bad and painful cramps and bloating. it also causes moodswings and vomitting. it is very normal for a female to passout or fait or even get dehydrated durring her period. relax, your sister is fine, but when she starts to cramp up again, get a cold rag or towel and sit her dwn in front of the AC, and then have a talk with her I'm sure she will understand that you only want to help her.
LoViny0ux914 answered Thursday July 28 2005, 1:05 pm: i would say she could be pregnant but shes on her pd so i dont think thats it...some women loose a little bit too much blood when they are on their period and that causes them to get very light headed and of course that could lead to nausea and passing out...and ask her how long hse kept her last tampon in bc it could be TSS...thats doubtful though. good luck i hope she feels better!

TheOldOne answered Thursday July 28 2005, 12:30 pm: It's certainly possible to pass out while vomiting. The usual cause is lack of blood and oxygen to the brain. If that's her problem, it's not life-threatening as long as she doesn't fall and hurt herself when she passes out. (I'm talking from personal experience here.)
But she should probably talk to a doctor, just to be sure. And of course you probably know to keep an eye out for other things: for example, is she throwing up on purpose? Bulemia is pretty common in girls her age.
Her cramps could be food poisoning. Serious cases of food poisoning can be life-threatening. If the cramps don't go away fairly soon, she should probably call a doctor.
Another symptom of food poisoning is a painful bloated feeling in the stomach.
- But since you say she's having her period, that also pretty much explains it. Cramps and nausea are both pretty common symptoms. Still, if she passes out much, she should see a doctor.
