I felt lightheaded/like I was going to die.
Today, my dog bit me. (chihuahua) Really badly on my thumb. Like...where the nail and skin meets, he punctured that part and I could see the hole and blood and stuff. (I don't have good experiences with dogs. I got bit on the leg before)
But anyway,
Blood started gushing out. I was home alone so I didn't know what to do. I let some blood come out before I actually treated the wound (I had to lock my dog up)
I treated it with hydrogen peroxide and iodine and then I carefully wrapped it around in a band-aid. A couple of minutes in, I felt really ligtheaded, I nearly fainted.
I was SOO weak, that I couldn't stand up, I felt like the whole world was closing in on me, eveything got dark and I couldn't feel my legs, I just fell. And started crying/panicking.
I then went over to my bed and felt the same, I crawled under the covers. And I felt SO lightheaded/bad.
What happened to me? Why did this happen? =|

Shock. When I got my bellybutton pierced & blood drawn I passed out because I hate blood and my bellybutton I passed out because of shock. And when I gashed my back open and gushed blood I passed out.
Also when I got dropped on my head on cement but that's not really blood. Well other than splitting it open the initially shock wasnt blood.
I can't move and I feel like my limbs are xtremely heavy and they hurt kind of and I can't keep my eyes open and I get dizzy and light headed and everyone who talks sounds like youve been on gas at the dentists office and it last for about 10 minutes until everything goes away.

Maybe it was a panic attack? Those are brought on by fears and phobias. For instance, you mentioned you have been bitten by a dog before, AND that you were home alone, so maybe the bite triggered a panic attack.
Don't go by my opinion as being that is exactly what happened, because I wasn't there and I don't really know. It is just a suggestion.
Be sure to show the bite to your parents when they get home. And if you ever get a dog bite (or any other injury) that is severe, you need to seek medical attention. Even if you are home alone and have to call 911.

You did the right thing. No need to let blood gush out. Hold pressure on it until it stops.
You have to loose quite a lot of blood for it to make you loose consciousness. So feeling faint wasn't because of blood loss. It could be the sight of blood did it to you. Not everyone can deal with these kinds of things.
If this is the same person with the dog that doesn't bite anyone but you, I suggest you give the dog away. Acting fearful of dogs can make them bite you.
Maybe get a cat. :)

you really need to tell someone about it. this could be really serious. but even if its not....it doesnt matter. its good you locked your dog up. because if he did it again, then you couldve fainted. so, you need to tell someone. but if you feel better now, dont bother. but chihuahuas can be really vicious. i have one so i know how they can be.
