passing out/fainting?
i'm not sure if this is the right category, but anyways..i was out with my mom today taking my duck to the vet. as we were leaving i started feeling like i was going to puke. then everything got blurry and i got really dizzy. then my ears started ringing and i fell to the ground. they put ice on my head and neck and i felt better after a little while. what happened to me? did i pass out/faint? this has never happened before. so why now? thanks! (oh, and i dont pass out from blood so it was nothing like that)

It can't hurt to see a doctor, but most
of the time fainting isn't caused by any
life threatening medical problems. An
exception would be if you have a history
of heart problems.
Were you by chance coughing before you
fainted? You don't give an age, but in
young people the most common cause of
fainting is coughing really hard or a
long bout of coughing. When you take
a deep breath while coughing without
breathing out it causes less blood to
get to your brain making you faint.
After you faint you begin to breath
normally and come around quickly.
Other causes can be low blood sugar.
If you have a history of hypoglycemia
or even diabetes in your family you
want to be checked by a doctor.
Anxiety and being upset can cause
fainting. Medications like diuretics,
antidepressants or Blood pressure
meds can cause fainting. If using
any of these check with your doctor,
you may need a dosage change.
Not drinking enough fluids can also
cause fainting. Usually after being
in the sun or after an illness.
Those are the most common causes.

Maybe it wasn't your blood, but blood sugar. If you didn't eat anything before you went to the vet, then your blood sugar may have gotten low, causing you to faint.
Or if you were having a rough period, that may have caused it. I always get really weak and light-headed when i'm on my period.
It could be a number of things. If it continues, go to the doctor.

Was it a hot day? It could be heat that caused you to faint like that.
None the less, this is a good question to bring up to your doctor. They can tell you what happened, compared to our guesses.
