In church this morning I was kneeling down when all of a sudden i got really dizzy. I felt like i was going to puke, the dizziness got so bad that everything was just a blur then it wwent black and i couldnt see anything. i felt so sick. then i could feel my hearing going. i sat up on the pew a little bit but i still couldnt see or hear anything. i remember my mom looking at me, asking me if i am allright then telling me to sit up but i had to keep asking her wht she was saying because i couldnt hear her clearly. then she asked me if i was going tp pass out. i then got up and went outside for air and everything was better although i had a headache. my parents say it was most likely from the heat because it was hot in church. but i just find it weird because i have never fainted before. i dont know. what could have been the reasons for this?
Anyway, I don't want to make you worry but EXPECT SOME MORE of that in the future, maybe the next one would be within the next 3 months, and all of them will happen when you are standing up from a sitting or kneeling position.
The next time it happens, immediately measure your heart rate. See if it is increase to somewhere close to 90 or 120 beats per minutes.
If it does go over 100 beats per minutes, or if this happens every single week, then I suggest you see a doctor and tell him the symptoms.
And, well, some doctors might check teh MRIs of your brain, but if that yields negative result, then tell your doctor to check on your SCM (sternocleidomastoid) and check for the possibility of POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), too, just to make sure.
Then again, it was probably just caused because your body was reacting to the heat. But, uh, you know, just giving you a head up of what might possibly be in store. [ ThirdQED's advice column | Ask ThirdQED A Question ]

if you are staying hydrated and this continues to happen, consult your doctor. It could be a few different things.
