@freakygirl,Sweetheart, I think we all feel bad for things we can't control. We have to forgive ourselves. You weren't trained to be a doctor. How could uou know?

My father fainted in church once. They called an ambulance. He wasn't too happy about it. They checked him out and found nothing. Didn't happen again.

@tockerman They are compression socks, not compassion, which is a whole different thing. You can judge the quality by the price. Medical grade are quite expensive.

If it has happened to you twice you should have a Holter monitor test done , You have to wear a heart monitor 24 hours a day to see if you have an arrythmia , You can't tell with just a simple ekg, Fainting twice means something is wrong ,

I would definitely recommend following up with your PCP. They need to know that this happened. I have previously had many instances of fainting. I am now on atenolol to keep my blood pressure up, I try to stay hydrated and get up slowly. Since I started taking atenolol 7 years ago I have not fainted. My blood work and heart tests were fine.

Like everyone here has said, I would go see my doctor.
I faint pretty often because of low blood sugar. It drops rapidly sometimes and out I go. I can tell most of the time and I can find some place to sit down. I carry a small water bottle of orange juice with me everywhere I go.
They probably checked yours at the hospital when they did your blood work so that's probably not it but something to consider.
Good luck and I hope it doesn't happen again.

My 22 year old stepdaughter has fainted 3 times in the last 2 months. Then just as she was fainting, her 20 year old sister fainted right behind me right down to the ground. We were in a restaurant. So very bizarre. The 20 year old fainted about 4 years ago in a gym in school and broke her jaw. I keep telling the older one to go to the doctor but I don't think she has yet. She thinks it's food related? It always happens when she is eating. I guess watching someone faint makes people faint too? Pretty scary is all I have to say!
