here is something for the doctors

i had a strange experience a few days back, i was making a phone call in a nosiy environment and suddenly i felt some strange frequency in my head probably coming from the phone [may be cordless radio frequency or something] then the noise grew on me from everywhere [both from the phone and around[ and i felt dizziness then everything just blanked out and went black for few seconds and then it become normal again

right now too, i m feeling a bit dizzy [so remembered the above incidence lol] but now there is no noisy environment, i m in fact in my bedroom

any idea why such things happen or may be i need some rest :s

cheers

From what I have heard, blackouts occur from the lack of oxygen to your brain. That's why if you "lock your legs" while standing up you'll black out (had a friend fall on me once because of that). The noise, I've had that too, but i usually only hear it when it's absolutly silent, maybe that's the lack of oxygen to the ears too? I don't know, but hopefully this helps clear up the black outs a little.

It's nothing to do with the brain or anything.

It is your blood pressure going extremely low

It has happened to me too... at the doctor's

Well yea, that's basically what i'm saying. When your blood pressure goes low your brain doesn't get enough oxygen from the blood, so it starts to shut down, that's why pilots can black out when they are in high G-force situations.

i agree with t3jem regarding the brain not having enough oxygen supply. you need to do a lot of breathing exercises in order to supply your body with more than enough. take note of the proper breathing (inhaling through nose, exhaling through mouth, with deep breathing). you might also want to do some exercise, it also helps with the breathing part.

with regards to the buzzing sound, i believe it's either you spend too much time in a very noisy place or listening to very loud music using earphones. cellphones don't usually do that to the ear unless the opposite end is shouting at you. you might want to lessen being in a crowded place making phone calls. it's like a "duh" situation. if you're in a crowded place, and it's very noisy, the tendency is for you to shout and for the other end to shout as well (since you can't hear them).

and lastly, you might want to go to the doctor for that and not to us despite the fact that people love to give out advices, things like these need a professional checkup.

Go to the doctor and see what's wrong. If you drink or smoke, then stop. Keep breathing. Drink alot of water. Try to ease up on roughousing. Relax a little more, get a head massage to relieve stress. Lie down when your head hurts, and close your eyes. Maybe you can also spend less time on the computer which might hurt your eyes, make you dizzy.

I get that problem every now and again with feeling dizzy and blacking out... and I'm guessing that's it's a drop in blood pressure or something, because it's the same feeling that I get when I donate blood right before I pass out or almost pass out. Like other's have said... lack of oxygen getting to the brain.

As for the high pitch noise in your head, I'm not sure if it's the same thing as tennitus (I probably spelled that wrong?) where you hear the ringing in your ears... but I usually get the high pitch noise when there is a tv or something turned on, but the sound is off. I probably have the noise in my head when it's on too, but I guess I just don't hear it when it's drowned out by the speakers.

It may still be a good idea to go to the doctor though, incase it's a symptom of something bigger.

I think its actually a case of poor circulation, i get this all the time and i also get blue fingernails which is an indication of poor circulation. Not really a lot you can do about this though.

That happens to me all the time... I've fell a few times... It's really annoying actually. You have to just train yourself not to get up fast and not to go from really hot places to really cold ones. The doctor said it was because of low blood pressure because I can't stand the taste of salt of butter and eat neither when i can avoid it. I also am not a big fan of soda.
