Worst one is when I passed out in kitchen and hit my head on work top cracking my head open and needed 30 stitches. Was in hospital for a week. Very nasty accident.
Recently I was on a cruise and went to the loo in our cabin but passed out as I went to sit down luckily I called hubby early enough for him to hold me on loo and help to bring me round. Then I had upset tummy when I came round. I have ibs . I think I need to speak to my gp about these passing out episodes xxxx
Thank you for your replies. yes I’ll contact my gp after Easter as it’s starting to worry me now ,especially after such a bad accident when it happened in the kitchen a few months ago and was in hospital all week
You definitely need a thorough evaluation, Rose, and please stay well hydrated in the meantime, as @A MyLupusTeam Member says.
Hello @A MyLupusTeam Member I did until an EMT instructed me to immediately sit or lie down no matter where I am when I feel dizzy. A Loop-Recorder was implanted January 2026 after they discarded the original plan which was to implant a Pacemaker. I will find out the details soon. How are you feeling right now?💜👋🏼😃
Yes, please speak to your doctor. I have to be very careful with my water and hydration status as I loose fluids (that's my flare) very quickly. So when I feel myself getting dizzy, and I am loosing water(urinating, salivating, tearing, nasal drip and pooping) I know to get myself somewhere and sit down and have some fluids and bread and protein. Please talk to your doctor on how to replace fluids that you loose. God bless and I am praying for you.
Do you experience passing out episodes, especially with stomach pain and bathroom urgency?
Yes, speaking with your GP about these passing out episodes is absolutely the right step, especially given the serious injury you experienced. Fainting can have several causes in people with lupus, and it's important to identify what's Show Full Answer
