This morning. .. I was walking in a rush , I heard my dad asking me for a help. Then suddenly it became blank, dark, and silent . I heard my dad was calling my name and I woke up. Then I saw something weird, everything was moving. The wall, the ceiling and everything . I couldn't see anything properly! Then suddenly I felt so dizzy, and then I was screaming so loud . It was so hurt, my head was so hurt . I started crying so loud, then my dad started rubbing my head and helped me moving to bedroom. I was so confused. Soon after lying on the bed I have just realized I had just hit my head on the floor. Fortunately I didn't feel like throwing up ,so I decided to take a rest at home . After taking a rest for 3 hours ,I feel so much better. But I am still feeling the dizziness and my back head is swollen and still feels so hurt. Thanks God that I'm still okay .. I guess this is my first accident which made me fainting even just for a while. I thank to God that I don't have a serious injury since the accident could make some injuries to my brain. I thank God for reminding me to always enjoy my health, happiness and joyous life. Thank God. Have you ever had an accident that made you fainting or even worse? What the lesson you learnt from that? God Bless you. Juliyan23 18.07 , Indonesia.

Hi Juliyan, I had fallen in this way many times, just because of low BP. I remember, I felt the same way, just get darkness in eyes then don’t know what happened but regain the conscious after sometimes then only realizing about the fall. With the grace of God I too escaped without much hurts. How do you feel now? Have a check up on your blood pressure. There is nothing to worry. Take care and get well soon.

Hi Sreekala :) Thanks for your concern, dear. Well, I fell because of the floor was too slippery and I was in a rush of walking. My mom forgot to dry the floor after droping a pail of water. :( btw, I am sorry to hear you have BP .. My doctor ever told me that caffeine is good for increasing the pressure. I hope you always be fine, my friend. .

Hi Jul! Hope you are better now. It is really unfortunate to hear that you hid your head on the floor. Our head is one of the delicate and most important part of our body and it should be protected at all cost. I am of the opinion that you are all right because you could post this discussion and your mind is working properly.

Hello there Juliyan. How are you right now? I hope you are just okay after what happened to you. I think the situation that you had yesterday was a hard one. I hope that you are already in a better condition right now. I could really relate to what happened to you. I just had an accident similar to yours last Monday. I was in my sister's home that time. It was past 9 o'clock in the morning when it happened. I could remember myself still dreaming that time then I was suddenly awakened because I felt that I really needed to go to the bathroom to urinate. So, I just immediately got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom. While I was preparing to urinate, I suddenly felt something. My vision became so dark then I didn't know what happened anymore. I just thought I would be okay that time. If I would sit on the toilet bowl, I thought everything would be fine. I thought I could control myself and my vision would be clearer again. Though, I was really wrong. I think I was able to fall asleep for awhile. When I was able to open my eyes again, I just found myself lying somewhere. I really didn't know where I was that time until I saw the window. Then, I remembered, I was in the bathroom. I just saw my hand phone next to me. I was just thankful because it wasn't wet or broken because of what happened. Then, I picked it up and I stood up. After that, I looked at the mirror. I was really surprised and sad because of what I saw. I had a bit bloody face. I really couldn't accept it. I think my face was also able to hit the bathroom floor. My head also really hurt. That time, I still had the strength to walk into the living room to reach the door. I was lucky my nephews' nanny was there. I really walked towards her and called her name. Then, I went into the bedroom alone and just lay down there. Then, my nephews' nanny suddenly went into the room and looked after me. She gave me some tissue and water. I asked her if I had my wound on my lips, she said "Yes." Then, I reached out for the mirror inside my bag. My tears fell down when I saw that I also had my wound on my nose and it was still bleeding. I really couldn't imagine that. I couldn't imagine traveling for two hours in going to the city where I am working in while I was still really hurting. So, I just took a rest on the bed, and prayed that the bleeding on my nose would already stop. I just had my handkerchief with me because I was searching for some remedies using the internet on my hand phone for my wound but everything I read had some of their disadvantages. I wasn't able to put anything on my wound because of that matter. I just washed my wound with soap and water and I was really careful of it. I didn't want to touch it for it may become worse. Then, after two hours, I got ready because I really needed to travel in going to work. I carried my bags and just bought some medicine that I really needed to take. I bought what my mother told me to buy. I just had my handkerchief with me to hide my wound on my nose. I think other people were able to see it but I think they would understand that. Maybe others might think I fought with someone or I was hurt by my boyfriend so I had my wound. Though, those weren't the real incidents that happened. It was just an accident that I had in my sister's home. I think, it's already the second time that an accident like this happened. It was again an accident in the bathroom. That time, I was again in a rush to go to the bathroom. I just woke up and I didn't wait for some minutes for me to stand up and take a walk. That time, I also hit my head on the bathroom floor. I was lucky I was awakened after some minutes too. I only had my bruise on my forehead and canker sores on my lips that time. I think the one that happened last Monday was worse than the first one because I saw blood. Before, there was no blood on my face. Last Monday, there were some droplets. Now, I'm already feeling better compared to last Monday and yesterday. I still feel a little pain at the back of my head but it's now better. Sometimes, I don't like looking at the mirror because I would see something on my nose. It's really visible. It's a bit hard for me because I needed to face the webcam in my work so I really see my face most of the time. I'm praying that this wound on my nose would really heal soon. I hope next month, it would already be gone. I just hope it wouldn't create any scars. I'm also a bit shy at times when I would go out and other people who know me might see my nose but what can I do? It already happened so I just act normally. :) I just smile at them like nothing happened to me. I learned a lesson because of what happened last Monday. Next time, I would just try to wait for some minutes on my bed before I would walk to the bathroom so I wouldn't faint again. It's not so good to rush while just waking up. Starting yesterday, I was really careful. Whenever I wanted to go to the bathroom after waking up, I really took time for me to be sure that my blood and mind were already awake before going to the bathroom. I just hope that nothing bad would happen to me. I'm praying that there would be no more side effects of what happened. I think we should really be careful next time. I hope the similar accidents that happened to us lately wouldn't happen again. I hope we would always be safe. I hope that nothing wrong would happen to us. I'm also so happy because I'm still alive right now. I just thought I wouldn't be safe last Monday but it is good I am safe right now. Let's just continue living our lives happily. We just need to be cautious at all times. Let's really learn from what happened to us. God bless you always too and happy myLotting to you. :)

I once fell down and but my head hard on a cement floor. Since then I have had migraines and fainting spells. I also became prone to motion sickness too. It happened when I was fifteen and I blame those things I. He fall because evryhing changed after then with my balance. It caused me anxieties too when I fainted again or was dizzy but most especially when I felt that feeling yourself of Vertigo. I hate it when that happens. Even a car ride Orr a simple sneeze will trigger it.

A few years ago I was on my mountain bike driving through my town, and this car came up too close to me knocking me off balance well I fell off my bike and landed painfully on my left arm, the driver didn't stop to check if I was ok and just drove off, well the pain was excrutiating, but fortunately I wasn't too far from home so I picked up the bike with my right arm, ok from the fall. I got myself to hospital, it was only badly bruised not fractured or broken, the lesson I learnt not to cycle, it put me off cycling, I got rid of the bike and now I only use the cycles at the gym! I am glad you ok, head injuries can be pretty severe.

Oh you have to be careful after hitting your head, even 24 hours after or so you could have a very bad reaction and even die. This has happened to a famous actress once, she ended up passing away after a skiing accident. I'm hoping that won't be the case with you. But be on the lookout for any symtoms you don't feel are "right". Please don't rush so fast next time, I know it's easier said than done especially when someone is calling for you and perhaps need some help. I did something similar a few years ago on the floor when it was wet but luckily did not hit my head. Take care of yourself. Yes I have had such an accident, thank goodness I fainted where there were others to help me right away.

Please go see the doctor right away! Just because you are feeling better doesn't mean there is nothing wrong. Make sure your head is OK as it can be very dangerous to get a concussion like that, if it ever happens again it could also be fatal. It sounds like you have hit your head really hard if everything was moving and you blacked out which means your brain may have been injured. Check to be sure

Only recently I got an accident, I slip and fell,with the back of my head first hitting the floor. Oh, boy it really hurts and I got dizzy. Up to now, the back of my head still hurts a little when I touch it. I really thanks those unknown samaritans who help me, specially the one who care to give some ice for my swollen head. Cheers for them!

Okay okay okay okay.. you made me laugh XD Well, in a good way XP, no offense~ First thing first is, I'm glad that your alright :) You should continue to get some rest. And about the experience part, Me and my classmates actually did something stupid. They kinda pressed my chest to a wall. Then i had to hold my breath for a minute or two. After that i blanked out. Then i woke up my head was bleeding XD Nothing serious, just hit my head on a wall when i fainted. XDDD
