Hi I am a 19 female. I am fit and healthy and do a lot of sport. Over the past two years I have been taking turn when I become unwell and the past year has been the worst as it has happened about 9 times.
I can be fine then I start to loose hearing, the room spins, I loose coordinations, vision, I start to badly overheat and then either pass out or manage to stay with out but need to sit and stop till everything stops. I was at work (part time job at a restaurant) when this happened and it was described as being away out of it as if I was on drugs but I am not that stupid to do anything like that and I don't even smoke, after its happened I am very tired and sweaty but freezing. I have been to the dr and had tests done and all that it showed was that I was slightly anaemic but that has been sorted I am not on any medication anymore and my levels are normal, as they get checked,
Anyone have any ideas what may be wrong or advice? I no when it is going to happen and can tell somebody but I don't no what causes it or why or is it just one of these things. I have horses and do not want it to happen while I am on one, thanks
I also take more frequent turn of a sore fuzzy head feeling and being too warm and a feeling awful, these pass but are more frequent,
What cases them to go further for me to black out? :(

Get a second opinion. We can't diagnose here on AMHD, and quite frankly with all of those symptoms I wouldn't hazard a guess of what might be going on.

Have they done complete bloodwork, MRI ?

See it doesn't happen all the time and hasn't happened in a few months I have just been feeling a bit light headed and start to get warm but these pass its when it goes further that I'm a bit worried about.
Yes I think a complete blood test was done and it only came back with slight anaemia but that has been fixed now.
I don't want to waste the dr's time, the last one said it could just be one of these things, that was said before any blood had been taken.
Thanks

barrahill, I wouldn't like to think anything would happen while horseback riding, as you say. That would be catastrophic for you. I urge you to seek a second opinion.

Did your doctor discuss making sure you are hydrated at all times? Those could be simply signs of dehydration and you didn't see the doctor while dehydrated. But as tickle said, there is no way we can know what it is.
