    What could have caused me to pass out twice?
    Last night when I got home from work, I was just doing a few things around the house, waiting for my mom to come over, I threw a few shoes in the closet and the next thing I knew I felt like I was dreaming-the dream was like I had been scared, and was running and breathing very heavy, then I woke up and was lying by the closet and had pain in the back of my neck, I wasn't out for very long, maybe a few minutes at the most, I didn't think anything of it, but then this morning, after I woke up I walked from the bedroom to the other bathroom as my boyfriend was taking a shower in our bedroom bathroom, and then was walking back to the bedroom, the next thing I remember is the boyfriend waking me up and I was laying in the hallway. I don't know how long I was out that time, but I don't believe it was very long at all. I didn't have any warning signs, I wasn't feeling bad, What could have caused this? I may try to get to the doctor, but I'd like an idea of what it could be if anyone has any idea?

    Obviously do see your doctor, as it could be a number of things. A drop in your blood sugar, a drop in blood pressure, dehydration, or anemia are probably the most common reasons. Of course, if there is any chance of pregnancy, that sometimes also is the root of a drop in blood pressure and can result in dizziness or fainting.

    Do you get a bit dizzy if you turn your head to the side quickly or if you change positions too fast? Some people will experience a drop in blood pressure during position changes.
    Do you tend not to drink very much? If not, increasing your fluid intake throughout the day can sometimes make a difference. Your doctor may even suggest actually increasing your salt intake a bit.

    Try to be sure and eat something on a regular basis, including some healthy snacks between meals as this can help keep your blood sugar levels balanced throughout the day.

    These are just a few thoughts; definitely see your doctor to have it checked out.
