Fainting issue?

I am 14 years old, and I just experienced my first "black out". I havn't told any of my family members yet. Should I? Also does anyone know why I am fainting, because I was only going to get some water. Please HELP!!

You may want to search Yahoo!Answers for this topic, as it is asked regularly, and has gotten good answers.

For basic information on hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), check out www.hufa.org. For basic information on hyperinsulinemia - the pre-cursor condition for hypoglycemia, check out www.mayoclinic.com and search for hyperinsulinemia.

I agree with the other answer. It could be due to a sudden drop in blood sugar in the brain, but it could be due to other things.

For now, go eat some meat and some vegetables/fruit or nuts. And do tell your responsible adult.

It happened to me around that age...the put me on blood pressure medication and a heart monitor and eventually the problem went away on it's own. See a doc asap.

You should tell your parents it might have been nothing maybe you just stood up too fast or something but it could be serious so you should get checked out especially if it continues

first of all TELL SOMEONE!!!! second of all there may be many reasons for blacking out. undiagnosed heart ailment, hyperglycemia etc, etc...

Low iron, Low blood pressure, lack of water intake or stress. I used to have a fellow student in university that had blackouts all the time and was very pale looking she was anaemic.

it's a serious question that should be directed to a doctor!!

what's wrong with you ??
Tell your parents to take you to the doctor.You just don't blackout for no reason
