What does it feel like before you pass out?

Passing out is never a fun experience for anyone involved, except maybe for bystanders who like watching people faint. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to pass out, then look no further! In this article, we’re going to explore the ins and outs of passing out.

Introduction

Before we dive headfirst into this topic (pun intended), let’s first establish what passing out actually means. Passing out is defined as losing consciousness due to a lack of oxygenated blood flow to the brain. This can happen for various reasons such as dehydration, low blood sugar levels, standing up too quickly or even seeing something horrifyingly gross (cue vomit emoji).

The Beginning

So how does one know they are about to pass out? Well, there are several symptoms that precede loss of consciousness including:

  • Dizziness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Tunnel vision
  • Ringing in ears
  • Feeling hot or cold

Essentially your body begins playing an unpleasant game with you where it tries all its tricks to convince you that things aren’t right but gives you no indication on how serious things actually are.

The Middle

Once these initial symptoms begin setting in does not mean doom is inevitable just yet; thankfully there some steps one can take here if they do not want their lights switching off without permission:

1) Sit down: might seem obvious but stop whatever activity causing dizziness and restres your feet by sitting on grounds whose only priority isn’t being clean.

2) Lower Your Head: Gravity sometimes need free will which can go against us when pushing blood towards our head makes dizzy spells worse so lowering oneself proves helpful

3) Deep Breaths: Take slow deep breaths from diaphragm region (where all good singers sing from)- inhale through nose exhale via mouth repeated rapidly may make uncomfortable feeling ease off.

4) Close Eyes: less light to deal with means less processing for the brain; close those eyes and let your head rest a bit. Embarrassment from doing so is waived as you have already embarrassed yourself by getting dizzy in the first place.

The End

So, if despite these steps our good friend is still on her/his way to blackout ville we got some additional information headed our way:

  • Sweating excessively
  • Feeling nauseous
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Pale skin

These are all signs that things are definitely not going well in terms of oxygen flow and should be treated seriously. Loss of consciousness will happen soon at this point.

Conclusion

While passing out isn’t typically synonymous with fun (for those who experience it), there’s no denying that it makes for an interesting topic examined through humorous perspectives such as above. Remember though, always treat lack of oxygen seriously especially when accompanied by excessive sweating, heart palpitations or reduced vision/sensitivity to sound.
