Fainting in Nightclubs

xLisaBx · 12-12-2014 10:27PM #1

Embarrassingly enough, I've started fainting in nightclubs. I get the familiar feeling and have about 2 minutes to get to a bathroom and faint in it (to preserve my dignity). It's not due to drunkenness, I drink very little and don't have this problem drinking at home. I've started wearing super light clothes to stop overheating.
Any ideas what's happening? Not asking for medical advice as I've been to doctors before over fainting (quick teenage phase).

Could it be a touch of Boogie Fever?

What nightclubs do you go to where lying on the bathroom floor is more dignified than collapsing in some dark corner?

Brain haemorrhage?

Influenza?

Dickie Rock concert?

Lack of sugar before going out?.my buddy had that problem and went doctors etc until he looked online and decided a can of coke would work. Hasn't fainted in ages since he started this idea.

Lots of flashing lights in the club?

Ah right. You should probably get to a doctor. You may be diabetic or on the way there.

I think you've had a bit too much sugar

Don't blame it on the Boogie.

I'll try this

usually drink cokes on nights out, with or without vodka, but maybe the nights I've fainted I didn't.

Low blood pressure?

I'm really starting to wonder if it's the lights, I don't faint anywhere else so it can't really be a medical condition. Allergic to nightclubs? Doubt it

maybe its the mitsubishi's?

I used to faint in Mass as a teenager, I'd get lightheaded and my eyesight would slowly start to fade while standing. It would pass after a few moments of sitting down with my head in my lap. Scary though.

I still get it the odd time, nothing eating properly was the cause in my case.

If his name wasn't Dr Beat then you're doing it wrong.

Maybe. But only in nightclubs?

Lack of oxygen in a confined space. Used to happen to me all the time in meeting rooms in my last company.
The clubs you are going to must be very badly ventilated and/or packed. It's quite dangerous as it can come on fast and you can fall the wrong way.

I'd suggest talking to your doctor but not much you can do save be careful what situations you are putting yourself in. Try find clubs that are a bit airier or simply get regular fresh air.

That sounds like this type of fainting! Not an all of a sudden drop, you know it's going to happen.
