So what do you do if you're out someplace and your friend is starting to feel faint. So, Hannah and I are having a good time and all of a sudden she starts to feel faint. If you are with her and she can feel it. You can feel the tunnel vision. You can feel things getting gray. Sometimes you feel like you can't hear as well, it's kind of cloudy. You can tell your friend. Hannah can tell me, "Hey I'm not feeling so good. I'm not feeling so hot. Something is going on." Don't put them in a chair that has no arms because they'll far right out of it. If you are near a wall and they start to feel like, ooh, I'm not going to make it, you can lean the person up against the wall and help the person slide down. Okay. So Hannah, you're going to faint and I'm going to help you down. Get the person close to your body as you can, because you have control of this and you don't want to be reaching around. If their head start to go side to side, put their head on your shoulder. And then you're just going to go down together to your knees, and then you're going to just lay her down. There you go. Always be careful of their head. I know you saw Hannah. Hannah has control of herself right now. But, you really want to make sure their head doesn't hit the ground hard. Then you're going to want to go into recovery position. So, you're going to bend and just kind of roll it over. That way if she has any fluids or if she's vomiting, everything can kind of roll out of her mouth and she won't choke on it. If you have access to any kind of cold compresses, ice, cool clothes, you want to do that. Put it on their forehead and behind their neck. Keep them down for a little bit and then slowly get them up. You do it little by little. There's no race. You just slowly help them up. You can go underneath the arm and have them, and then just have them sit for a little bit. Make sure they're okay. They may start to feel faint again, and if they do, you just roll them right back. You just nice and easy, there you go. And the same thing over to the side. If they continue to faint, you're going to want to call for help because something else could be going on. Oftentimes, whatever's going on will resolve itself after you have the person down and they've recovered. Sometimes it won't. You need to look for other things. You need to make sure that they're breathing. You need to make sure that they have a pulse. Sometimes people have other medical conditions that you don't know about that could interfere with what's going on with their consciousness. So, you're going to need to call for help. Call 911. Call out for someone to call for 911, and stay on the line with the dispatcher. If they stop breathing or if you don't feel a pulse, you're going to want to start CPR. The dispatcher can help you and walk you through what you need to do until help arrives.

Starry.night. slimers are you dating 😏
Starry.night. slimers You sneaky little slimer
wish that happened to me :<
only the crush catching me part AHAHAHAAHA
OMG LOL THAT HAPPENED TO MEE TOOO
LOVE THAT FOR UUUUU!!!
As a person who faints daily, elevating a persons feet is also SUPER helpful.

Me too, and thank you
It’s not getting blood flow back into the brain to regain consciousness, it’s the stimulation of the action. It’s been disproven that it helps people regain consciousness, but it never hurts to try unless fluid is leaving the mouth.
I fainted a home once because I hadn't eaten much and I was stressed and sick. I was in the hallway and everything was getting blurry and I thought it was just because I was light headed from being sick. That's when I went out cold.
Cali_Plays _Roblox that would have been quite scary!
NatureGirl567 the same thing happened to me
that happened to me today
No one in my family/school faints only me.Great.
Same
Same
Same and then I hit my head off a metal
Pipe 😅😫
same i've only fainted twice tho and my mom has fainted once
such a peaceful video when downstairs my parents and brothers are yelling at the T.V. for the Eagles to win
Ha ha lol
The mouth needs to be facing down for any drainage to occur. Also how about raising the legs to aid cerebral perfusion? This increases the speed of recovery.
I never fainted
I probably like fainted once and one time at a restaurant I almost fainted
I wish i faint
Mariah Campbell I fainted once, and nearly fainted a second time except after the first time I instinctively knew what to do and I fought fainting, is not impossible to control whether you faint or not.
Galaxy Head Why? For most people it’s terrifying, for me the time I fainted I wasn’t afraid at all, just confused
@@neenah9553 me too
Is anyone else upset that that wasn't the recovery position?
what is recovery position??
Sebastian Michaelis I think you hold their legs in the air
My Amigo well she’s a nurse she should know
That's fake. The folding legs up in the air thing is fake and also looks kinda embarrassing
I don't think so...
I tend to faint a lot (sadly) and people did that all the time with me. Same for our school nurse. I DOES help. I think you only have to lie down sideways if you feel nauseous.
Hmm this might be helpful, except i'm the one that passed out in the kitchen a couple days ago.. Luckily my mom was right there talking to me when it happened. She said one moment I was standing there talking and the next just flopped on the floor and started to violently shiver for a few seconds. All I remember was coming to and looking up at my mom from the floor wondering why I was on the floor in the first place. And boy was the sunlight coming in through the windows bright.
Shortly after that I passed out again and then the next thing I remember I was being hauled out of the house by the paramedics. Apparently my regular usage of energy drinks caused my blood pressure to plummet plus I was a little dehydrated. (I'd usually have 1 drink a day) I don't think I'll touch an energy drink again.. waking up with tubes in your arm and a bunch of wires glued to you isn't any fun, nor is uncontrollable body tremors/shivering or whatever it would be called, I wasn't cold so I dunno. I couldn't stop shaking for almost an hour after they had the IV in me.
Now I just hope I don't have any underlying problems, and this was just an isolated incident..
Erik Ray Me: This might be helpful considering the fact I almost fainted a restaurant back in April
If you're shivering then fainting is not the problem you should be worried about.
This helps a lot actually. Now I know what to do in certain situations. I actually fainted twice before.. the worst one happened a month ago. I was in a woodworking class in high school and the teacher brought us over to a thing called the "band saw" to talk about an incident that happened. I guess I don't like it when people talk about injuries or blood. One moment I was standing, the next I woke up staring at the ceiling. The paramedics came and I went in an ambulance to the hospital. It was scary. Apparently I fell straight back and hit my head hard on the floor. People apparently heard my head smack on the floor. 0_0
I just fainted and hit my head and then I went to RUclips and this was the first recommendation
Natalie 4620 Then how do you wake up dumbass
@@olgajanko4084 r/woooosh
@@olgajanko4084 they fainted and not died
Early last year I was really scared because I had to get a blood test. As my siblings were getting it done I was panicked in the corner of the room and I passed out and hit my head on a metal stool. I passed out a few times last year and it turns out I have iron deficiency, a past of heart issues and intense fear of needles. Please get yourself checked up even if you pass out just once!
😂
That recovery was so wrong, it was painful to watch
You have the same name as my late great grandmother. Fainting isn't good. I had weird dreams about it once or twice. 👍🏻 if you strongly agree.
Thank you for this information. Really helpful !
Thanks! You explained so clear !
Well, I'm the type to make the comments you're complaining about, but I also learn from the videos. Best of both worlds.
Definitely not new to the internet.
Thanks for this video, I keep fainting because of low blood pressure and my parents and siblings really need to see this video because they really don't understand
I faint quite a bit and when I'm with my girlfriend she can pick up on when I dont feel so great so she hugs me, so she can tell if I black out (bc I slump into her) and it stops me getting hurt. Freaked her out the first few times but she doesnt panic anymore. I'm so grateful for her
Sadly i fainted on public road , when i woke up im scared because i was lying on the floor for a second the most saddest thing is that no one is there to help me still now im not okay maybe it seems like im started to have stress ,,, when i was in bad condition my tears started to comes out because i thought if my mother is here she would help me and taking care of me .
30 mins ago, I'd been in the situation where a person was faint while I was going to work. Admittedly, I am quite afriad if I could really assist with the correct first stage of treatment. As her friend shouted for help and informed to be epilepsy. I, then, asked her friend to find something for the girl who got sympton. Later, I found out she was absolutely faint. I am feeling embarrased to myself for not helping much. Fortunately, the situation was occured around the hospital. So, I have to recurrently watch the correct First Aid instruction one. Now, I'm revised! *Appreciated*
Wait a minute why am I watching this when I'm the one that faints cause of my condition and I don't need help from people cause I have a service dog and one of her task is to alert when I'm about to pass out I'm so confused on why I clicked on thid vid
My friend has stared to faint kind of frequently so I'm trying to find out what I should do if it happens. Yesterday we went to a little party and he fainted, luckily one of his other friends is certified in first aid and was able to help him properly. But in a situation when he's not around I want to be able to help.
I was at the mall with my bf when all of a sudden my vision got blurry and started seeing grey spots, i couldn't hear much. Luckily my bf my right besides me when i fainted. He caught me just in time. Oof.
I fainted in the shower and luckily my boyfriend was with me. He caught me, took me out and layed me down on the floor and he put my knees up so that blood can flow up into my body. Someone told us this when we were younger, and it helps! I instantly gained consciousness again.
You both were in the shower 💀
You are SUPPOSED to elevate their legs to the chest to return blood flow. IT WORKS!
You can also lay them on the ground with theyr back facing the ground and put theyr both legs in ur shoulder or a chair so the blood comes down from legs to head.
very very useful,
thank you so much.
I took medicine and I am very sick. I walked upstairs then walked in the hallway I felt lightheaded and my ears were ringing and I felt really bad anxiety. I blacked out for like 10 seconds and woke up on the ground feeling perfectly fine. I am 12 years old and this happened today.
I passed out today in the salon and they made me smell strong perfume (contains alcohol)
I immediately woke up and felt better.
My vision was starting to turn all dotty and yellow and then I blacked out.
Thank you very much
i have fainted 3 times last year, and twice already this year. its always when im driving, no air conditioning. i need a switch or something that kills the engine if i pass out again, like on trains.
omg i had this feeling 2 times but i didn't pass out. i feel me so bad 😩 my head hurts too
ARMY 💜
I've been having a weird problem, usually, after a long time sitting down, when I stand my eye sight goes really weird for about 5 secs and feel dizzy for 5 secs, but today o nearly fainted, the same eye sight thing happens but LONGER, and my ears became very blocked for like 3 mins, I was also panicking but don't know if it was a panic attack, anyone know?
I had something similar. I was laying down for a while, and all of a saudades when I stood up everything went black. I fell to the floor, and my hearing was blocked, but my parents say it's normal. It's just because you're not used to sudden changes like quickly standing after sitting down a while :)
Alissa Simonyan
Woah, hope yo're okay now :) Thanks for the comment.
you're*
+Alissa Simonyan sudden**
+ItsRachy x3 oh yeah, it was months ago. But it happens quite often. I usually just try getting up slower, or sitting up first, then standing and moving so I don't get dizzy. You can try it too, if it helps ;D
This has happened to me one time... Great to know about this.
Is there a condition where people faint? My mom has thyroid issues, blood pressure problems and she faints sometimes and it's normally while laying down or sitting down. She can't get an answer as to why this is happening to her.
+Lacey Noel I have thyroid issues and blood pressure problems and I only fainted once. because of really low BP. it should NOT HAPPEN often
Same it happened to my mom 1 hour ago she was angry with my uncle and she threw every single glass!
ProG4life p
Lacey Noel narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy or cataplexy?
in my lifetime of 12 years I've fainted 15 times the first time I fainted in school was when it was 90° and we had to run a mile, later I decided to play a few rounds of badminton outside , as I faint I hit my head on the corner of one of the brick benches so now I am out cold , asthma sometimes causes me to faint and not only do I faint but my left arm convulses, none of the immature teens around me knew what to do so soon there was a crowd around me , and where were the 2 gym teachers , inside the gym with the 15 8th graders and the 22 7th graders that decided to play dodgeball, who finds me after 5th period is over, the science teacher and the English teacher ,
never again Mr Henderson
I showed everyone this vid and pointed out their flaws
+Fire Miester in the last 7 months I have fainted 8 times and twice teachers haven't caught me
In my lifetime of 12 years I fainted one time when I was little from a fever
In my life time of 12 years i have passed out over 70 times (we lost count at 70) hi i have POTS so I feel ya
I fainted once, it was too cold outside, my body especially my hands were freezing, when i came back home i went straight to the heater and in few seconds i felt extremely weird and i ended up fainting, i didnt even realize, i woke up on my mom's voice and the scent of lemon on my nose. Really such a weird feeling when u faint it feels like u slept forever and as if u went to another dimention and came back to the real world
muy bueno, muches gracias!
My sister faints a lot especially on the first day if her period. I just wanna make sure shes safe
Lmao I fainted in biology after we had to dissect a heart. That day I learned how squeamish I was.
Yep same
oh god yes my friend did this a few days ago and I'm now petrified of fainting
I got dizzy at the top of the stairs once and fell all the way down. Then I sat on a chair at the table and fainted, fell out of the chair, and hit my head really hard on the ground.
Should you not check to see if they are still breathing? then if they are put them on their side?
I just fainted at my friends house and I was on the bathtub and my friend caught me and I started shaking and puking what do you think was going on ? I have no idea what was happening
Thanks for helping me with what to do if someone is going to callapes
today i went to a cafe and someone beside me fainted and she started throwing up from her mouth and nose while she was fainted so i was so scared and i dont know what to do can someone tell me why she was throwing up while she was fainted?
@ Go Base
Feeling faint with anxiety/ panic attack is completely the opposite to feeling faint due to low blood pressure, low heart rate, low blood sugar, dehydration etc.
When you have a panic attack your blood pressure is actually high and so is your heart rate. You liver is releasing extra sugar to power your muscles to run, its all part of the flight and fight response. You feel dizzy and weird because you have too much oxygen in your blood and too little C02. Your mind feels dulled because all priority is going to the flight and fight reaction centre of your mind.
You feel detached from the world around you. Have you ever noticed a cat that is spooked by another cat? It will stay there frozen and tail bushed up and not even notice your presence. It's the flight and fight response that has dulled its mind and made it oblivious to the world around it so it concentrates on the danger in front of it.
In reality you will not faint with a panic attack, no matter how much you think that you will.
Sitting down and putting your head between your knees is only a safety behavior that will calm you down. The thing with panic for no reason is to face it and loose fear of it.
Sometimes people eg medical students will faint at sight of blood. But that's blood phobia and is the only type of fear/anxiety that results in blood pressure falling. It's an ancient primeval mechanism to prevent blood loss.
Finally have you seen movies where people are admitted to the ER thinking they are having a massive heart attack only for the doctor to takes tests and find everything is ok and they are perfectly healthy. Then tell them they had a panic attack?
Instead when you feel anxious or have a panic attack think about the awe of human physiology and the flight and fight response millions of years of evolution. But one thing is certain unless you have blood phobia you will not faint or have heart attack, stroke etc, unless you do have a real heart condition, or liver failure.
I have a blood phobia so the last time I fainted was the time at school where we where getting our blood drawn I took one look at the blood bag and I passed out for like 10 minutes. I had to lay on the floor for like 20 minutes after waking up with about 5 teachers around me.
What if a friend didn't know she was fainting n she did But she really hit her head hard should she go check up with a doctor? Even if she's fine after wouldn't there be internal bleeding??
Today at choir my friend Brain was having problems with stuff like not getting water and he fainted. he busted his nose and goodness blood was every were. i got to the point where i wanted to do cpr O.o
My friend fainted in class today it was scary nobody new what to do. Her head slammed on the desk and the teacher went 'friend that's not a good idea' she didn't realise she was fainting. We were in RE and we were learning about Aztecs so she saw blood and she just went down.
X.DaniMalloy 30 woah...then what happened? Was there any injury on her head?
Funny story that happened to me a few days ago
I was reading food labels and I saw the sodium content in just one serving of food and I randomly collapsed.
I just fainted in my bedroom after I stood up quite fast after laying down for quite a while. I couldn't see anything apart from little dots and when I "woke up" I was on the floor with a bashed head... Does anyone know what this is?
What about raising the legs?
I'm seeing different suggestions on every video
Fainted today in church. I remember everything slowly blacking out and not being able to breath well.
I looked this vid up because my mum fainted right in front of (im 13)
Yesterday at school i had a coughing attack and i suddenly knelt to ground next thing i remember is that i was sitting on a chair and a friend of mine who has asthma was helping me. I also fainted for a few times due to bp issues
I fainted today and after I woke up I could not see a thing it was pitch black my eyes were open abd Idk what caused me to faint
But I’ve heard that you aren’t supposed to sit up after fainting, you should lay down and rest but the doctor/idk who that’s watching needs to check if your breathing 😉
I think I nearly fainted 3 times.I felt dizzy and my eyesight changed to a dark grey color,luckily only for about 2-5 seconds
I was nearly fainting at a school trip and I felt nauseaus, shaky, and I really wasn't able to get someone because I couldn't move, it was horrible
Today my eyes went black and Got really cold and started sweating almost
Fainted during science
i was dizy ones and cold not see and hear but i could just stand and walk and i was put on a chair with no arm and i cold just controll myself...what happend to me then (that happens everytime i cut of the top of my finger and it starts to bleed) (happend twice)
One time I almost fainted at a shopping center while I was with my mom. Everything just started going black, so I had to have her lead me to the bathroom. I didnt actually faint, but I did throw up, but afterwords I was fine.
I semi passed out after I cracked my head open when I was about 12. I say semi cause I never lost consciousness, I just couldn't stand, couldn't feel my legs at all. My dad was telling me to stand up (he caught me when I fell) and I had to tell him I couldn't. Super scary!
I almost fainted for standing still for too long twice. My vision started to become all blurry and bright my ears were slightly ringing and couldnt hear much. Till the song ended i sat and felt a little better. Second time i was a altar server i had to hold the candle and my friend was holding the cross we both almost fainted.
The recording is serious, nice and friendly derrrrrrrr
I fainted in school in 1st I was in recess and I falled of a ladder thing and I falled hard and then I woke up on the ground
I got my middle school shots yesterday and I fainted at a restaurant so a girl helped my dad and when I opened my eyes,my legs were up in the air and I was sniffing hand sanitizer,then they made me eat a bunch of candy and soda.My dad said that my face went pale and my lips turned blue.When I felt like I was gonna faint my vision went all fuzzy and I couldn’t keep my balance,and then I told my dad that I felt like I was gonna fall,.
I just fainted today and i slide left from the wall and i got a scratch! Ouch!!
One time I fainted and no one believed me and I was out for 10 minutes! AND EVEN MY MOM didn't believe me!!

Redfirenicole same I fell hit my nose and was out for 10 minutes I woke up on the floor drunk water threw it up and fainted again people just laughed.
My cuzin fainted at zumba today,,, it was so scary and i didnt know what to do..lucily other ppl did
I know with anxiety attacks people sometimes feel very faint, tunnel vision, dizzy, weak etc, but they don't actually faint sometimes they even run from the stressful situation and feel ok after. So how's it possible to have the energy to run if your gonna faint?
I've had those same attacks before and it's weird... Ur about to faint but u never do . And u just wanna run away but still about to faint but never do.. It's fucking scary I haven't had a panic attack ever since I STOPPED taking those fucking anti depressents the doctors would perscribe for me for 5 years... Never take those piils they only make ur panic attacks worse.. 3 years now and not one single panic attack.. Took about 6 months to get off of Xanax though. Horrible withdrawals
I tripped once walking to the school car park and smacked my elbow on the pavement causing it to dislocate and also broke my tooth and ripped the neve out witch caused me to lose my vision (scary stuff)
I fainted once right after donating blood. Just as I put my elbow on the table and palm to my forehead, everything went black. I started to hear something in the distance "cough! Cough!" So i tried to cough. The more i did the more it, the louder it sounded and the black became gray then white then clear. That worked! They also had my feet elevated. I don't think i hit my head and i think it was all a matter of seconds, but i do know that i was on the ground with 3 people around me. One was holding my head, one my feet and the other to my right side.
after fainting is blood sugar 164 ok? for an adult man?Also should he sleep after?
I fainted for the first time on 2013 4th of July when I hit my head on the corner that sticks out of the furniture and I hit that on full speed, I got up, I fainted on the bed
I passed out and immediately jumped back up.
you sir , made my day :)
My boyfriend fainted in the shower today (he’s ok, I was in the room so I caught him and set him down safely and stayed with him until he woke up) so I’m watching a bunch of videos in case it happens again
My mate was feeling faint so I gave him a cold bottle of water and he is claustrophobic to darck room
I was riding my skateboard and I have no medical conditions and I passed out I was in and out and died for 10 seconds

@@yeonjun4thgenitboy. it's like for hours
@@yeonjun4thgenitboy. it's really scary because u think your gonna die
I fainted in a horse arena and just walked off towards the barn to recover.
I pass out regularly the first time I felt tunnel vision and I tried to tell my dad I was failing and then I fell and ended up hitting the dog cage hard and all I heard was my sad saying JACK JACK! And then I woke up. Lucky I didn't feel anything when I fell
I went cycling to this place, and took snaps for SC and i was hyped and didn't look tired, all of a sudden my vision just blacked out and i fell on da road lmao, my friend and one uncle immediately made me sit at a place nearby and my friend went and got juice for me, and when he got the juice i instantly came to consciousness and took a snap of my experience lmfaooooo.
What does the bag video
I fainted today and wanted to know what to do next time
My friend can do a better recovery position then that nurse and she's 11
Tq so much
Thank u
My best friend was on a roller coaster (it was the fastest highest in the whole park) he wanted to go for his first roller coaster I didn’t go cuz I’m short. My big brother was on there with him and he fainted my other best friend went with him and me brother she said he did when we saw him alive we screamed YOU LIVED
You were winking in whole video which make me fainted
How do you know if they’re just fainting and will wake up shortly vs a medical emergency?
(I am not a doctor)
ask them if they are okay, (you can yell and shake their head),,,
try to listen if they are breathing by keeping your ears close to their nose for 10 seconds, and look for their pulse, if they are breathing then change their position into recovery position, and if they are not breathing then go for CPR, remember gasping does not mean they are breathing, they need cpr
for more information, watch professional videos about cpr, i am doing the same, trying to understand these things😊
Everyone on here is like "oh here's a story of me fainting". I'm watching this for a book I'm writing.
I am am I cadet and you don’t put someone in the recovery position who is fainted you put the legs up and keep them warm
Doesn't she look like the older version of GlitterForever17???
Where is the thumbnail
I got a Arnott’s biscuit ad.
0:02 I think I’ve heard this from a PlayStation Vita game.
My friend fainted in class right by me. What was really scary though was that she jolted and I thought she was having a segure because I have never seen someone faint before, she got up a couple seconds later but it was so scary! I cried because I thought she was seriously hurt!
Maxine Rhodes oh god i faint a lot and the good thing my dad know what to do when i faint it’s super annoying and scary
how about what to do if someone become a Zombie ??
