Also as someone who’s a bit health/wellness obsessed, I highly recommend NOT consuming any processed sugars because library/online research proves that any processed foods/non-natural sugar products weaken your immune system. Natural/organic, vegetarian/vegan, NON-GMO, plant-based products like fruits, vegetables, oats/grains, chewy granola bars, fruit smoothies, vegan protein shakes, protein bars, sugar-free vegan products, etc. are all things that can/will keep u healthy & energized so u won’t get too low on energy, fatigued or dizzy. You have to take every precaution because you’re still in your early-mid 20’s & that’s too young for u to be having any serious health problems. I’m informing u of these health/wellness tips because maybe u never considered doing these things. So out of care/respect for u, I thought u should know because it’s very important. REALTALK 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽😇😇😇
Hope you do better though. I am nurse w/ DNP and family NP cert about to get psych certified. I like watching your vids because it reminds me of me when I was younger six years ago full of aspirations. Take it easy. I would advise not do any gym or any activities that exert yourself. Also, as for someone who has worked in the ER in the past, the ER can also aggravate your heart d/t the fast pace environment. I suggest to ask your manager if they can put you less paced ER like triage or front desk to get pts admit until your cardiologist figures out what is going on. Also, I support your decision in regards to PA school. I will be praying for you. Be blessed.
Stress and anxiety can mimic heart attack like symptoms. I’m sure you’re aware of that already. Hopefully it’s nothing serious. I’ve had anxiety attacks that felt like heart attack’s and have ended up in the ER with negative results as well. Also have been to cardiologists and was told that I was clear there too. I’m 29, but was around your age (25 or so) when I started getting these stress/anxiety attacks. Best wishes for your health man, hang in there! Slow down a little bit and let God lead you to better health!
Dude, that's crazy! Get better bro! I have a question, it probably sounds stupid for me to say but I'm 22yrs old and I'm a sophomore in community college as RN major, do you think reading gets you a higher I.Q./test scores? Increase intelligence? Did reading, on your spare time, help you get through nursing school? I would like to hear from you. Its amazing to the motivation from someone who's been there and done that. I'm saying this cuz I personally I have family members that told me I wasn't "college material" I believe I am. So I began reading every night trying to increase my intelligence, do you think that's the right step? What's your advice?
been extremely busy with school. sorry to hear you're going through this. it seems like a cardiology issue tbh. the symptoms you described sounds like a low ef or some kind of cardiomyopathy. Hope all is well brother. keep us updated.
Im having the same symptoms and Im 24. Chest tightness, pain, SOB with exertion?fatigue, etc. All bloodwork and scans look fine in the ED. Im seeing the cardiologist tmrw. Update us when you can!
I hope you get better my man! Currently finishing up my last pre-reqs to apply to the BSN program at UNLV. I respect your process and hope the cardiologist can answer your lingering questions.
Could be overworking yourself which can place a lot of pressure on the body that you do not realize. Also could be a genetic heart condition. Cardiologist might do an echo or a stress test to see how your heart is working. Could be a valve issue. Overall, hopefully all goes well. We need good people like you out there
I’m so sorry that you are going through this. This is heartbreaking and really scary just hearing this. You are in my prayers. All will be well with you. Can they do a stress test? And echocardiogram 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Kaynen Brown, BSN, RN I was thinking perhaps anxiety about a big lift or having to rush your workout, or even some trigger in the gym? This could be compounded with other things going on, like a calorie deficit/dehydration, etc perhaps. I’ve felt really dizzy in some of the above situations before. Just a thought
Hey kaynen I hope you’re feeling well I’ve been following you on Instagram. I had very similar symptoms two years ago and it was pericarditis. They never found the cause of it. No bacteria nor viral infection. I know you are fasting and I think that fasting is also affecting these symptoms maybe ? Anyways hope you get better and get answers in your upcoming appointment.
I had a patient in the ER with the exact same things happening, had the same tests done and all came back normal. Its scary to not know whats going on but I ll be praying for you. Take care and hopefully you ll know whats going on soon.
Hope that the issue has a solution and will be over with. Brave of you to share. As healthy as one may appear anything can happen to us because we are human. Take it easy until then. Sending positive vibes your way.
I hope you feel better soon! I will pray that everything is okay.. i just recently had a health scare relating to cancer. By the grace of God everything turned out fine, and it was benign. I sure everything will get better soon!! God Bless you.
This period of time where you don’t know what’s going is always hard, my mom went through it many years ago. I hope you’ll soon find out what’s happening so you can take care of it and feel in control again
Hey brother, really sorry you’re going thru this. Much love and good vibes sent to you. May a speedy discovery of what’s wrong and recovery process be headed your way my friend! Thanks for updating us 🙏❤️
Feel better man I recently started watching your videos because I just changed my major to nursing. You’re a great example for male nurses especially young ones but I really hope you feel better and get well soon man.
I’ve had similar experiences turns out it was severe anxiety the whole time. I had my first panic attack at the gym and it brought on crippling chest pain. I’ll be praying for you brother.
Hope things get better soon!! Have you had an MRI? Any issues with a mass or anything pushing on nerves to trigger the syncope? Vagus nerve in particular? 🤷♂️ Since all other work up is clear that could be a possibility. Or anxiety. But hopefully perhaps an Echo can be done! Take it easy! 🤙
I sincerely/respectfully encourage u as the registered/certified ER Nurse ( healthcare provider) that u are to humble yourself enough to invest a few hours a day (2-4hrs) out of your free time to go shopping at either (Farmer’s Market, Vitamin Shoppe, Trader Joe’s, or Whole Foods Market) either by yourself or with people u trust who are serious health/wellness experts, so you don’t get lightheaded again. We are what we eat/consume and again, “Health is the new wealth!” I wish you all the best Kaynen!🏃🏽♂️🏃🏽♂️🏃🏽♂️🏋🏽♂️🏋🏽♂️🏋🏽♂️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽😁😁😁
I highly recommend you consume healthy natural/organic products (Vegetarian/Vegan, Non-GMO, plant-based products, grass-fed/farm-raised meats, organic foods/beverages,etc.) that are high in iron, zinc, potassium, natural/organic energy-based products that are high in vitamins, minerals & nutrients that you don’t typically get from what u normally eat on a daily. I genuinely recommend this because as a healthcare provider, all the patients you care for, your closest friends, family, fellow coworkers, significant other(s) need u super healthy, able-bodied & at the top of your game. Health, fitness, overall wellness & a squeaky clean high protein diet is the new wealth, not how much money you make.....💆🏽♂️💆🏽♂️💆🏽♂️
Wishing you a speedy recovery and peace of mind as you figure out the medical reasons for what you're going through. It seems like you have a loving team to walk out this journey with. Hope you begin to feel better ASAP. 🤞🏽
Also, something else I just thought of is years ago I used to work out, I took creatine pills, and I would have crazy dizzy spells. Like everything in my field of view would be turning clockwise in circles.Happened while I was driving to go work out, had to pull over, craziest thing ever lol.... I quit the pills and I was fine, so something to think about maybe also if you are taking any supplements.
So sorry to hear about your condition. I hope everything goes well with your appointment. It can be scary when you don’t know exactly what’s going on with your body.
Thank you for the update and it'll be alright man. ER nurse here and very interesting what's going on. Can't wait to see what the appointment brings. Hopefully no more fasting either lol. Praying for you man.
Hi Kaynen I will say a prayer for you and please keep the faith that everything will be OK. God bless you please keep us informed and take care of yourself
Is it fair to say people who go into nursing school are prepared to get accidental shots by HIV? I know people are afraid of getting into that scenario but it's possible with some crazy pscyho patients. That mentality I think has to be prepared early on
Also as someone who’s a bit health/wellness obsessed, I highly recommend NOT consuming any processed sugars because library/online research proves that any processed foods/non-natural sugar products weaken your immune system.

What did they say?
I hope you get better my man! Currently finishing up my last pre-reqs to apply to the BSN program at UNLV. I respect your process and hope the cardiologist can answer your lingering questions.
Ignacio Hernandez Olivares Thank you!! Good luck. :)
Could be overworking yourself which can place a lot of pressure on the body that you do not realize. Also could be a genetic heart condition. Cardiologist might do an echo or a stress test to see how your heart is working. Could be a valve issue. Overall, hopefully all goes well. We need good people like you out there
Hope you get better soon. I’m surprised they didn’t do a cardiology consult in the ED with an echo.
Any updates?
Do you take workout supplements? My lil brother passed out at the gym from a supplement he was taking
I’m so sorry that you are going through this. This is heartbreaking and really scary just hearing this. You are in my prayers. All will be well with you. Can they do a stress test? And echocardiogram 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sorry for what happened. I hope you feel better and have a good prognosis. Have you tried ruling out psychologic causes?
Adnan A not yet:/. I thought maybe anxiety, but it really would not explain why I pass out during exercise.
Kaynen Brown, BSN, RN I was thinking perhaps anxiety about a big lift or having to rush your workout, or even some trigger in the gym? This could be compounded with other things going on, like a calorie deficit/dehydration, etc perhaps. I’ve felt really dizzy in some of the above situations before. Just a thought
My prayers are with you. We are all wishing for the best. Stay in there and be positive bro
Hey kaynen I hope you’re feeling well I’ve been following you on Instagram. I had very similar symptoms two years ago and it was pericarditis. They never found the cause of it. No bacteria nor viral infection. I know you are fasting and I think that fasting is also affecting these symptoms maybe ? Anyways hope you get better and get answers in your upcoming appointment.
That sounds really scary. I’m really hoping you get better and figure out what’s going on soon. Best of luck ❤️
Rima A I appreciate you!🙂
Im sending prayers out to you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I had a patient in the ER with the exact same things happening, had the same tests done and all came back normal. Its scary to not know whats going on but I ll be praying for you. Take care and hopefully you ll know whats going on soon.

That's some pretty scary stuff, man. I hope you get some answers soon and start feeling better.
Feel better bro! That’s troubling
Could it be hyperthyroidism? The way you described the timeline of symptoms sounds like a hormonal change. Hope you figure this out, and get better!.
Praying for you my brother!!!! God is a present help!!!! Thank you for sharing with us
Feel better man I recently started watching your videos because I just changed my major to nursing. You’re a great example for male nurses especially young ones but I really hope you feel better and get well soon man.

Thank you for being transparent. I hope you get a diagnosis soon. I know this is scary but it will all get figured out soon.
Charde Vance You’re welcome! Thank you so much ☺️
Maybe panic attacks bro
Also, something else I just thought of is years ago I used to work out, I took creatine pills, and I would have crazy dizzy spells. Like everything in my field of view would be turning clockwise in circles.Happened while I was driving to go work out, had to pull over, craziest thing ever lol....

So sorry to hear about your condition. I hope everything goes well with your appointment. It can be scary when you don’t know exactly what’s going on with your body.
Sorry about everything Kaynen. I hope answers are found soon at the cardiologist
Perhaps Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)?
So what was the issue?
Man...Someone close to me has syncopal episodes. Hope you can get some answers.
Hope everything comes out well bro! Stay strong!!💪🏻💪🏻 💯
Joseph Martinez Thank you joseph!
Thank you for the update and it'll be alright man. ER nurse here and very interesting what's going on. Can't wait to see what the appointment brings. Hopefully no more fasting either lol. Praying for you man.
RichardEricXXVII Hahah I know right. I actually stopped fasting before this had begun. :/
Though I never passed out I dealt with similar symptoms and it was later ruled to be severe anxiety. Hope all gets better for you!
Young King I hope that’s all this is!

Is it fair to say people who go into nursing school are prepared to get accidental shots by HIV? I know people are afraid of getting into that scenario but it's possible with some crazy pscyho patients. That mentality I think has to be prepared early on
Ralph Ng Yes this can happen!!!
