why do i pass out when i'm being sick?

Accepted Answer

Multiple reasons: Very broad question.  Depends on type of illness and severity.  Co morbid  conditions, medications, and general health status.

Hard to guess: The old rule of 3's may or may not apply. You can go 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water &amp; 3 weeks without food. A lot would depend on ancillary factors like pre-existing health, weight, environment, etc. It would not be a good way to diet, since most who fast overindulge later &amp; get heavier. It could have long term negative effects on various organ systems.

11 days: the record for staying awake is a little over 11 days. Though after several days without sleep people hallucinate and end up with psychosis.  It is very unhealthy to stay up for prolonged periods and is not recommend .

Question 9

why could i pass out after hitting my elbow super hard?

Accepted Answer

Funny bone: Vasovagal syncope, one of the most common causes of fainting, occurs when your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme pain. Hit your funny bone hard enough and, if your are prone to fainting, you may find yourself waking up on the floor.

Question 10

how low could my blood sugar get before i pass out?

Accepted Answer

Depends upon: How quickly it drops. Answer is extremely variable. I have had patients with glucoses as low as "0" on a lab sugar who were still alert and communicating. Most often, your body will raise your sugar back to normal before any severe damage is done, unless you're on diabetes medication such as insulin.
