Faint: Do you mean pain? Or. Dizzy ? Drink some Gatorade and see if it helps.

What does it mean when a 14 yr old female teen gets dizzy, faints, turns purple, gets cold, and body jumps while unconscious with eyes open?
27 y old female. Woke up this morning multiple times and couldnt even keep my eyes open. I was falling back asleep when I was doing things. I was still laying in bed bcuz it was early but Im just curious of what causes this. Should I worry?
Feeling in head like blood rushing..Vibrating like with faintness and dizziness. Feels like it has to do with my eye movement...Simply moving eyes.
Last two weeks, feeling faint when i'm trying to get up from laying down, having problems concentrating, and sometimes vertigo while turning my head. During vertigo my eyes gloss over and i black out.
What do you suggest if my spouse has mg and takes lengthy naps multiple times throughout the day whenever his eyes get "droopy." is this normal?
