Q: can a bulging disc in your neck cause you to pass out?

: Intense pain can induce vasovagal reactions in susceptible individuals resulting in syncope. A true "bulging disc" would be most often an incidental finding of no consequence and would be a very unlikely culprit. Would look elsewhere for an explanation. See your doctor, or have a virtual consult here at HT (www.connect@healthtap.com).
