I came upon this term while searching for more info on fainting.
The thing is, I don't lose consciousness when I suddenly fall down. I just suddenly feel my legs getting weak and I fall. This happens after I get up after sitting for a long time. Often my vision is dimmed or goes black. I fall down, but I don't lose consciousness. Can this be a vasodepressor reaction caused by meds?
One doctor seems to think it is caused by meds.
Anyone ever heard of falling without losing consciousness?
I feel absolutely fine after the fall. Also I think my body retains some control as I fall as I don't get hurt when I fall.
It's very odd! Anyone have any clues on what is going on?
