reason for concern?

[timepiece]

So this morning, in the shower, I started to feel a kind of buzzing in my head, and my vision started to turn black. This has happened to me before, periodically since at least college. So I just sat down for a minute until it started to go away, and then stood back up. Then I opened my eyes again to discover I was back on the floor, stuff had been knocked off the little shelf, and the stall door had been knocked open. Not a good sign.

So, considering that I asked the doctor about this in college, and she said she couldn't find anything wrong except maybe blood pressure on the low end of the scale, is this something I need to worry about? Is it because of the weight loss? Or maybe the recent influx of caffeine (Rich has rediscovered our coffeemaker)?

Sweetie, see a doctor, preferably a neurologist. SOON. I don't want to upset you, but one of my daughter's friends has a seizure disorder that operates similarly to what you describe- she has an 'aura' and then loses track of time. You do NOT, repeat NOT want this to happen while you are driving!

Thr friend's issues are wll controlled by medication so she gets through life just fine. But this is something that deserves attention.

Sending love and light to you.

Not to discount your friend's experience, but I'm pretty sure this was a faint, not a seizure. My vision went black, but there was no aura (I get them from migraines, so I know what you mean). And as I said, I asked a doctor about the exact same thing the first time it occured, and she didn't seem concerned.
