could've been shock or pain. I don't know what to tell you. I'm glad you're okay though.

Well I don't know what it could be. I think you are going to stump everyone... Haha!

i pass out each and every time i sprain my left ankle. my dr said its sudden pain that will do that to some people. i have been passing out since i was 17 and im 44 now.. not fun... im that much more careful tho not to have any sudden sharp pain lol..

I pass out with any kind of sharp pain. It's happened ever since I was eight. I remember passing out on the playground, in class, in the bathtub (there was no water in it -- long story). Then it didn't happen for about ten years. The next time it occurred, I was 20 (eight years ago). I had been dating my boyfriend for two years. He and I used to joke around a lot. He grabbed a little kids fake golf club and whacked me in the knee with it on Easter Sunday at his aunt and uncle's house in front of all the kids. I don't even remember hitting the ground. When I woke up, there was my boyfriend, his mom, and, like, eight little cousins of his. It's happened like three more times since then, on ice, on a trampoline.

Whenever it happened, I would be out for, I guess, like 30 seconds to a minute. I am a wreck for at least a full day afterwards. I am disoriented, very emotional, and exhausted. After the time on Easter Sunday, I was uncontrollably crying, I was combative. I asked my mom if she remembers this happening to me when I was growing up, and she explained to me that I am just like her. She said when she was giving birth to me, my aunt kept having to slap her awake.

I think maybe blood loss.. but did you bleed a lot when you cut yourself? If you were in a sitting position and then just had gotten up...maybe you have orthostatic hypotention = which means you had low blood pressure when you stood up. This sometimes happens when you are dehydrated or sometimes not depending on what else is going on. Some people complain of dizziness and passing out, etc. You should go to the doc, those symptoms can be a precursor to something serious plus you may need a tetanus shot. Just some ideas hope this helps

Oh my goodness I hope that heals soon!

You know, the last few times I've gashed open a finger or something, I've actually felt really nauseaous and dizzy and faint too. i don't know why it happened, but I think it's a combination of seeing blood and feeling pain and me being a wuss

I fainted last summer for no reason -- I was going to bed at 3AM (I don't remember why so late) and I just randomly felt completely sick and weird and down I went, slamming my head very hard into a table ... eek. It's an unpleasant experience, I agree!
