Convulsive syncope?

For a bit of background, after a very stressful period about a year ago, I started having episodes where I’d suddenly almost faint while walking, and I passed out once. Those episodes eventually stopped. During another blood draw months later, I almost passed out again (i assume that i was fighting it because i WAS awake but my head was lolling left and right, backwards and forward. They gave me warm water with sugar for some reason) and had what felt like a panic attack, so ever since then I’ve been extremely anxious about getting blood taken.
A few days ago I had to get blood work done for my driver’s license.
I warned the nurse that I get really overwhelmed during blood draws and asked if she could make it as quick as possible.
She inserted the needle, and at first I was okay. The last thing I remember is seeing her walk over to her station, then everything went black.
From my perspective, I genuinely believed I was at home having a horrible nightmare. I had no idea I was still in the hospital. It felt like I was caught in a tornado and being thrown around REALLY aggressively. I remember trying to escape it, and I had the feeling that I was gripping onto something tightly.
According to my dad, my eyes rolled back, I started convulsing like I was having a seizure, and I was gripping the chair extremely tightly.
I don’t know how long it lasted, but when it started, the nurse had only inserted the needle. By the time I came back, the blood draw was completely finished, the needle was out, and there was already a cup of water waiting for me.
When I regained awareness, I panicked for a few seconds because I genuinely thought I had just woken up from a nightmare. Then I realized I was still in the hospital and started crying because it was one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Does this sound like convulsive vasovagal syncope, or something else?.. just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or knows what this type of episode is called.

Has anyone experienced this after a blood draw? It looked like a seizure but I’m not sure what it was.

Salam hamiya :)

Men SHEIN-den sifaris vermisdim. Sifaris zamani diqqet etmemisem ki, hesabda hele de anamin melumatlari qeyd olunub. Eyni ayda anam da oz adina texminen 297 ABŞ dollarliq sifaris verib. Men oz sifarisimi xalam qizinin adina beyan etmisdim, lakin gorunur ki, SHEIN melumatlari gomruye anamin adi ile teqdim edib. Menim sifarisimin deyeri ise texminen 299 ABŞ dollar olub (catdirilma pulsuz idi).
Bu gun mene baglamanin saxlanilmasi ile bagli bildiris gelib ve Aramex ofisine yaxinlasmagim, senedi goturub airporta getmeyimin lazim oldugu bildirilib.

Bu halda limitin asilmasi ve eyni shexs adina iki sifaris gorunmesi sebebinden menimden ne qeder gomruk odenisi ve ya cerime teleb oluna biler? Xahis edirem melumat veresiniz.

Teshekkur edirem.

Does anyone else get painful hunger on their period??

So this is happening to me for the first time and I’m wondering if anyone else experiences this on their period 😭😭

I’ve been dieting for a long time now and I’m usually in a 1300 calorie deficit (or eating around that amount consistently), and normally I’m completely fine. But since yesterday, I’ve been feeling STARVED in a way I’ve never felt before.

Not cravings. Not “I want snacks.” I mean actual painful hunger. My stomach starts hurting really badly like I haven’t eaten in days, and it even gives me this weird chest/heart hurting feeling too. It’s not period cramps and it’s not from being cold or anything.

Yesterday I ate normally like I always do, but the pain got so bad that I ended up eating a wrap because I genuinely felt like I was dying from hunger 😭 Then a few hours later it happened AGAIN. I was trying to sleep but I literally couldn’t because the hunger pain was so intense, so intense I was whimpering in pain and discomfort. I ended up wrapping cloth tightly around my stomach just so the pressure would calm it down enough for me to fall asleep.

Now it’s happening again today😓

Is this normal on periods?? Like does your body suddenly need way more food sometimes? Because this has genuinely never happened to me before and it feels insane and will lowk ruin my progress at this point

Caesar wrap with no oil home made tortilla

How many calories do you think this is?
The filling is not a lot so theres a gap inside idk how to explain. Its like loosely wrapped.
The tortilla is baked and has 0 oil

Oreos are for comparison!

The salad did not have mayo btw. It was creamy but not sure what they used. It had beans, croutons, chicken bits and corn. The chicken was not oily and was made in sweet chili

Gpt said 950 calories😭
