Message: <blockquote data-quote="LittleSue" data-source="post: 33229" data-attributes="member: 6295">Thanks Dennis and Sue.Interesting reading.  Also looked it up on medicinenet which says much the same as Sue's link.  So I had situational vasovagal syncope, aka fainted at the sight of my own blood <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /> .Fine today apart from cut finger and a sore, bruised cheek.  On reflection I'm sure I did lose consciousness briefly. Wonder if when I felt the rough mat on my face, that was when I was coming round and moved my head, rather than on impact.  Someone gave me good advice today - if you feel it coming on sit or lie on the floor - no further to fall and less chance of injury if you do black out!  And don't stand for 5 mins fiddling with the first aid box etc before doing so.   I'll try to remember that.</blockquote>
