This exactly what jut happened to me! Everything went white! It's crazy and scary! Right after it happened I had a panic attack. I called my grandmother because she's a doctor, she said that what happens was called an Aura Migraine.

This just happened to me about an hour ago. I just got out of the shower and then my nose started bleeding. I then cleaned it up and walked into my room, but then i could barely breathe. I couldn't move enough to put on any clothes so i sat down in my towel for about thirty seconds, and then i started to see black dots. I called my dad to my room and i told him what was happening, then my hearing faded and i could hear a high frequency tone. I then lost all sight, and though my eyes were open, i could only see black. my dad was freaking out at this point because he thought i was having a stroke or something. after about two minutes of being blind i drank a bit of ice water, which kind of helped. i then started to gain back my vision, everything had little purple lines or it. after another five minutes my vision was back to normal. the frequency tone continued for about ten minutes but then faded. i couldn't stand up for about fifteen minutes. i'm a 13 year old female and i'm very scared by this experience. i'm going to the emergency room soon. very glad to see that other people have experienced it also.

I've been getting the same thing for almost 3 years. It happens usually when I stand up, my vision goes black and grainy like television static, and my hearing goes all slow motion and distorted. I went to see my doctor today and they can't find anything. I'm having and ECG tomorrow though.

I had something simuler but I blacked out with my eyes open and I was in front of my door. I was cleaning and was letting my dog out when my vision disappeared and I didn't know how long it was for.

I have the same thing. It's called a Panic Attack and they happen out of nowhere in your sleep or just being in a uncomfortable position.  I would be just walking and My eyes are open but everything goes black, so weak, sweating, dizziness I cant breathe and i thought i was having a heart attack. Its terrible but i take medication for anxiety for about 5 years now, i started having this when i was 16 to and i am 19 now. The medication really helps.

The same thing happened to me, it would happen frequently and more so in showers. I went to the doctor and had many many tests done, they found out my heart beat was slow and abnormal at times, it's hereditary in my family, also i'm anemic, so you may want to get it checked out, that's just what i was diagnosed, hope all is well :)

This happened to me today at school I wasn't cold and I didn't have goosebumps but I had nobody to help me and there was nobody around so I felt for a wall and then closed my eyes for like two minutes and when I opened them again everything started to come back together and I went back to my lesson feeling perfectly normal

I was driving to another city with my family and we went out to dinner, all I ate was chicken and rice or something and the next morning when I woke up, I couldn't get up cuz I literally felt like I was dying. I felt so nauseous but then I ran to the bathroom and puked and when I came out I was like ok I feel better, it'll probably disappear when I drink water. As we were walking down the stairs (we had to walk 4 flights of stairs to reach ground floor) my vision started blurring and blacking out. I grabbed on to the handle and literally sprinted down all 3 floors before my vision could disappear. Then my parents were trying to figure out what was happening and I sprinted out the hotel into the parking lot and my vision went black. It was pitch black but the weird part was that I could see the outline of the cars and the people but they were outlined in red, like they were glowing like heat. idk
