Im 13 years old and this happens to me. For a while now, I stretch back and I feel very very light headed. So far, 3 times I have passed out. The first time, I was doing homework. I stretched back and then woke up in my seat wondering who I even was. It took me 5 seconds to realize that I am a 13 year old boy who has to do homework. The other 2 times, I just stretched back and woke up and knew who I was. But a diffrent time, while I was in science class, my teacher was talking and I stretched back and I could not remember anything. I could have passed out but I dont remember. But as I was remembering what was going on, something in the room that was making a noise that does not make a loud noise became very loud. So loud, I felt the need that I should point it out to the teacher and ask what was going on. But I did not because since nobody else had a strange look on their face and the teacher was talking over the sound, I said nothing. But that stuff is rare to me. What is common is that when I stretch back, which is often, I get a very tingly feeling. I have never taken any drugs but I feel that what i am feeling would be similiar. It feels very good and I do not want it to stop until I realize that what is going on is not good. The reason why I am now worried and writing on a site is because I just passed out about 20 minutes ago and now im concerned that I might do it in school and make a fool of myself by stretching, walking around the room, and going back to my seat not even knowing what I had just done.
during the last few years I've got up stretched and passed out. That happens two times. Then other times I've streachef and felt dizzy
today I got up and I streched an then felt a little wierd like I was shaking but I wasn't and then next thing you no my teacher was say are u okay go see the nurse and then I found out I fainted that was the worst experience of my life
I came here simply cause I had this happen (I'm only thirteen and this happened in class)
I stretched so hard and let's just say, I didn't feel anything for two whole minutes... I was paralyzed, (not exactly, I just didn't feel like moving) and I didn't think, I didn't care, and for those two minutes I had the most bizarre feeling ever, my vision was warping around, I felt like sleeping while my friend just stared at me, I don't remember if he attempted to snap me out of this "trance" I had. It was a scary, but good feeling. And afterwards I still felt like I was in a dream, I felt like the world wasn't real, and I had two things in my brain: "Is life real anymore?" "Will I ever feel the same way about life again?" And my friend came up to me and pulled my ear (which worked almost instantly).
hi, fellow sufferers. i also suffer from blacking out when i stretch. The first time it happened was when i was 14, i put my shoes on and stood up, then stretched, next thing i was waking up on the floor and my dad rushing in. I used to get up at 3 am every morning to do the most paper rounds ever by anyone so i just put it down to exhaustion and moved. Then when i was 16 it happened after i started work, i got out the car after sitting for a while, stretched and found myself waking up with a work colleague worrying. I felt fine but work told me to go doctors, i went doctors and they found nothing wrong. I am 32 now and i still get them every now and then but i learn to control it and love the feeling. always after sitting for long periods, tired, or hungover, i never black out anymore because i feel it coming and stay conscious of my surroundings, so i just sit back and feel my body buzzing and my hearing being wierd. I know i have always had a slow heart rate all my life, and after going round google reading other peoples stories about hyper tension ect i have come to the best conclusion. which is, Think of your muscles has sponges, when you relax your blood pools together in the sponges, so when you get up and stretch your basically wringing all your sponges out and putting all your blood back into circulation, that of course causes a rush of blood to the brain with little oxygen causing the knock out effect. Its been 18 years and i have never had any problems with it, i just enjoy the effects of it now, its nothing to worry about. (only except its nothing to worry about if you have done your research and agree you have the same as what i have).
