These People Fainted in Public Places 

When you’re a healthcare worker, you have no idea how terrifying it is when a patient faints in front of you for the first time.

So embarrassing to faint in public. I got hit with heat sickness and dehydration at a concert once and had to get walked out of the crowd by paramedics fainting several times along the way. Oof.

29 years alive and still never fainted or broken a single bone

When I had the c-section with my oldest, the doctor showed my husband my uterus. Giving him an "anatomy lesson" as she called it. This tiny little nurse (I'd guess 5'2 and 100lbs) got behind my 6'3 280lb husband like SHE was gonna catch him. He would've flattened her if he had've passed out. Luckily, stuff like that doesn't affect him.

It's crazy how heavy people get when they faint. I tried to break a patient fall and it felt like a brick wall collapsed on me.

I've fainted in public many times. It's scary and embarrassing. Sometimes NOBODY helps you, and that's the worst.

Never fainted until I exerted myself too much after giving blood. It really is a scary feeling like you’re sinking into yourself. A total lack of control. Stay safe and on your feet, everyone.

The nurses just casually stepping around the unconscious man on the floor will never stop being funny to me

Nurse: oh, another one fainted during labour. Husband who fained: *crawling* take some photos.

I'd say if you feel yourself getting lightheaded and about to go, quickly get down onto the floor, so you don't bump ur head.

Vasovagal syncope is not really a condition or disorder, it's the name of the fainting episode. Its the most common cause of fainting. The heart rate and blood pressure lower dramatically very suddenly. Coffee lowers your blood pressure and dehydrated you, so with a few cups and no food, she activated her fainting reflex.

Even a verbal description of something graphic can get me feeling light headed and close to passing out. As one example, of multiple, I was in high school Health class when we were watching a video of someone who had too much to drink, fell, and went to the hospital needing immediate attention. Just from the sound of what was going on, I wanted to pass out so I wouldn't have to hear it.

Syncope is no joke, it's scary when someone plops on the floor while either doing something strenuous or not. Be careful. Orthostatic hypotension can also cause you to faint.

I once fainted at the post office. It was hot and I hadn’t eaten anything all day. I was fine, but now I never leave the house without having something to eat first.

I fainted before 💀💀 Best nap I ever took, felt so good when I woke up. However, I landed on my chin, almost but my tongue off. Shattered 4 molars

Wow fainting is so crazy especially in a public place it's very frightening🤔

I have blackouts from POTS, people where I live always come to help, I’m in northern England.

The only time I ever fainted in public was in a lift at work. Extreme dieting and being on my feet for hours smh. Scary. Most cases with fainting, you can feel yourself going. That deadlift one was scary.

For the last one...the one where the father fainted while his wife saw the epidural needle...at the hospital where I delivered my 3 children, my husband was asked to come around in front of me because of the possibility of him passing out. From my understanding, this is the standard policy at the hospital where I delivered.

As a fainter there is nothing to be embarassed about, I now know when i' m going to pass out so I make sure i' m safe, I tell the person i' m with to so they don' t freak out, lol, fainting is not a fun feeling.

It has to be an absolutely terrifying moment for the person fainting. I've had a few close calls, but was very afraid if I did lose conscienceness that I wouldn't wake back up, so I fought it with everything in me. I would jump up, run outside and get some cold fresh air did some deep breathing in the cold air. I would be fine in just a few minutes. It's also terrifying to see it happen to someone else because you have to check their vitals and be prepared to do cpr if they're not breathing. Scary! The same thing goes if someone has a seizure which is scary as well. We have to take care of each other on the spot!

I was very close to passing out twice while giving plasma, it was scary bc my hearing started to fade and I felt all tingly and the loss to control over your actions is terrifying. Nurses that were there put alcohol pads under people’s nose to help keep them alert I guess but it made it worse for me bc I fr felt like I was fading faster and I was panicking internally. I had to hold my breath bc the damn lady kept shoving the pad up my nose 😭

The beauty pageant did NOT try her best to stop the other woman from hitting her head on the floor, when you "try your best" you either stop it or fall with the other person

I was officially diagnosed with vasovagal syncope last year. They diagnose through a tilt test, electrocardiogram, etc. the tilt test was the most torturous thing I have ever done. If you know, you know…

The first time I fainted I thought i was dying

I’ve blacked out twice from vasovagal syncope & both times had stitches in my face from how I fell. If this happens to anyone and you go to ER always always always get plastic surgeon on call to sew up face. I can hardly see my scars now. Happened several yrs ago.

I want to see the video when all the Inside Edition staff fainted when trump won 2016

i fainted in my latin class right in front of my crush😭😭😭

"Quite a, quite a.... ✨turdinimagineh inah~ ✨"

Poor Cody he worked so hard having that baby with his wife 😂 bless it

I’m 10 now and when I was 6 or 5. I was preforimg with the other kindy students and it was hot so I fainted. And the other kids were confused on what happened to me. They didn’t know what happened. Most parents just laughed at my fainted because it looked “funny” my mom was there with her frends and they told my mom. And mom helps me with the teacher.

When I saw this all I was thinking about was when I learned during a family game(my family made up a game that is just a bunch of trivia questions about our family and the question was which 3 people got hurt at the air port) that my cousin had fainted in the airport before.

I literally was walking through winco monday sat and waited for chicken with my gf, it started getting hot I was sweating and feeling dizzy, swing the tunnel I walked so fast to the first bottle of water I seen almost falling over then made my way back, don’t worry I purchased the water, but as I got to self checkout it happened again, I sipped the water and made it to the car, when I tell y’all I sat in that mf for 30min cooling off and drinking water, never again will I go without eating or drinking willingly, sometimes you need that reality check and it hits tuff.

The first girl litterly drop dead gorgeous 😂

Looked like a comedy skit when she collapsed behind that news desk! I thought she was gonna’ Leap up and …… “LIVE, FROM NEW YORK! IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!!

I fainted in public two times. and both times I was on my period. so kinda scared to go anywhere alone if I’m on my period. 😰

I experienced it 2 times in my life, it was embarrassing AF

In the UK it is HOT. Keep hydrated! it's important!

My mom fainted into my arms because she hit her head. We were in a little pool at a water park and I didn’t know what to do. Luckily a woman, her elder mother, and her kids came down and the mother helped me and dear god that woman can scream. She screamed for the life guard and my mom went to the hospital. She’s ok now, she just hurt her head and neck. It was scary because she has epilepsy. After it was all over she told me she had no memory of the incident. ❤

The only time I fainted in public was when I donated blood (500 ml) and shortly after that Iwas standing for a couple of minutes. I felt I fell on a fellow student. I felt light headed before the fall. I woke up after somebody lightly slapped my cheek. It was one of the first aid staff.

I’ve been fainting since I was 6 years old they couldn’t figure out why I’ve just lived with it my whole life I just can’t drive or walk near cliffs or whatever & I just really hope I never hit my head or anything that’s dangerous🤞

Happens in modern times.....new health problems

Fainting is very scary. A few months back, I fainted twice in three days. I had been feeling unusually weak for a few weeks, but I was having some major life changes, and I thought I was over exerting myself. I was a bit pale, but it was a very gradual process, that I hardly noticed it and thought I was just getting lighter. I was sick for several days prior, and thought I had fainted from barely eating or drinking. The first one, I felt coming. The second time, two days later, I had actually felt pretty good, and had just started to feel a bit tired and starting to sweat, when the next thing I know, I'm on the hotel lobby floor, regaining consciousness. I hit my head hard and they called an ambulance. Found out I was critically anemic. A level of 11 for hemoglobin is considered anemic, and less than 7 is considered severely anemic. Mine was 5.1. I was admitted and had to have blood transfusions and iron infusions.

You forgot Wendy Williams

I remember seeing a report of a guy dies on camera in an interview.

I fainted a long time ago in kindergarten because I did not drink or eat anything

Im glad that I have only fainted at home and not in public

I've done it quite a few times in my life.........almost had it happen recently.

I’ve passed out more times than I’d like to admit. I’m still traumatized from Valentine’s Day 2023…

i am like that dad to be , i too have issues with neddles, and just blackout whenever i see neddles. 3:13

I fainted in a clinic lobby after giving blood. I was at the check-out desk when it happened. Told the lady I needed water, but the nearby water fountain was out of order. Then I said to the lady I didn’t feel good, and passed out and woke up on a chair with nurses around me checking my vitals. One of them had smelling salts they used on me. I didn’t know I’d be giving blood that day, so I wasn’t prepared. It was also really something that I didn’t hit anything or leave with bruises. I don’t know if a nurse was nearby who caught me or not. It was embarrassing and scary but I was lucky to be in a clinic with people who knew what to do.

That first vid was fake. You can see she fixed her feet

I don’t know a whole lot about fainting, but shouldn’t someone get checked out after fainting & falling on the floor? Not sure if I’m overreacting

The subtitles literally said booty queen lmao

The news lady sure was drinking something but don't think it was coffee 😂

The last time I fainted, I needed stitches in my face and it could have been worse. Fainting is no joke.

When I was 18 I worked as a phlebotomist for a blood donation company. We traveled to many businesses & high schools…the high schoolers would faint the most. One of the 1st thing we learned was how to identify someone who’s about to pass out and we could never say “do you feel like you’re going to faint” bc something in their brain would make them do it lol. Instead we’d casually ask “you ok?” and elevate their legs or give them a wet towel for their forehead. Also, if someone came with a friend…if the friend fainted it was common that the other would faint too, just bc they’re now thinking about it. The psychology around it is still so interesting/weird to me!😭

I fainted in front of my mom. She was yelling my name

3:07 well this ain't the first guy i see faint labour. So who wants to see the birth or faint like an old lady? No offense

The pageant one should get a Oscar cause she clearly faked it for attention. She literally grabbed the ladies arm so she can fall soft then let go when she got closer to the ground. That’s what I call a attention #%!*\

This is the norm for me, I faint two or three times a week, I’ve always had issues with this, plus nausea and extreme fatigue, I’ve wondered why but I just live with it I know I have something and it’s not normal,

Remember, always stay hydrated! Being hydrated can help stop you from fainting

Fainted today and vomited twice after giving blood. At 20 years old, it was the first time I fainted because I don't have hemophobia or anything, so I was surprised. It's not the fear of blood that gets you, it's the loss of blood (they take a pint of it!). It's kinda like the movies where a character will feel dizzy, crash, then wake up surrounded by talking and people (if they're lucky). For a brief moment I forgot where I was and thought I was in my bed. Apparently I went super pale to the point where I didn't have color in my lips. I saw another girl faint, but she was in her chair. Same loss of color in the face. Fainting was embarrassing but it felt better than vomiting.

lol i fainted today for the first time luckily i was at the doctors already the nurse who first saw me after she heard me smack my head when i fell said she thought i had a seizure cuz i was shaking and asked if i had epilepsy such a weird experience i felt like i was gonna be sick then all of a sudden i got so light headed and then i woke up on the ground

Wow, thank you for explaining everything. It was not clear.

Wow

Safe and effective!!

Riveting

I love your videos I liked and subscribed

I have only fainted once, it was at my dad's place as a kid and I was watching a "scary movie" while standing. I also had a cold while running around that day. Right as Smeagol bit Frodo's finger off I just fainted and boom, my head hit the floor hard and I had to go to the hospital and I puked. It sounds really funny to me now.

and now everyone is fainting from the shots

You can faint whne pregnant sometimes. Nothing is wrong.. Just the blood went to the head. Happened to me.

Does anybody know what state that hospital was in? I'm a doula in New York City and all dads have to leave the room when an epidural is being placed. It makes sense. This happens far more than you'd think!

Lol nurses be like "just another day" 😂

Allisa Carlson we miss you in Bakersfield!!

3:02 Saw that on Tik Tok 😅

I remember the nurses telling my husband “don’t look if you don’t think you can handle it. We don’t have time for you passing out.” And my husband excitedly said “I’m an EMT. I’ve got it.” I think he held my hand for a minute max. He was so excited to watch our son be born and the dr even let him deliver our son with her guidance. It’s still his proudest moment. I remember him saying “he’s bald! Wait no he’s not! Okay part of his head is bald!”

0:32 notice the flopping when she hits the ground. It's easy to think that when someone faints they're having a seizure due to the twitching/flopping, but it's just the muscles trying to keep the brain awake.

Reported for misleading title. A lot of these weren't in public areas.,

Miss Paraguay deserves an Oscar for that performance, I mean how many people do you know will pass out but still have it in mind to arrange her legs in a position to ensure that they aren’t akimbo on live tv! I mean I’ve seen people passed out and were like starfish on the ground, not at all elegant as you lose control of your muscles and faculties, right, until you come around. However, when you see people “passing out” but managing to re-arrange themselves to look poise on the ground, it’s embarrassing as it looks as faked as Katie Price ballooned monstrosity on her chest!

i should be on this list like 14 times 😂😂😂

I've fainted in the street and my bike fell on top of me. No one helped until I regained consciousness. People were just staring at me.

“Safe and effective”

The fainting dad is 🤣.

I am six years old, and I have that sync be that she has it’s not fun but sadly when I pass out I have seizures. I don’t just pass out. I have seizures and I wake up sometimes for a couple minutes.

The meteorologists actually looked like she was pulled under the desk. it was freaky to watch

I fainted in a hospital from extreme stress, fear, and sadness when my husband of 15 years abandoned me

Never fainted, but almost and it was when i wasn't eating right. We were in a store and my sight went black and i could feel my heart beating, like i was gonna die. But i was okay, i sat down and drank water before it got worse.. but still scary

The beauty Queen did get very lucky as the other woman while she couldn't stop her from falling did prevent her from hitting the floor at full force wih just that little bit of holding on. So in a way the other woman did help prevent a much worse or harder fall. Sometimes the best thing you can do if you can't stop someone from falling or passing out try and lessen the force of how hard you fall down to prevent your head or other body parts from hitting the ground.

I could tell poppy was about to faint cause she was getting quiet and started slurring her words

*Laughs in POTS*

is it just me or when something happens to me i search up people going thru the same thing to watch them suffer..?😭😭i slammed my fingers on my garage door on accident and fainted💀

I was hit with afterbirth after my 1st daughter being born but I was so tired from watching the wife push I didn’t bat an eyelid, fainting is for women

Man fainting in public is so scary cause sometimes they force call for the emergency services even when you have your medical info on a lanyard or bracelet AND WHEN YOU HAVE CONVULSION FAINTING THEY STICK A SHOE IN YOU MOUTH THINKING YOUR HAVING A SEIZURE 😭 man and other times no one helps and that’s so scary cause then you get weird looks or someone thinks your on drugs ;-;

So funny him lying on the couch lol

2:14 😂

Very heartbreaking but the people will help by calling nine one one which is the emergency number

once i almost fainted so i looked at my friends and told them "I think i'm gonna faint" but they didn't do anything, it wasn't till i later realised i just imagined myself saying that
