Um.. Kinda. I once passed out while doing qigong (kind of meditationy breathing excercises) I was out for about a minute, apparantly, and I felt a bit shaky for a hour or so after I woke up, but after that, I felt absolutely buzzy and fantastic for the rest of the day, just really light-heared and absolutely kick-arse... can't say I've ever felt it just from standing up too quick.
On an sort of opposite note to that question, does anyone ever find a very minor impact or knock can affect them absolutely out of all proportion, not because it actually hurts itself, but it just makes you feel really bad all over? It's kind of hard to explain, but this has happened to me a few times.
The most recent was a few weeks ago. I was out with my dog in the woods, and he jumped up at me with a stick in his mouth and knocked me on the hand with it. It was a very minor knock, and barely even hurt, but for some reason the sensation of being bumped seemed to go right through me. I felt really dizzy and nauseaous, and I had to sit down in the middle of the path for a few minutes because I really felt like I might faint.
Another time, I was playing kibadi* (don't know how you spell it) with a friend of mine, and again I got knocked on the hand, a bit harder this time. It wasn't that my hand hurt at all, but it really seemed to suck something out of me, and I felt really dizzy and drained, and again I had to sit down before I passed out.
It's not the first time that sort of thing has happened to me, though I'm not prone to fainting fits, (Qigong incident is the only time in my life I recall actually fainting) and I have no medical condition that I am aware of, and I'm not generally a fragile person.
Does anyone know what this is, or ever experienced anything similar?
*Kibadi - in our version, basically, you hit each other on the leg. Great game.
