PCOS made me a fainter?From: foofoo (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 19 Nov 2000 09:12:29 -0600 (CST)
Heylo! Around the time when my PCOS symptoms became obvious at the age of 20 (periods stopped), something else also happened - I found that I would become very faint when poked with a needle, saw blood, or was subjected to some other minor but disturbing physical trauma. When my eye doctor first put contacts on my eyes, I was woozy for hours! I have always taken care not to pass out, but have gotten so dizzy at times that I can only see spots. Currently I will not drive after a blood test. As I child I was not like this at all. Getting poked with a needle hurt, but it didn't make me dizzy, or even upset. I am also not concious of being fearful of needles, blood, or wounds - I'm able to observe the progression of dizziness with the amused detachment of a scientist. Once when this happened, a nurse posed the opinion that perhaps because my insulin levels are high, the slightest shock can burn up all the fuel in my bloodstream. Any thoughts on this puzzling inconvenience?
