I fainted at the eye doctor.. ?

Question

As soon as the doctor put eye drops in my eyes I got dizzy, then went unconscious. A few minutes later, I "woke up" and still felt dizzy and couldn't walk, so they took me out on a stretcher. At the doctor they took my blood pressure and stuff. It was a little low, but they didn't think that's what caused it. Any ideas?

Answer 2

Are you male?  The reason I ask is because this seems to happen more often to males.  Part of the problems is nerves and part of it can be a response to the cool liquid going in your eyes.  It's nothing to be concerned about, just know you are prone to it and warn doctors/staff beforehand.  

Answer 3

Probably the same reason I pass out within minutes of sitting in the dentists chair.

Just a buildup of stress.

Answer 4

Where you scared before you went? If so I would say it is stress.
