Collapsing

Will Young

Does anyone have a period of about 10 seconds maybe more of they’re body feeling weak and that resulting in collapsing to the floor.

it happens regularly, generally every day.

  • No, I don't, but I heartily agree with Yttrium and mouse2 - you definitely need to get checked by a doctor - as soon as possible. Once you know what is causing it, you will be able to treat it. A lot of things can be helped with simple changes in diet and prescribed medicines (e.g. anaemia, low blood sugar, blood pressure issues). It doesn't sound at all safe to be regularly collapsing to the floor - if it happens in the wrong place (e.g. while crossing a road), it could be very dangerous.

    I don’t like seeing doctors though, And it is gradual, I don’t just flop on to the floor.

    i begin to feel weak and I just need to lye on the floor for a bit.

    Also, are you eating enough and regularly? If not, you could have low blood sugar levels which would cause you to feel weak.

    It's not about liking seeing doctors - it's about needing to. Even if you're not just flopping to the floor, it's still unusual to feel so weak pretty much every day that you have to lie down. If you find it really difficult, do you have someone (a family member, friend or support worker) who could go with you to the appointment for support?
