    So i was talking to my neighbour, we somehow got onto the topic of getting teeth removed, he said how painful it was when he had his done and some other stuff i cant be bothered to type because its gross.

    After talking about that for a while my legs felt a little weak but i was okay... then he said that was the 2nd most painful thing and he told me the most painful thing that happened.

    I basically cut him short after about 10 seconds and said we have to change the subject cus i cant stomach any more, then my legs felt weak, stomach was hurting and i started getting tunnel vision, and im pretty sure everything was going a bit dim.

    He started to laugh when he saw what happening but at that point i wasn't laughing, any sense of humour was gone and i was just thinking about ending the convo so i can go lay down before im sick or before i faint or something.

    So in the end i said, i gota go lay down lol (I didt lol at the time), then i started sweating! but it went away after a couple minutes of laying down with some cool air but if i stayed at the door i duno what would have happened.

    I also get that feeling when i get a wound and there is enough blood. tunnel vision, everything goes a bit dim etc.

    Well if i manage to get roped into being in the same room as my wife when she gives birth, I think ill be one of those fainting fathers. -fear

    Classic Vaso-Vagal.

    Fainting (aka Syncope) in this case, is usually brought on by excessive stimulation of the vagus nerve, which paradoxically acts as a dragging brake on the heart (slowing the heart rate). This is what is referred to as a Vaso-vagal response. Since cardiac output is nominally defined as Heart Rate x Stroke Volume, if your HR drops, then there isn't enough blood volume being pumped to the vital organs (including the brain). Without enough oxygenated blood to the brain, one passes out. That said, there are desensitizing exercises that you can do to prevent such events, and you should also ensure that you're well hydrated with an adequate salt intake. While your "friend" may think it funny, it really isn't. People can and do pass out from all sorts of things and if it happens at the wrong time, it can be tragic. A young woman a few months back here in New York was suspected of fainting and falling into the train tracks just a rush hour train pulled into the station. The commuter crowd witnessed her being cut in two.

    Just on the slim outside chance that it could be something clinically relevant, speak with your doctor and have at least a baseline cardiac workup performed (EKG, Echo) to rule out other causes.

    I wish you well, and good luck ;)

    ^ Yeah thats it, this is from wiki (only the red bits apply to me).

    "Among people with vasovagal episodes, the episodes are typically recurrent, usually happening when the person is exposed to a specific trigger. Prior to losing consciousness, the individual frequently experiences a prodrome of symptoms such as lightheadedness, nausea, the feeling of being extremely hot (accompanied by sweating), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), uncomfortable feeling in the heart, fuzzy thoughts, a slight inability to speak/form words (sometimes combined with mild stuttering), weakness and visual disturbances such as lights seeming too bright, fuzzy or tunnel vision, and sometimes a feeling of nervousness can occur as well. These last for at least a few seconds before consciousness is lost (if it is lost), which typically happens when the person is sitting up or standing. When sufferers pass out, they fall down (unless this is impeded); and when in this position, effective blood flow to the brain is immediately restored, allowing the person to wake up. Short of fainting a person may experience an almost indescribable weak and tired feeling resulting from a lack of oxygen to the brain due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary[3] describes this as the "feeling of impending death" caused by expansion of the aorta, drawing blood from the head and upper body."

    and cause..

    "Watching or experiencing medical procedures"

    To much gore (even details apparently) basically, I was fine with the convo till he said the #1 pain, that one just hit me.

    I feel sorry for people who have that as a part of their everyday life. Ill mention it to my doctor if i remember.. when i go to one. Have not been to doctors for the better part of a decade, not the sickly type, more a "i cant take to much gore type".

    But i remember the first time it happened when i accidentally jammed my wrist into a bike cog basically slitting half my wrist open, i was about 9 then so i doubt its a medical problem, but ill mention it anyway.

    I'd thank you if i could but i cant see the button.

    In one of the other threads, it made mention of the problems that the thank function was creating for browsers on PA, so it was disabled until they find a work around.
