So, basically we relate fainting and dizziness with being tired, and sick, but, there are certain uncommon triggers that can make you faint.

Here we are with a list of weird things that can make you faint !!

Before beginning let me tell you that fainting can quite well be connected with low blood pressure, so anything that can affect your blood pressure, can as well be a reason for you to faint.

1. Peeing Can Make You Faint !!




Believe it or not, peeing can make you faint ! So, your blood pressure falls down drastically right after urination, it has got a name, called Micturition syncope. Although it's not fully clear to medical science. The fall in blood pressure can make you faint. It's something usual for older people out there. Haven't you heard of your granny fainting in the toilet. 

2. Standing Up Can Make You Faint !! stay seated child....




When you stand up suddenly, after sitting or lying down for a long time, gravity pulls blood down into your legs, reducing the blood flow to your brain at an instant. So that can be a cause as well !! So remain seated and just keep reading fedUP feeds !!

3. Laughing For A Long Time !!

4. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo !!


Quite a name....BPPV, it's basically about the dizziness you feel, when you suddenly get up out of the bed all in a hurry. It's quite common in case of aged ones. And it's also called Positional sickness or Vertigo, So when you wake up, take your time to get up!

5. Stop eating !!


Food is something that provides you energy and hence it can't be a reason for dizziness, right ?
Actually not, there are certain food items that can make you faint, for example, eating stuffs, that get digested real quick, can make you faint. And that's because of Postprandial hypotension.

Side Note- Postprandial hypotension, is a condition that occurs after eating. It's caused by increased blood flow to the abdomen, which takes blood flow away from other parts of the body, especially the brain, and that's why you feel sleepy after eating.

So, eating stuffs like, alcohol, chocolate, milk products, food with monosodium glutamate, nuts, can make you faint !!
