I had stopped my herbs for a couple of days, because it was day 18 of my cycle and also because i was getting lumps in my right breast.
this morning when i was making my breakfast i cut my thumb on an open can ( a very small cut mind you)... as my family was looking at my cut and looking for a bandaid i realized that i could see the lights dimming in front of my eyes and i told my family how i feel like am going to faint. i sat down at the breakfast table, and after a few seconds i just passed out. my family says my eyes rolled back slightly and quite embarrassingly i even peed while i passed out. I was out for a few seconds and by the time i was coming around my sister was ringing for the ambulance, i told her not to. i had some water and food and just lied down for a bit. after an hour or so we went to the walk in clinic and the doctor told me it was a vasovagal attack and that i have low blood pressure as well. my family is worried that the pills am taking is messing around with my system and they are stopping me from taking them. now am in a confused state, i dont want to give up my nbe and on the other hand am worried about my health too. so if there are any medical experts on here could you plz help me figure out what caused it and if the herbs am taking could have affected things.
for all the people like me who had no idea wat a vasovagal attack is, here's some basic info:
