Fainting, Head Rushes, Difficulty Focusing. Need For Concern?
A few months back my Boyfriend a fainnting challenge which involves kneeling down and breathing very quickly for a few seconds, then blowing into your thumb while someone pushes your chest. Obviously he fainted after doing this but ever since he has been having constant head rushes, on times they can amount to one every few minutes. He refuses to go to the doctor but it seems as if it s getting worse, he s starting to feel faint and his eyes can t focus. He plays a lot of full contact Rugby and has even fainted on the pitch due to these head rushes. Should be be concerned or is this something that can not be prevented?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it may be starting hypertension, epilepsy, or a psychological disorder Hysteria. I advise you to consult a neurologist, for diagnosis and treatment. He may need to have M.R.I, E.E.G,and other tests for confirmation.
Wishing him a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
