They sometime happen while I m walking to class or doing something like home work on phone dishes watching tv ect. and every thing goes black and I have to just breath through it. At first I thoght it had to do with my eyes but my eye doctor said my eyes are perfect. What else could it be ?

Hi welcome to HCM
I have gone thru your query regarding dizziness with blackouts
Dear ,Dizziness refers to a sensation of lightheadedness or weakness. When dizziness makes you feel as if you or your surroundings are spinning and accompanied by
blackouts.
For your info ,It may be a symptom of a disorder that affects the whole body, or systems within the body. and may also be the result of systemic toxicity to substances such as medications and drugs , HEART CONDITIONS , INFECTIOUS DISEASES , Alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine are also known to cause dizziness, when taken in large doses
Some conditions can also disrupt the communication between the sensory systems in the body (such as the eyes, inner ears, sensory nerves) and the brain.

Sudden dizzy spells , A head injury , Severe stiffness in the neck , Disturbances in vision ,High fever , Loss of hearing, weakness in limbs slow heart rate .

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Moments of blackouts can happen due to decreased blood flow from heart to brain. When your blackout happens, the blood flowing through the vessels from heart to brain might have a reduced flow. These are by the carotid and vertebral arteries on either sides. This is more significant when you are standing upright and doing any moderate to heavy physical activity.

The best way to analyze if the reduced blood flow to the brain is causing your dizziness is by doing a carotid and vertebral arteries Doppler ultrasound. It will show the flow of blood from the heart to the brain and if it is adequate.

Blackouts can also occur due to stress related anxiety or overflow of emotions.
