Suddenly Felt Shaky And Passing Out. Is This Serious?

default
Posted on Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Question: I was arching my back with my hands on my lower back and looking up, and passed out. Since I came to, I've felt shaky and like I was going to pass out again. It's only been a day. I was feeling perfectly healthy before.
