What Causes Fainting Spell With Weakness Followed By Tremors?

Hi I fainted this morning. All I remember is saying Oh my god because my head was dizzy and then the next thing I was on the ground and my body was all tingly, especially my tongue which I thought was strange. My fiancé said I was only out for a few seconds but that my legs were shaking. I did hit my arm and leg off of the radiator but that is fine. He gave me some water and laid my down on the bed but its nearly 3 hours later and I still feel weak and shaky, my head is very heavy. Is this a normal side effect of fainting and what do you think might have caused me to faint in the first place? Thank you in advance. Kerri

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms of syncope demands the immediate medical attention and that includes secure the air way, such syncope could be due to cerebral pathology and it could be grand mal seizure, better to get done CT of brain and EEG after the fit attack what ever happening are the consequences and not normal one but this is the part of disease it self hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
