Fainting headaches sensitive smells...ahh lovely early pregnancy symptoms :) Have you had your blood pressure checked? Low blood pressure can also explain fainting...
I faint too and am also prone to anxiety, watch your breathing, I found that I was holding my breath and not even realizing it! I also make them let me lay down when I give blood because I find if I lay there for a moment or so after that I'm fine, most labs are pretty accommodating of that as they don't want you to faint either. I always know I"m going to faint because the last words out of my mouth is always "I don't feel so good"! Glad to hear for the most part though your doing good!
Thank you so much for that advice. I was holding my breath and stressing about it all so I can relate. I ALWAYS say "I don't feel good" then faint too :P
It could of been a panic attack or the amount of blood they take is alot so you need sugary stuff after that! I felt faint after i had my blood tests when i was preg earlier on this year and when i had a drink and a little bit of sugary stuff like lollies or something i felt better!
Sorry to hear about your fainting episode!! Hope you're all better now and it doesn't happen again any time soon! Bit scary about the dog, too :| But glad to hear all your bloods were perfect :]
The same thing would happen to me, I'd pass out. EXACT SAME THINGS, I'd see black dots, and then sweat beads of sweat as well, just awful. They told me it was a panic attack basically.
Glad everything looks good with your blood :)

ahh, i just heard you mention the hearing, yeah I start hearing a ringing/buzzing noise.
I make them let my lie down too. I was fainting roughly 3 times a day for the entire pregnancy

yeah, I tend to start feeling spacey, seeing spots and generally tell someone I am gonna faint...luckily my hubby knows I mean it :)

I didn't feel panicked but it still makes sense.
