What does passing out feel like? Have you ever passed out? Thanks for correcting my entry and you're welcome to join my topic. I'm going to tell what happened the other day. I donated my blood. I may have the blood phobia judging from what has happened to me that day. I passed out! To tell the truth, passing out isn't as easy and fun as I thought it had been. For before I did, I felt disgust looking at the needles and blood packages and breathing in the air on the bus. Suddenly I lost my awareness and fell over onto someone's shoulder. Though unconscious, I could still feel the pain when the doctors and nurses pressed hard against my Philtrum and somewhere near my wrist. I wonder whether it was because of the pain and the pressure that I cried or because it was the first time I passed out and I thought I was going to die of it or something else. Anyway I couldn't breathe well, and voices calling me to wake up seemed be be ignored by my unawareness. A few seconds later, I came to and could open my eyes, seeing the nurse waving her hand in front of my eyes and asking me if I could hear or see now. I felt a sense of mixture and tears began falling from my eyes. At last I want to say that day was the day I began to realize traditional Chinese emergency measures are workable. So I started to wonder what would a westerner do when they encounter such situations when they have not the items as"Philtrum" and other acupuncture points.
