What Causes Disorientation And Black Outs?

I became disorientated and blacked out a couple of days ago at work. when co-workers brought me home i did sleep for the rest of the day. They told me that while at work my speech was odd, i cried a bit and I have no recollection of any of this. Have a Doctor appt. on monday but getting nervous thinking about all of this. What could this possible be related to? I am 41yr old female that i should add is under a huge amount of stress and at that point in time I had not had a full nights sleep in over a month. I was averaging about 2 hours of sleep a night.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I think you can reason your current state of affairs. You went black out because you were overly stressed. That is a natural defense mechanism. You became anxious about your health when your colleagues carried you home. That anxiety refused to part with you because you were idle at your home. Idle mind started obsessing with your health and you could not get an answer because you are not an expert in that area. Such a scenario made you more anxious. No problem. In a scenario like yours, everyone are bound to be anxious. Therefore nothing to worry. You will get this same answer when you consult your physician. Till then learn to enjoy your anxiety and the lesson it teaches you.
