What Could Have Caused Black Out?

Hi, I have been feeling ill for the last week or so, nauseated, stomach aches, body aches and headaches. Then 2 nights ago I was laying in bed and just felt really really sick, my legs where aching like crazy and i couldnt lay still. I got up and decided to have a shower. After about maybe 2 or 3 minutes my vision went a bit blurry i felt really sick and the next thing i know Im waking up in the shower lyeing on the ground with water spraying in my face- so i blacked out....I went back to bed and got the chills up, felt sick still but got to sleep . I havent blacked out again but the last couple days have lost my appetite a bit and just generally feel off.....what could have caused me to black out?

Thanks to HCM
I can understand your concern

yes this may happen in some patients when they badly sick and could not able to get up from bed .

there may be sudden decrease in blood pressure when you changed your posture from bed to bathroom and moreover water on falling it may cause
sudden neurogenic shock which might have recovered spontaneously after some time

so don't worry ,tahe first diet and improve your health ..

then it wont happen again generally .don't worry
