Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition and disability which causes involuntary movements called tics. I use my platforms on social media such as TikTok, UA-cam and Instagram to advocate and raise awareness for the condition and show what it is like living with a disability as a teen in school.
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about tics, tic disorders and what its like to be a teen living with Tourette's syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a seizure disorder (NEAD/NES).
I show what its like having tics and Tourettes in class and in school and college, vlog, and I also bake, do other challenges and answer all your questions in Q and A videos.
I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user so I show what life looks like using various mobility aids and how needs change from day to day!
I am also a musician! My newest release is my first single (original song) called "She's Mine" which is now available on all streaming services - I sing and play piano, guitar, ukulele and I write, produce, mix and master all my own songs and content myself! - Розваги
Make sure that the staff is aware. Because people will walk pass and have no idea
Came here to say this. If nothing else just to keep an eye out to make sure no one bothers you.
when she faints she usually wakes back up
@@thewitchstarot6975doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be keeping an eye on her while she’s out
Also to save possible bystanders from freaking out and calling an ambulance
Honestly it's better that way... she doesn't need an ambulance called, or a crowd to gather around her, just to be protected until she wakes up. Epileptic people have the same issue... it's a terrible, unfortunate part of their life, but not a reason for an expensive trip to the hospital or an embarrassing scene. They usually simply need to be watched over until they recover.
People always get so terrified when I pass out, ESPECIALLY NURSES ironically. It’s not that bad I promise!!! Just don’t let me break a tooth on the way down and we’re good
lol this! I have a pretty brief window of opportunity, and when I’m fainting my first goal is always to make someone else hold my coffee. Burnt myself pretty bad once AND lost perfectly good coffee.
Fainting is generally aserious response so a nurse's mind goes to eliminate fatal problems. It's nice they are so concerned.
@@morganseppy5180 fainting can be due to many different things which is why I warn them beforehand why I pass out and it happens a lot and that multiple doctors have said it’s fine because they really can’t do anything to prevent it. As long as my vitals recover in a reasonable amount of time I’ll be good.
pots? what?
Seriously. I tried to donate plasma in college and passed out. They asked me not to come back because it scared people.....
Years later I tried to donate blood. The staff was awesome and kicked the bed back when I said I was going to pass out and took it as a challenge to try to help me feel better. Of course i found out I am a universal recipient and they said "you should donate plasma instead" lol
If someone saw this happen would you want them to ask if you needed anything? If you were still awake I'd ask if you were comfortable with me staying at a distance to make sure nothing happened.
About 10 years ago I went to a fast food place for breakfast. I guy who looked pretty rough was in there mumbling to himself. It was only he and I, but he was across the room. It looked like he kept passing out. I assumed he was just drunk. I went and asked a cashier if they knew he was there. She said he was mad they were still serving breakfast. I went back to finish my breakfast. During that time, he went through mumbling and passing two more times each. A few workers walked by him and just shook their head. I wasn't too impressed by him either. About 5 minutes later, while driving away, I though "What if there was really something wrong with him?" I called 911. A few days later, I went in again and I saw that same cashier. I asked her "What ever happened to that drunk guy?" She said "EMT's came and found he was in a diabetic coma." They told her "He was in bad shape and might not have made it much longer if they hadn't arrived." She never asked me, but I never let her know I was the one that called them. I was really surprised their workers aren't trained on realizing this type of problem with customers!!! Even if it was alcohol, he could have been in danger. I once learned places get a bad mark when police are called to their establishment. Maybe it's the same if an ambulance is called?
Good show, man! Glad you caught that. I sure hope you're around (or someone like you), when I go down or run into a problem like that!
@Exceptions Productions Thanks for reading the novel I wrote and for the compliment! An idea I just had is if you feel something health wise tell someone near you who looks competent and ask them to watch to see if you pass out!
Ohhh...another time I ran into the ladles room (I'm a guy though!) at a restaurant after I saw a little girl eating with her family, at the table next to mine, look like she was choking and run there. I was more horrified nobody from her family chased her. By the time I got there she had gotten whatever she was choking on loose, but was out of breath. (Seeing me run in would have dislodged anything anyway.) She was relieved someone cared. I mentioned it to her family when I returned and they still did nothing. When she came back she mentioned I figured it out and went to help her. She gave me a big smile!!! I was relieved nobody else was in the bathroom, but it could have still looked bad for me! Just remember people, asking if a person or OK takes no effort!!!
Good move, man. Amazing you followed your instincts. Even though that man will never know who you are, I have no doubt he sees you as his guardian angel, and perhaps, even prays to you, from time to time - you actions let him know he matters and is still seen; even after I am sure he feels long forgotten.
Though, to reference fast food restaurants not training their employees, to recognize such..
With all due respect, those establishments do not pay their employees enough to entertain teach ‘em such things.
I worked at a fast-food joint when I was 19, and it was a great place to work. Though, these are the type of places plenty of shady people whom are abusing substances hang out - lots of ‘em.
If employees had a responsibility, by way of their job, to pay attention to every person not acting “normal” - they’d never get their work done, which, was what they were hired for, in the first place.
It isn’t a 5-Star restaurant.
This is the type of situation where it’s a person’s responsibility to learn what to look out for, in others, as well as to learn to follow their gut instinct - in the same manner as you have/did.
It has nothing to do with their job, and everything to do with learning how to be a resourceful and compassionate human being.
Which, I think is an even more important job, personally.
@@XOChristianaNicole Hi Christiana Nichole! Thanks for such a nice reply! You're right that it wasn't their job to diagnose what the guy's problem was. When I asked if they knew he was there passing out, the register girl said he was causing problems because he wanted lunch, but it was still breakfast. She said she thought he was drunk. Places won't call the police to check on stuff anymore because it's counts against their safety rating!!! Well...my choice to call 911 saved him, BUT...also saved them a HUGE lawsuit!!! I don't know if he even knew I was there. It was only he and I sitting down, but he was soooo out of it. I never told the store I was the one who called and I don't know if the person who told me he was almost in a diabetic coma figured it might have been me. He could have found out if he asked who called 911 though. I'm just happy my calling helped.
I always ask if someone needs help, especially if it's a little kid who has been waiting a long time for someone to pick them up. In fact, a torrential downpour hit our area one hot afternoon. I saw a high school kid running home carrying his football gear. I stopped and asked if he had a lot further to go to get home. He said he was almost there. The funny thing was he stopped and said "You were offering to give me a ride?" Nobody else did and it surprised him. He just stayed there getting wet. I yelled at him to "Get going because I just made you get even more rain on you!" He laughed and said "Thank you!!!" Maybe I made him feel less drenched?
I have asked people if they were doing OK ad they barked back a bit mad that I asked. I just said they were standing there like they might have a broken car. Then I always reply "At least you know someone cares!"
Thanks for adding to the conversation Christiana Nichole. Few do that! Have a nice weekend!
@@myemail2005 when I find a dude in the ladies room, he's doing something nefarious (this actually happened just a couple days ago) so kudos to you for giving a crap. I know what it's like to feel like no one close to me cares if I'm flailing, so you probably taught that girl an important lesson about her own significance that day 💪
Yes my POTS makes me do that all the time in drum line. Once I was playing in front of the ENTIRE SCHOOL and I started feeling faint but I couldn’t leave.. and then my vision blurred so I couldn’t read the sheet music and my ears slowly stopped working so I didn’t know if I was playing it right either. When the performance was over, the entire drum line was like “Oh my gosh that’s the best you’ve ever played!” And I was so shocked! They said I normally don’t trust myself when I read the music so I ‘stutter’ a lot when I’m playing, but that time I had to have wholehearted trust in my practice and thank god it all worked out because passing out with a 30 pound drum strapped to your chest is not a great feeling, trust me
As someone in drumline and assorted other things at my high school (I'm a senior), THE AMOUNT OF TIMES IVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. And u just have to keep going like idk whats going on but it were going with it. then once u sit down ur just like i think I'm gonna DIE and i just sit there with my knees up for a little bit lol. Stutters i relate to so much too I'm having that problem with my indoor music rn lol
I've actually trained all 3 of my cats to massage my legs for blood flow whenever I'm laying flat. Only 1 cat is VA registered as a service animal, but the other 2 have picked up a lot of the training from watching my service cat.
That's actually great, can imagine your cats kneading your legs like bread to get blood flow to your legs again
“MOMS KO’D, BISCUIT CREW, STAT”
And people still say that cats are not smart 🤦🏻
service cat biscuits jus hit different
@Wanton_Chips so true. Lol. They even do it when I'm falling asleep and waking up. I'm pretty sure they do it while I'm asleep, but I've only occasionally woken up to the youngest, Astraea, licking my nose.
I was literally just talking to my friend about when I passed out in the gym from POTS, it’s not fun ❤️
what is POTS
@@augustinaorjacovschi8513 Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome - it’s a medical condition where your blood vessels don’t constrict properly and so going from lying down to sitting or sitting to standing (or the worst lying down to standing) causes a drop in your blood pressure, not enough blood gets to your head and you can faint from it. I used to drop like a fly but I’ve figured out my worst triggers - low salt and dehydration - and as long as I get up slowly I can mostly keep the fainting at bay. But it’s definitely hard to do that! I’ve had the doorbell go and leap up only to keel over backwards in the hall - and that’s after ten years of dealing with it! ❤️
EDIT: I didn’t know but I’ve just been told that it doesn’t always come with the low blood pressure so I wanted to put that right 😊
Potsie here! ❤
pickle juice helps alout
@@georginafg3626 Small correction, some people have no change or a raise in blood pressure, especially if they have certain types of POTS like hyperandrenic. The general disorder is more about the high heart rate, hence the word tachycardia, although obviously for a lot of people low BP is a big issue. I’m really glad you found your triggers though, I joke about being a water whore now that I’ve discovered how much it helps lol.
The hard part is getting to where you’re gonna lay down before passing out and not alerting anyone by looking like you’re gonna pass out. Sometimes you only have a few moments to scout out a place to go lay down and hafta do so inconspicuously
I’m sure you already know this, but as someone who frequently passes out, I’d recommend putting your legs up on a surface or just on the wall if you can while laying down and taking long, deep breaths. (Putting your feet up will help the blood flow get back to your brain) Also, be sure to get up very very slowly when you do get up (always helps to roll onto your side first when getting up so you don’t get dizzy again) and have lots of water and a bit of food. Passing out is one of the worst feelings ever, I’m really sorry that you have to deal with it too.
Great advices! I wish more people knew about this actually! I would also add eating something salty, but carefully so you won't choke. It helped me a lot when I was in high school and had a few episodes like that
I heard wiggling your toes helps restore blood flow to the brain
i wiggle my toes ALL the time-
whaaa-
@@polarbearsarecool1332 Yeah because wiggling you’re toes are SOOO disgusting! Get a grip
@@polarbearsarecool1332 how is that disgusting?
@@6554588521 IKR? HOW IS THAT DISGUSTING-
@@polarbearsarecool1332 Btw no one asked if it doesn't matter or does- and it's not disgusting
Just a tip from someone who gets dizzy when I get up from basically anywhere, specially when I'm lying down. When you're gonna get up, dont do it the way you did, as it may make you dizzy again, instead, turn to your side first and then slowly get up.
I slowly get up and start with being bent down and slowly risking after I'm standing. It kinda looks like an ostrich bringing their head and neck up slowly from the ground. It also gives me a quicker warning if I can't get up so I can react much faster since then the dizziness slowly comes back instead of hitting me like a bus
This helps me too. And people sometimes get offended that I don’t want them o take their hand and have them pull me up but that for sure makes me dizzy again. Rolling to the side and going up on my elbow, then hand then knees makes it easier
That's not normal and you should see a doctor.
That sounds exactly like POTS- postural ortho- tachycardia syndrome and you should see a cardiologist or at least primary care to get referral somewhere! That’s typically happening because as you change positions, your heart rate accelerates while your blood pressure drops = syncope
Definitely get checked that sounds serious
That extra side movement can make me worse... I have Mal de Debarquement. I would get up slower than the OP but would use the same technique most of the time, if I did roll to the side i'd keep the movement going and face the wall and end up kneeling, then use the wall to get up still facing it. But it's different for everyone and for me different each time I have to get up... which is just annoying!
You should consider getting a service dog (if that's available and accessible to you). I think it would make you feel more safe
I was going to suggest this as well. It may not be available or preferable, but if it is, owner training may make it more affordable (it did for me but it doesn't in all situations). I liked that my dog would alert to coming faints, and would look after me if people were around.
Yea🎉
There's a 2 year waiting list and then after that you have to do a 13 week course in another state
@@jmwjrsmom that's so sad oml
Service dogs are great, but they are extraordinarily expensive in some states. Most people struggling with a disability can't afford them.
Want to say how proud I am of you for going to the gym and not letting the faints stop you. Working out helps even if sometimes you have to stop. I had an episode in a class last week and had to quickly leave the room without putting my equipment away. Embarrassing but better than not stopping and leaving. Heat and low blood pressure trigger me. Compression socks help if it isn’t too hot already. Hope you will 😊find ways to lessen the incidents.
I struggle with fainting episodes. Best advice i had from a doctor is to lay down and put your legs higher than your heart. You should try laying down with your legs up against the wall. It will restore your blood flow and sometimes stops me fainting.
Exactly - was going to comment this too. Might even prevent the fainting.
sometimes I wish my body would actually faint instead of laying there feeling faint for so long :( I’ve even lost my vision and ability to move my limbs before and gone to the ER-awake the whole time. I hate it. That was a weed overdose but still idk I’m sometimes jealous it never happens to me… (feels like it’s in my head and i’m making everything up when it doesn’t happen)
@@sunrisewolfy Actually fainting wouldn't help. "Laying there feeling faint" is better than "falling and getting brain injury". And if the fainting is from low blood pressure you won't faint once you're lying down.
@@S_CarolI think fainting feels better when you faint already lying down. I've felt faint without fainting and that's a bad experience, worse than any of the times I actually fainted - have done that 6 times total, only once I actually fell without anyone to catch me completely, and my friend tried, but I'm overweight, so, she only managed to prevent my head being hit on the asphalt. The other times I was caught, either by a neighbor who came by or by a crowd at a concert, 4 times in a row while they all helped me get to the medics. All of those times were 10x better feeling than feeling faint for a few hours sometimes without ever actually fainting
agree, laynig with your legs up against the wall is super helpful!
Even with all the struggles you face, you are still brave enough to not only face them head on but share them with the world. You inspire me 🥺 keep doing what you’re doing
Exactly! This comment right here! ♥️♥️♥️
What inspire...to be in gym soo long that you faint. And train sooo much that you faint. And youtwo are talking about that, like fainting in gym regularly is normal😲....NOOO ITS NOT NORMAL and you should be worried or change something
@@vidko007 I think she faints regardless if she’s in the gym or not. You should mind your business on the internet! Lol (:
Are you trying to kill this poor girl or something ’?!?!? Tell her she’s NOT fat! She’s a toothpick that refuses to eat!
@@vidko007are you crazy? she has tourettes
Until I saw this video, I thought I was alone with the syncope. Thank you for this. Your suggestion of recording is fantastic!
You are such a brave girl. Bringing awareness to this type of thing helps ppl understand what it is and what they need to do . Your very smart to be showing and teaching us, thank uou.
What type of thing is this?
Genuine Q.
I have severe fatigue - Type 1 D
Am hoping you let the gym staff know. They'll be happy to know what's happening and what to do if they find you, and they'll look out for you if they see you down.
My aunt has POTS and she takes me to my doctors appointments. We were on our way out of the hospital and she collapsed and blacked out while a nurse was walking past us. The nurse just looked down and continued walking wherever she was heading to. My aunt got up quickly after and I was like, "Wow, I guess she didn't care that you just passed out?" And my aunt was like, "She probably sees it all the time."
either way you should still care for someone who faints and make sure they are ok
Wow. Crazy she didn't even ask.
But to be fair, I've collapsed on the floors of LOTS of Drs offices and even elevators. And I don't think anyone ever asked if I was okay or if they did I wasn't conscious enough to remember 😆
Now I use a reclining wheelchair.
Probably wasn’t a nurse. She could’ve been a receptionist whose uniform is scrubs and who is legally in a really uncomfortable position looking like a medical professional but being unable to provide medical aide.
The nurse could have been going to something urgent, and you were there to ask for help if necessary. Medical professionals are taught not to run if at all possible coz it makes people worry.
wickedness
I fainted once.
I started to sway and i started to feel dizzy. The swaying got worse into rocking and i was barely bumping into people around me (i was in a school assembly).
I remember saying to my friend that i was starting to feel dizzy and that i felt faint. She didn't really say anything as she had been distant during that time in our friendship.
I remember bending down a bit and putting my hands on my knees to gain some form of stability as my vision started to darken.
What i saw was a unique trip though.
It looked like neon fireworks were going off in different colours like flowers in my vision, that it completely clouded it. And as i said, my vision started to darken between the fireworks.
Then black.
Then i found myself on top of another classmate who caught me.
Afterwards it was a series of flashes as i somehow got up, and dragged outside by my arm by my homeroom teacher and i found myself outside with a glass of water.
It wasn't the worst thing I've experienced. Honestly i was just mostly confused and delirious during it, so it's just a funny story i tell people.
Not as funny if you knew the context as to why I fainted and my strained relationship with my then distant friend.
This happened to me the other day i was bench pressing and got up after finishing my set.
as im walking to another area i immediately collapsed to the floor because i felt lightheaded legs felt like jelly.
so many people came rushing over to me ,never felt so embarrassed before 😂
Have you ever had a stranger call the paramedics when you fainted in public while alone? Innocent bystanders don’t know that you’re experienced with these episodes and with no one with you to explain I can imagine strangers freaking out.
I have a lanyard with 2 cards, one explains my condition with emergency contact details, the other just says in big writing ‘I faint, just let me lie quietly and I’ll be fine’.
@@Pinkiepie247 that sign is so dangerous, if you we're actually in a situation that actually needs medical attention people, like you've fallen and hit your head for example, people will just assume that you are having an episode.
@@MiaLeona69 it’s fine, I usually get enough warning and the only time I push myself is when I’m with others that know my condition
I've had my RA do this on me during finals week twice, even though they knew about my medical condition. They forced me to the ambulance and wouldn't let me go to class after I WOKE up from it and insisted I go to the hospital. They didn't drive me there, and didn't drive me back either. I had to take a cop car back. I absolutely hate innocent bystanders that think they know what they are doing. I can't wait till I can afford a service dog.
Too scared and traumatized to ever go anywhere alone anymore. Even to a bathroom I need a buddy now to go in the bathroom while I go in the stall in case something happens. Most strived from college experiences, fainting on plane, and fainting on a street. Too paranoid now.
Almost! Thankfully I was fine. I had to lay down in a grocery store while alone because I was fainting. I woke up pretty quick ans told the poor sweet old lady and employee that were running to me concerned that I was fine and it's a daily thing for me. Now I have a medic alert necklace that's always visible and if they call them they will notify my mom and partner. I also have life360 so they know exactly where I am if I get a bad fainting episodes or severe bloodsugar drop :)
I wish there were service dogs in my country for POTS. Also I'm not diabetic i just have a stoma and sugar runs through me quick
I know it must already be so hard to go what you're going through, but the fact that you have to change how you cope with this horrible condition so that you don't bother people around you is really hard for me to accept. I just think that you should be able to flop around as much as you want if that's the best way to cope with your condition. I hate that you have to worry about how you look while your dealing with something as terrible as a fainting spell. I love your strength and I hope you never give up. You are so strong and amazing and I just wanted you to know that.💚
I think it's more to avoid panic or someone calling an ambulance unnecessarily. If I saw someone flop down and pass out suddenly, I'd be more than a little worried, but someone just laying on the floor would be less notable.
It happened to me once, i fainted in the gym and when I woke up I saw the people there all around me massaging my legs and arms and also a man there ran to the candy shop and bought me some sweet candies i really love people at my gym they're really sweet😭❤️
You are a real warrior , I wish you all the best ❤
You're absolutely beautiful. Inside and out. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I'm sorry you faint from your condition. I'm glad you take such good precautions to take care of yourself. I'm sorry about all of your negative reactions in life due to your condition, but it makes you so special and unique. Sending you love! ❤❤❤❤❤
When ever I feel like I’m about to pass out I always make a tic too about it
Cross your legs and squeeze them together when you sit down at first, it helps focus blood to your head and helps with faster recovery in my experience (which is me regularly fainting until i was 21 for extended periods)
I remember the last time I passed out. It happened back in high school during my health class, I was just minding my own business as I was taking notes and I remember my senses going one by one until I came to on the floor. I actually got taken to the hospital and was there for 4 hours and missed a guitar performance I really wanted to be a part of.
I have a hyperactive vaso vagal syncope condition. It's different from POTS, but it's similar, so I can sympathize 😢
Im glad that you can use your platform to help people understand fainting conditions!
You're so strong for having gone through that!! ❤️
Keep going strong no mater how hard it gets for u have family and friends to help u out
U are an inspiration
Don't do a me I had got to a point of giving up but now I'm trying to repair my self
I thought I was beyond repair but my best mate helped me throught my dark times slowly getting better
Same and I'm proud of you. We gotta stick together
Its so funny- when I was alone people would never leave me alone if I had to sit on the floor somewhere. But with my great dane service dog no one ever bothers me, its like they think “oh right, looks like the dog’s got it then, carry on”.
I experience this attached to my seizures and it is so embarrassing at work. I have to go sit with my head down to work through it, and the pressure of getting through as fast as I can so as not to irritate my crew gets overwhelming and can lead to more fainting, or another seizure. I can feel this video
I fainted once but I had no clue what it was it scared me so bad. But after watching this i finally realized what it was.
My dad was wrapping a band-aid around my finger bc I cut it rlly bad then out of no where I felt nauseous and the really hot than I got supper dizzy than I fell but my dad coughs me it was scary tho.
Stay safe everyone 💗
Fair play to you my sweet, you still get on with life which is way more than a lot of people in your position can say, and At the gym too! What a legend! ❤
The best thing for me is making sure I drink enough water. I have a number of chronic conditions & I faint if I'm not laying flat. Sometimes even a single pillow is too much. Thanks to pots & my other conditions, I've been bed-bound for over 10 years. Life can be pretty crappy, but at least it's life. 🙂
When I feel a faint coming on I just hit the floor and come around with my husband trying to ensure my airways are straight and not crumpled so I can breathe. Wish I had more time to hit the floor more gently and set my camera up on the way down.
Can relate to the flop drawing attention., except when I flop I keep flopping around for sometimes a good while, so it really draws a crowd sometimes. Keep safe folks!!!
You are literally amazing! Be safe out there and maybe ask someone to be your gym buddy so that you don't have to worry about any creeps.
I only fainted once when doing sports (granted I'm not too much into it and it doesn't happen to me regularly), a friend of mine was coaching me and told me to continue when I said my vision was getting blurry
I managed to finish the program he had in mind, because he forced me, then I walked like 5 meters and was like "ok no, nope I can't"
Luckily the other people saw it and made me sit down, so I didn't pass out.
Not sure I'll let that friend coach me again though, and if I do, I'll stop when I start seeing symptoms and not let him push me.
oh no i dont know how you even do it. this is why i dont go, period. the vision loss, feeling your arms, legs and hands tickle and trying to get the blood flow back ... i relate to you so much. im so sorry.
Mini storytime ☕️☕️
I have focal epilepsy and once at school we were having a normal test… This was when I was newly diagnosed and I hadn’t told most of my classmates (the teacher obviously knew) and I started having a focal seizure. The seizure lasted about two minutes it half of my classmates seemed really worried and the teacher was at the bathroom at the time, only my best friend knew about my focal epilepsy and she was absent that day… Somebody asked me if I was okay and, since I know Spanish, I started mumbling Spanish words (that didn’t make sense apparently because it was a jumble) and then the teacher came back right near the end of my seizure and told everybody to calm down and that it was normal for me (THANKS OFR REACING TILL’ THE END IF YOU DID!) ❤️❤️
Yor are so brave to keep going
I have had vesovegalsyncope for years since I was a young teen. It was worse as a teen I passed out in class a bunch and out in public. Almost lost my DL. I haven't passed out in quite some time now and I definitely don't miss that feeling.
Wow. That seems scary. Keep being brave girl.
U r amazing for what u go thru and still managing to live ur life. I was mostly bed ridden and full of anxiety.
You should get a support dog. They know when you need help before you know. And they help you through it and keep you safe
Support dogs are extremely expensive.
I thought she had a dog. 🤔
I love too see you faint its so interesting to see your condition work but it could be hard but life is always unfair for everyone that's what makes it fun I love your vids and keep going at it😃❤❤❤💓💖
@abirami sivakaminathan ikr! wtf💀
Guys I didn't say it in a bad way
Toast c'mon I am saying that I love that she is telling people about her condition and how it works and I love to see you faint is that its interesting and very cool to see ITS NOT IN A BAD WAY don't think me as a bad guy here plz
Ty I was gonna live with that comment my whole life otherwise
Good idea recording it for safety measures. As a mom I would be so worried but not want to be overprotective.
Had this happen on a horse twice. The first I passed out and fell off, the second I held my core hard enough that I only dry heaved for like 5 minutes
YOU NEED TO GO WITH A FRIEND! THERE ARE EVIL PEOPLE OUT THERE AND YOUR A GORGEOUS GIRL SO EITHER WAY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOOK PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL LOVE
From what I gather in the comments, people fainting is an everyday occurrence that it's not a big deal. I'm confused.
Aww.... I'm not saying aww to the fact that you fainted... I'm saying aww because I just watched a few of your shorts and videos .... and you are so effing adorable and sweet... and stole my ❤️ heart!! Way to strong for your own good kiddo... just know, there are people out there that look up to you as your hero!!
You are a true warrior. You deserve someone to really take Care ofe you. You look greate dont push yourself too hard love you
Smart thinking to record urself! Glad nothing happened!! 👏👍💯
You're a stronger person than I am...I'd be afraid of going anywhere!!
❤
This might sound like a weird question but can you drive because if you had an attack in your car could it effect your driving (sorry if that’s a bad question)❤️❤️
It may look rude but it's not. You're just being honest and curious, and I was gonna ask the same thing
I've also been curious about everyday things for adults just like that
nope, i can’t drive because of this as i can’t be sure it won’t happen while behind the wheel! 🥲
Thanks for answering ❤️❤️❤️and now I know something new so thanks 😊
@@Zara_Beth I'm sorry to ask this question but i am really curious about it
How much long you be fainted ?
Bro, I used to get really embarrassed whenever I felt faint/fainted at the gym but knowing I'm not the only one makes me feel a bit better 💖
I was diagnosed and treated for AVNRT 2 years ago. It took years to get the diagnosis and only months to get the treatment. I never fainted. But I felt it come on. My heart rate would double and I’d get lightheaded and I’d have to lie on the ground until my heart rate returned to normal. All because a part of my heart would sporadically start sending an extra signal. I’d lie down on the ground and my heart rate returned to normal.
What do you do if you faint in school?
Hi I’m new I’ve watched a few people on you tube with POTS but I’m not exactly sure what it means or does to your body do you have a video on that?
My daughter has just been diagnosed with this. Thankyou so much. I am a nurse but from the patients side its so different to better equip me to help.
POTS & Orthostatic hypotension just make life a total blast :| I'm lucky enough that I haven't hit a full faint, though.
My sister was saying how someone with Tourette syndrome was going to be in her class and she was just making fun of how it was gonna be and i remembered how i watch you and so i smacked the crap out of her because how would she feel if she had Tourette’s and someone made fun of her.
Violence is the absence of respect, so your 'lesson' is just more negativity.
You COULD have shown these vids to your sister to spread awareness instead of spreading your anger.
Lmfao I have tourettes and people use to say shit all the time😭💀
For those who haven’t fainted…. Lucky
It’s frightening when you know that’s it’s coming and if your around people they know as well and you can’t stop yourself.
It's not frightening, you just need to know what to do to control it or ease it. As long as you don't ignore it, there's nothing to be afraid of
I’m so sorry you go through this. Thank you for being brave enough to help us be aware. You go girl!❤
Yes deffo let people know at the gym, if I saw someone faint at the gym I would kind of be checking if you need CPR as a lot of people would (you know treadmills and heart attacks)
Did u ever faint while driving
Do you dream when you faint? It's probably a stupid question but I was just wondering
I don’t know if she ever does, but I just googled it and you actually can experience dreams while unconscious from fainting or being knocked out. The more you know🤷♂️
I used to pass out (heart would stop) often before I got a pacemaker. During one episode, I "was" in space for all eternity, connected to every molecule that ever was or ever will be. I knew and felt everything.
It was amazing!
Then I thought I was back floating in the womb.
Then I woke up covered in blood with a large crowd around me. ☺
But the unconscious part - kinda like a dream, I guess - was extraordinary!!!
@@llkg9 Oh my god that sounds like a state hallucinogenic drug users call “ego death”😂 Hopefully it wasn’t horrifically traumatic for you, some people are never the same. And I’m glad you got a pacemaker, arrhythmias suck!
@@SystemError1466 Hmmm, I need to check out that term.
Anyway, I'm not religious, so I actually found the whole thing (except for the waking up part) quite comforting as I feel like I had a glimpse into "what comes next" for me.
I had lots of strange experiences during my episodes. Feeling like I was being pulled into another dimension. Connecting with myself at another point and place on our timeline.
The brain is wild!
@@llkg9 Agreed, the brain is wild! Some people hate experiences like that and some people love it, so I’m glad you found it to be comforting.
I faint often too, one thing that helps is laying down with your legs up! 😊
Yeah in a public gym for sure 😂😂
How does it being a public gym mean she doesn’t have a condition?
How old are u Zara ?
What happens if you feel like fainting while driving ?
i dont think people with tourrets can drive i might be wrong idk
@@chuuyashrrtpeople with Tourettes can drive, but also, Tourettes does NOT cause fainting, so that’s irrelevant. She has POTS which causes the fainting
I have fainted a couple times too and a tip to stop the fainting coming is when you start to feel the symtomps coming, you should put your legs up to get the excess blood from your Lower body up.
Are you going to the same gym every time? And have you considered telling the gym staff about your condition? They are probably more than happy to assist and to watch out for you when these episodes happen.
Just something to consider as your right, someone could do something to you and you wouldn’t know.
It looks like you’re hyperventilating. I would try to practice breathing from the diaphragm and not your chest. The up and down motion of your shoulders is what’s causing the restricted airflow.
I totally can feel you this happened to me on school sport class and it was so painful i wish you get better soon ❤🙏🏻
Seems like you're faking it.
As someone who this happens too I want to say, this is so cool that you’re not ashamed and share it with the world. I personally have trouble telling people about it so seeing you show people makes me smile
Take good care of you while at the gym 🥺 ask people to check out for you. I fainted once while doing deadlifts, luckily, some nice dudes helped me right away. Good vibes on your sweetheart 💫
I passed out at the gym and this has really helped ❤
I'm glad you have a process that works for you. Praying for your health and safety in the coming year. 🙏🏻
Poor girl, very impressive how you still tackle every day scenarios in your own way Zara.
It took me too long to recognize a faint coming, or what triggered them. I dont think I have POTS at least I havent been diagnosed but I have fallen numerous times in public. To me it is more embarassing now than scary. I think this method is easy for the gym because people lie in soft mats for sit ups/floor work often instead of, say, in the middle of an outdoor market (like my last faint)
I hope and pray you get better you are a nice and Lovely person take care
Bless you ❤I’m sorry you go through this. I am so thankful that you know when it’s coming though🙏🏽
I'm so sorry this happens to you. It's great you can educate others.
Much success and health to all.
Zara, God bless you! Everytime I see one of your videos I pray for you to be safe!
That must be so terrifying! Im so sorry you go through that all the time!
If you get faint so regularly, you should get your doctor to run tests. This is not normal. Also, are you eating properly? Lack of certain nutrients can cause multiple bouts of fainting
She has a fainting disorder
This is so awesome that regardless anything you re still going to the gym.
I’m glad you have a routine. I won’t pretend to know how that feels but you’re prepared :)
Live it up! Your videos are super interesting and insightful for me. Never know what someone’s going through.
I got my helix pierced and I fainted while standing, I fell flat on the concrete floor and immediately regained consciousness. It didn’t hurt like I thought it would 😭
I'm sure it's very scary! You have mastered your composure! 💯👍 Respect 🙏
Aww man.. at least you're self aware and know when it's coming so you don't get hurt!! I can't imagine having to go through all that though..
Thank you. I average 3 fainting spells a year when I am healthy which I'm getting back to and it's been months since my last one.
It freaks others out a lot more than it freaks me out. Which I totally understand because it's scary.
The floor or something you can lie on is so important. I've fallen out of chairs I thought were safe. It's not fun walking up on the ground and the risk isn't worth it no matter who is watching
Sweetheart! Have you had a tilt table test for POTS or an echocardiogram?? Please do so if you haven’t. It is never normal to faint with exertion - especially at your age. 🙏🏽💜 Great job laying down when you felt faint though!
She has POTS. She’s diagnosed with it. POTS causes fainting with exertion..
I want to see the "boring bit". Thank you for sharing your experience
Good plan, good job keeping urself safe honey, recording when u go out is a really good idea that way if someone or something does do anything u will no and can further protect urself....u r a rock star honey keep doing u ✨️ 💖
