oh hiya, not seen u on here for a while, how are things? Well i think this sounds like a visit to your GP is necessary as it is quite worryinbg to be falling down like that. I wouldn't speculate, see the Doc.

l'd go and see my GP as soon as possible if I were you. It could be due to any number of things, but get it checked out.

[NEGROWPLEASE]

wow you guys respond fast.

GP is short for ___________

thanks again

GP = general physician

Get thee there fast! And good luck. This sounds like something you don't want to mess around with.

Yer go to the docs for blood tests etc. You dont want to be driving, walking across a road etc when you black out.

[dot.hawkes]

Oh I always thought GP stood for General Practitioner.!

[PinkFizz]

So did I Dot! Oh well.either way please get to see a doctor as soon as possible - as 4getmenot said you could be driving when this next happens.
