Heyy
I'm a 19 year old female and I'm a healthy weight. The other day i was suddenly struck with what I think might have been a fainting spell. I was sitting with my cousin and started to think I might have to vomit. Then my body felt very weak and disconnected from reality and black spots began to blur my vision . My cousin says I got extremely pale, my pupils constricted, and my lips turned a shade of blue. After about 30 seconds of my vision blacking out it got to the point where i Knew I was losing consciousness.

I must have lost consciousness for a few seconds or something...because I remember seeing bright flashes of colors that weren't related to anyhing in the room.

My cousin laid my down across the table and turned the lights down. This seemed to help and I came back to myself pretty quickly. As I started to come back to myself I could feel a pain in my head. I can only explain it as a band wrapped across the top of my head. As it lessened, the better I felt. When I was better, I no longer felt as if I had to vomit and I felt absoloutely fine.

Idont know what this is and I've never experienced anything like it. Thank you for any help!!
 
Sounds like an anoxic seizure - a faint/seizure due to lack of oxygen (blue lips) to the brain. Something caused your blood pressure to plummet.

Were you standing for a long period of time? Under unusually high stress? Dehydrated?
 
It does sound like a type of seizure. Try going to the Epilepsy board here. There are a lot of people there who have seizures or who have loved ones with seizures and could give you more opinions.
At any rate, though, I think you should see your doctor about it.
