Passing Out

This past Sunday I had a new experience: I fainted.    I have never fainted before, though for some reason I have kind of have wanted to experience it, and now I have.   I fainted from standing up too fast, I think.   Growing up I have almost always had low blood pressure (at least as much as I can remember), and because of that, when I would stand up too fast, sometimes I would partially black out and lose a bit of sight for a few seconds before returning to normal.   However I have noticed up until the last week or so, I haven't had that happen much if at all - a doctor even told me that my blood pressure was low last fall.   Well, the day before I fainted, I had a chiropractor appointment and they took my vitals and told me that I have low blood pressure.   So when I stood up on Sunday after sitting for a while, I started to black out.  When I first noticed that I was starting to black out I reached out and held onto the bookshelf (I was in the living room).   As I fully blacked out, I have memory of a dream-like feeling mixed with hitting the clock with my head and seeing my aunt looking down at me.   It was very dreamy and peaceful.   It took me a bit to get my bearings afterwards again.   I apparently fainted, hitting my head on the clock on the wall and bringing it down with me.  My aunt heard the loud bang (which I recall hearing as well, but it too was dreamy) and came in and asked if I was alright.   She saw that I was kneeling on the floor and holding the clock.   When she asked about it, I replied, but my reply was delayed as my mind hadn't processed it all yet.  It still took quite a while after that before I felt fully with it again.
