Depression and passing out?

Ok, to put a long story short is there any link between depression and passing out?

Ok so I've had depression for about 2 years now yahtta yahtta yahtta, and was with the boyfriend yesterday, felt fine and then next thing you know I'm on the floor, boyfriend thinking wth?? asking me if i'm alright and if I remember anything and its happened twice since that this weekend, i just have passed out.

Apparently I was out for a short time, but I dunno its just wierd.

I've been eating like a horse (for like once in my life) this weekend so I don't think its to do with blood sugar etc and I don't recall being dehydrated :no:

He said that apparently being really stressed and whatnot could contribute to it and he said it could be linked to my depression but I was abit like wtf?

Any ideas?
I have asked elsewhere but no one else seems to know :confused:
Thanks

    Well linked to your depression in the sense that the stress that is causing your depression could perhaps be linked to the blackouts. Though I doubt you would pass out just because you were depressed.

    there are no links unless it is a side effect of your meds, or unless your passing out and depression are both side effects of something else. could you be pregnant?

    Lol hell no am I pregnant, I haven't had sex for months :S
    And no, I stopped taking Anti D's time ago because of the side effects.

    Arggh, I don't want this to happen during an exam or something :(

    Thanks for the replies so far though :)

    I would get yourself to a Dr ASAP. It could be something, it could be nothing but passing out randomly is not something you should just let go unchecked IMO.

    Also, try calling NHS Direct but, I suspect they will tell you to go and see a Dr.

    Yeah I'll book an appointment *sigh*.
    Thanks for the replies.
    Should I be telling my counsellor about this too by any chance?
    Or will she just think I'm overreacting?
    Thanks :thumb:

    If there is any link, s/he'll know about it, so it can't hurt to mention it
