    Once I got over a bike and drove about 4km to the shop. When I got off the bike, entered said shop, got some products, and then I lost my vision. Gradually. It started going out like somebody was turning off the light little by little every second. And then complete darkness. At this point I was checking out and was trying to blindly get my pennies (prob was looking like a drunkard or smth) and went out trying not to trip over, sat on a bench, vision restored. It was amusing to me, quite scary for my mom and a shop owner.

    (Sorry for chopped up English)

      Blood pressure. Your blood pressure was failing on you. When you have that happen you should not push it as it will only become worse.

      Sit down for a second and it goes away almost immediately. You were lucky to have done so. If you had kept pushing you’d have fainted for a second. Not long but still long enough to get injured while you collapse.

        Sometimes I’ll do the fighter jet pilot thing where I breathe out slowly while clenching all my gut muscles and I feel like that helps, does that help or am I just imagining it?
