Has any one been expericing blackouts after there AVM has been removed??
Depends on your definition of black out. It's possible you're experiencing petite seizures. Sometimes you don't notice them; you just zone out for a bit. Or do you mean like total blackout?
Hi Kristi,
I don’t feel it’s a total blackout. The best way I can explain it is a slow blacker covering you brain from back to front. Your eyes start to blacken. So you stop moving until the moment passes. I have had a couple of theses experiences lately during physical activity.
I know what you mean. I don't know what it is. I've experienced them before I knew had an avm. Kind of like your brain napping for a few seconds while you're awake. Like a sheet being pulled over. Or like when you stand up too fast and it goes white for a few secs only this turns black (or for me it was kind of red/black). I have no idea if that's a seizure thing or not. Does it tingle at all when it happens? Definitely something to ask a Dr. about. I hate saying that because it's not always easy to just ask a Dr.
