What Do Blackouts Along With Tremors Indicate?

I had an episode at work where I was standing at the register and I blacked out but did not fall to the ground but when I came to I was resting my head on my hand and my body was shaking and so were my legs. I went to the ER but they did not find anything. Just wondering what might have caused it. To me it seemed like a mini seizure but not sure.

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to different possible disorders: orthostatic hypotension, a seizure, low blood pressure, a cardiac arrhythmia, hypoglycemia, an electrolyte imbalance, etc..
For this reason, I recommend you to measure frequently your blood pressure values in the next days in sitting and standing up position.
I would also recommend performing some tests:
- a complete blood count
- fasting glucose
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- an ECG Holter monitoring for cardiac arrhythmia
- a Head Up Tilt test for orthostatic hypotension
- an EEG.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
