In stoner jargon, this is usually known, among other things, as a 'whitey' or 'green out'.

WHITE OUT FAINTING SERIES

Every seasoned smoker has experienced - or has seen someone going through it - at least once, a series of really unpleasant and adverse effects that are the result of their bodyвЂ™s reaction to THC. If fainting during sex is a concern for you or someone you know, speaking with a health care provider can help determine the causes and appropriate treatments.Sometimes, cannabis doesnвЂ™t have the effect you might expect. For more information about this practice, check out Auto-erotic asphyxiation in the Go Ask Alice! Sexual and Reproductive Health archives.

ItвЂ™s crucial to note AEA can be dangerous, as it has sometimes resulted in brain damage or even death. Through AEA, partners may choose to temporarily suffocate themselves or one another, in order to heighten their sexual pleasure. With all this said, itвЂ™s worth mentioning that some people may intentionally faint during orgasm, through a practice called auto-erotic asphyxiation (AEA). These could rangeВ from lifestyle changes such as increasing salt intake, drinking more fluids, avoiding alcohol, and getting sufficient exercise to taking medications and closer monitoring. Because of the variety of factors at play with these conditions, exploring different treatment options may be in order to find what works best.

The good news is that all of these conditions can be monitored and treated. When the exertion ends, their heart rate decreases, but the blood vessels from the muscles remain dilated, causing them to feel faint or pass out. However, when they exert themselves during physicalВ or sexual activity, their heart may not be able to maintain adequate blood pressure.

Abnormal heart rhythm: During daily activities, people with this serious health condition may feel fine.While there isnвЂ™t a cure, POTS can be effectively managed with lifestyle changes and medications. There are a number of associated symptoms, such as blurred vision, fainting, heart palpitations, headache, poor concentration, tiredness, and other symptoms that resemble fatigue. Other factors that may trigger POTS include low blood volume, heightened activation of the sympathetic (вЂњfight or flightвЂќ) nervous system, and rapid increase in heart rate - especially when transitioning from laying down to standing up. During sex, this can happen if a person switches up positions too quickly. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS): POTS is a condition that happens when too little blood returns to the heart, sometimes causing fainting.Typically, this condition is harmless and requires simple monitoring but no formal treatment. Common triggers include: getting up from a sitting or lying position too quickly, and drinking alcohol or caffeine. Vasovagal syncope: When a personвЂ™s vagus nerve (the nerve running from the brain to the chest and abdomen) becomes overstimulated, their heart rate and blood pressure may suddenly drop, which can lead them to briefly lose consciousness.Specific health conditions which may be related to unintentional fainting are: If someone does experience unintentional fainting during sex, itвЂ™s best that they speak with their medical provider to determine appropriate treatment or management options. To date, there isnвЂ™t sufficient research examining the cause of this, but itвЂ™s potentially due to some underlying medical conditions.В There are also individuals who intentionally faint during sex to heighten their pleasure (be it partnered or solo sex), but itвЂ™s key to note that doing so carries with it some serious health risks and could potentially be fatal (more on that in a bit). As a result, they may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, and even fainting spells. It may 'come' as a surprise to learn that some people unintentionally faint while orgasming! Though rare, itвЂ™s possible that when people become sexually aroused, their breath shortens and quickens so rapidly that they hyperventilate, disrupting their bodyвЂ™s balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
