    over the hill - sounds like a faint / collapse due to pain and bowel movement, and being unwell from the beans.

    if you do not have lasting headache / weakness typically one side / facial droop / trouble swallowing
    it would unlikely to be mini stroke (and they do not typically show as a collapse as you described).

    however, if you are still unwell, go to your Dr and be checked - particularly if you have lots of health issues or are diabetic or you hit your head

    Dylan Pointon - it is quite possible you had a TIA (Transient ischemic attack) also known as a mini-stroke. The symptoms are basically the same as a CVA (Cerebrovascular accident) Stroke. TIA's are usually the sign that a stroke is going to happen within 3 months. what made me think it was a TIA is because of mental confusion and a syncopic (collapse) Event, Get to the GP ASAP please and have them check you out. but you did not complain of Paresthesia (numbness of body parts) so it was most likely Because you were unwell

    Or it could be something completely different. Take other peoples opinions as well not just mine

    Serene E - Sorry, but pasing out twice is very serious. You should see a doctor immediately.

    gangadharan nair - Go to the hospital and take a complete medical check-up to rule out cardiovascular disorders.
    Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) do not cause lasting damage to the brain.
    However, they are a warning sign that you may have a true stroke someday. More than 10% of people who have a TIA will have a stroke within 3 months. Half of these strokes happen during the 48 hours after a TIA. The stroke may occur that same day or at a later time. Some people have only a single episode, and some have more than one episode.
    You can reduce your chances of a future stroke by following-up with your health care provider to manage your risk factors.
