And it sounds like she had a seizure.

I hope she's going to be okay.

I just read (on Jokers) that she is in the hospital as is Allison (she had an allergic reaction to something and got hives and swelled up).

I wonder if she will be able to come back. I just read the live feeds about it, they were talking about low blood sugar?

I hope she's going to be ok too.

I'll wait to see if they come back.

Here is a Video of her a few minutes before she fainted, she was telling Nat and Alex she needed sugar.

When you see her and Nat walk out of the screen in the living room Amanda faints.

They need to stop with the slop already. That's the reason she fainted, right?

since my own words are often dismissed, Here is a great link

http://www.disasterfirstaid.com/checkpt1.html

snip* Because an unconscious person loses their "gag reflex" it's possible for the tongue to fall back into the throat and block the air passageway.

By quickly opening the airway and keeping it open so the person can breathe, you may save a life.

When a person is breathing okay but is unconscious, turn them onto their side and prop them in position. Then the tongue will fall naturally away from the throat leaving the airway open, and fluids can safely drain away.

Yes a dramatic change in diet can do that to someone. Even if your new diet is "healthy". A big change is too much for some people.

Thanks Sun. Mind if I copy that? I've gone down a time or two over the years and think it might be something to keep. (Low blood pressure/low blood sugar)

Outside of the house she probably knew very well how to manage her hypoglycaemia - what to eat and when. Now she's on slop I'm guessing she just isn't familiar enough with what's in it to know how much she should have and at what intervals. BB should really have made sure she had glucose capsules or allowed her to eat more often. I would think the slop itself is nutritionally adequate, but that's irrelevant if she's not eating enough of it because she doesn't like it or not eating it often enough.

Can I just say, way to go on the quick action HGs...NOT! Even Nat who is right freaking there waits several seconds to actually call for the help of others.

Ummmm my real post was quickly deleted so I couldnt copy it for ya.

But it is a good idea to actually prop a person up with Pillows on their side

Lyn, It depends on how far out you are. If you are kinda groggy and your pressure is low, sometimes on your back with LEGS raised is a way to get the blood pressure back up.

There are times where 'On the Back' is okay it truly depends on whether it is an Unknown collapse/ or a "here we go again" collapse.

My blood pressure falls rapidly every once in awhile and I will get dopey and faint. My family doesnt react if I quickly lay down on the floor regardless of which room i'm in LOL

I know I reacted strongly in the other thread when I saw how they flipped Amanda over. That is exactly when she started choking and gasping for air. One of the youtubes showed clearly that she flipped herself back onto her side.

Scarey STUFF!!

LOL Ks. Surprised someone didnt just kinda Poke her and say Wake up!

I think BB officials need to figure out a quicker Emergency procedure to follow. I was surprised when no one burst thru the door.

Not that it, matters much, but...What exactly is the proper term for that hyperventilating/wheezing thing that accompanied the convulsions?

Maybe a separate thread for this?
You know, just to keep this to discussion of Amanda fainting?

What do ya say?

Sun - The only explanation I can come up with for the lack of immediate action from the HGs is that Amanda has kind of developed a reputation in the house as the girl who cried wolf.

I watched it happen and when Nat called for help they all came running. Nat may have hestitated abit before acting but can anyone really say when they aren't trained and find themselves in that situation how they would react??

None of the HGs have medical training that I have heard of. People panic. I don't think their reaction was totally abnormal.

It didnt look like Convulsions to me. She was gasping for breath and appeared to be panicking (rightfully so!)


Beek, thx for your suggestion but why would a post of 'what to do when someone faints' not be in the 'What did the HGs do when Amanda fainted' thread.

I think it is important info ESPECIALLY when so many people are watching that youtube of what the HGS did incorrectly.

I think it is fairly normal for an untrained person to hesitate in that situation. My understanding is that people can be incredibly slow to react at times.

Perhaps the subject should be edited to include whatever happened to Alisson.

I agree KS. She is someone who has behaved in a certain way and I can imagine that some of the HGs may have thought she was just goofing off.

especially when she was caught spreading gossip today. It was stressful and she must have been full of adrenaline then had a Big Crash.

Poor girl, I feel bad for her.

it is miserable when your health stops you from doing Normal Life activities, like playing a game.

EXITING for a while.

Sunsh...just to keep the topic on Amanda's fainting itself and the aftermath of it.
Maybe the info you have to offer would be better seen in it's own thread for those that want that info. Just sayin'...just suggesting, that's all.

Obviously things weren't handled perfectly. But I don't think Amanda was faking that.
