This is dumb its called a vasovagal syncope. I've had the same condition for years and it takes a lot of willpower to not pass out when I have blood drawn (laying down and distracting myself). I probably passed out more than a dozen times during my time in the military. Even the sight of blood or discussion of it could trigger a syncope.

Its happened to me with vaccines, blood drawn, and watching a disturbing video i had to for training... I had a syncope moments after walking out of Dr office after having blood drawn. Feel fine go to sit down.. next thing I know I'm waking up in another room with a half dozen Dr's around me in a military hospital.

I haven't had a syncope for years since getting out and when I do get blood drawn at the VA I'm very aware of my condition and let the nurse know. I use a baby butterfly needle, lay down, and ask the nurse to talk to me about anything. So far they've been accommodating.
