Is it normal to do this when you faint?

I have only fainted twice in my life: once when I was having blood drawn and when I got my belly button pierced.

Both times, the nurse/piercer told me afterwards that it looked like I was having a seizure because I went completely rigid before I passed out. I do not remember doing this. However, before I fainted I do remember suddenly getting a massive headache and feeling like I'd throw up but both were gone when I woke up.(Also the piercer told me he'd never seen anyone faint that badly before).

So is it normal for this to happen before you faint? Also is it normal to faint while you're getting a piercing?

    You need to ask a doctor.

      You probobly had one. Some people get seizures when giving blood. Ask the doctor since you might have an unknown condition.

    The last time I fainted, I was told it looked like I was havind a seizure. My eyes were open, or so I'm told, and I was twitching like crazy. I really HATE fainting!! :(

    I'm the same way. I got these weird injections where they put bubbles in my arms it felt so weird that it made me feel like I had to puke then all of a sudden I heard my mom screaming for the doctor as I woke up. She said I just threw back in my chair and my face lost color. I laid on the floor a while and was fine.
