Today, I woke up in the hospital. I had apparently overworked my heart so much that I fainted. What caused it? I was playing a racing game on my Wii and freaked out when I won first place. FML

Today, I was feeling really good about myself for running and walking everywhere so much so that I was out of breath and panting. Well, until I remembered that I was playing a video game and it was my character that was doing the running around that is. FML

Today, I fainted and woke up in a hospital. My mom drove me to the emergency room. The doctor said I had a panic attack. What did I have a panic attack from? Bidding on eBay. FML

Today, my brother got upset at his video game and flung his DS at the wall, just as I was walking by. I got knocked out to the sound of someone crossing the finish line in MarioKart. FML

Today, I had a weird dream I woke up on the bathroom floor at my local gym. Turns out it wasn't a dream, and I passed out from "overworking myself". I was on the treadmill for under 5 minutes, walking. FML

Today, I finally finished a gruelling shift at the hospital. I hadn't slept in over 30 hours, so I was happy to get out. I was quickly rushed back in after I collapsed in the parking lot and cracked my head open. FML

Today, I came home from the hospital diagnosed with high blood pressure. It's caused by stress. My wife had a very long talk with my son about it. All the kid has been doing for the past 2 hours is scream at his Playstation. I'd rather be at the hospital. FML

Today, I was at work as a lifeguard. The temperature was absolutely stifling, but I tried to tough it out. A couple of hours into my shift, I passed out, fell off my stand, and crashed into the water. Or so the medics tell me. FML

Today, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. When the nurse took my blood pressure, I passed out, and fell off the table. FML

Today, I finally went to the hospital for a week-long migraine. A few Saturdays ago I went to the park to play frisbee with my friends and coworkers. While climbing a fence, I fell and hit my head twice. Turns out I have a severe concussion and a swollen brain. FML

Today, I was at work and got chest pains and a headache so bad, I vomited. My supervisor took my blood pressure twice and it was dangerously high both times. I went to the hospital, and after 3 hours of waiting, I got the most expensive lecture ever on drinking too many energy drinks. FML

This FML reminds me how I just lost ALL my data on my Wii when I got it back from the repair place yesterday.

Fainting is NOT a reason to go to the hospital. Whoever brought you there is silly.

#40, in most cases that would be true, but we don't know anything about the OP's health. They may have a heart condition, or some other condition. My girlfriend has diabetes and cardiomyopathy, so if she were to faint, the first action would be to call an ambulance in case it's something to do with her heart. Fainting can be serious under certain circumstances. And OP...YDI for getting so excited over a game. It's almost as bad as the FML from the other day about someone crying themselves into a panic attack over their favourite anime character being killed.

Actually, #49, it sounds like a real race might've been better for his overall health. LOL OP, I should think that you need more work on the fitness games (i.e. Wii Fit) instead.

I'm sorry for your loss, but what does that have to do with anything? No one's saying that skinny people don't suffer from heart conditions (particularly those who are underweight). Just that when they hear gamer with heart problems they assume said gamer must be obese. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it's what people are going to think.
