Sounds like you need to learn how to burp.

Most likely a vagal response. Your stomach distended quickly -> inc. vagal tone -> heart slows - > pass out.

I wouldn't waster your time and money going to a doctor unless it happens again.

Yeah, I was not dizzy when I woke, which leads me to believe that I didn't have an oxygen shortage.

My boss will make me go to the doctor. She's weird like that.

I don't think its a big deal, but go to the doctor anyway as a precaution.

I can just see the follow-up thread: god damn doctor charged me 150 bucks to tell me there's nothing wrong

(Disclaimer) If you feel the need to see a physician then do so. Raj and I do not have the benefit of examining you in person and as such have only limited data from which to form our opinions.

Called doctor, they said that, because I know what event led to the blackout, I'd be fine. If I didn't know, then I should go in. If it happens again, then I should go in. They said most likely a lack of oxygen to the brain; because I wasn't very dizzy when I woke, it was not serious.
