    I can tell you that while passing out doesn’t feel bad, surviving and coming back is still one of the most brutal things I ever experienced. So proceed with caution, sometimes you can plan as carefully as you can, it may still go sideways

      If its anything like fainting (I have a bit of a history of fainting in medical settings) the going is very unpleasant and the coming back is far worse for the first 10 minutes or so while the body to normalizes again.

      Most recently I happened to have my daughter with me while at a checkup which included a fasting blood glucose test. The nurse collected my blood and hurried off to process it and I started hearing and seeing static. When I realized it was not getting better I told her “go find someone and tell them daddy doesn’t feel good” and hearing the door followed by her saying “daddy doesn’t feel good” while my vision and hearing faded into pure static and pins and needles was surreal and honestly the kind of thing nightmares are made from
