Why did I faint during my first acupuncture treatment?
I am only 13, and have never had any phobia of needles… I went in because of my tennis elbow problem, and my tennis academy recommended this acupuncturist… We were all skeptical but decided to give it a try… I went in, and he put in about 2 needles and I said I’m fine… After about four needles I felt the elctricity and then I said im really dizzy… All of a sudden it blacked out… I woke up with my mom screaming and I thought it was a dream… The acupuncturist said I had a "Chi Reaction" or something and my face turned white and my eyes rolled into the back of my head… I collapsed and fell on the floor… After ten seconds I woke up… What an experience!!!! Never going back- always thought acupuncture was a bunch of gibberish–

You decide what you want, but such cases get more benefit out of acupuncture, as it shows the sensitivity. May be much less intensity current will cure you. As you noted, needles themselves you had tolerated well.
Good luck!
