Practically or almost the same?

Hi. Are these correct?

dropped her wallet coming out her house

fainted waiting for the train

tripped walking down the hill

How about these? Are they correct? If they are, do you see any difference between the ones below and the ones above? If you do, what do you see as the difference?

dropped her wallet while coming out her house

fainted while waiting for the train

tripped while walking down the hill

They all look correct to me, and I see no difference in meaning. I'm assuming that these phrases are to be embedded in sentences in obvious ways, not in cryptic or "trick" ways.
