I went through a stage where I used to faint regularly I fainted in a lift and once in one of my lessons that was embarrassing. Anyway it could be for a number of different reasons such as not having eaten enough, stress, lack of blood or oxygen to the brain or a low blood pressure. I suggest you go see a doctor they will be able to tell you what exactly is wrong. Hope it gets sorted :biggrin:

Yeah I've had that happen to me a few times. Both times mine was caused by dehydration.

Maybe you are not drinking enough fluids, if it does persist though you may want to see your GP.

It could be low blood pressure (hypotension). Might be worth getting you blood pressure checked at your local pharmacy, especially as it's free. And if it's normal then that rules out hypotension as a cause.

anemia? Lack of iron... dehydration. Go to your gp.

yep ive done it a couple of times too.

both times it was hot, so probably dehydration however i think my blood pressures quite low too so that could be a cause.

thankyou for all the replys :smile:

I got sent to the hospital from work after it happened again and got a whole load of tests done and turns out my blood sugar level was slightly low and i was dehydrated. But feeling a lot better now :smile:
