Below is a snip from a web site. You can read this and then go to the site in the source link below. It is easy to read and understand and contains recommendations.
What causes fainting?
Fainting, which is also called syncope, can be related to many different things. More than one thing may be the cause of fainting. Sometimes a specific cause for fainting can't be found.
Fainting can happen when not enough oxygen flows through your blood and into your brain. You lose consciousness, or "pass out," for a very brief time -- just a few seconds or minutes.
A sudden drop in your blood pressure can cause you to faint. Sometimes your heart rate and blood vessels can't react fast enough when your body's need for oxygen changes. This is very common among older people. It can happen when:
* You stand up fast.
* You work or play hard, especially if it's very hot.
* You begin to breathe too fast (called hyperventilating).
* You get very upset. Being upset can affect the nerves that control your blood pressure.
* You're taking medicine for high blood pressure.
See a doctor. It is better to catch a problem early, rather than later. You'll kick yourself if you wait. That being said, try not to overly worry. Excessive worry and stress can lead to serious physical problems.
Good luck to you. Keep the concern to a minimum, but see a doctor.

It could be if your scared of something. Or that you are feeling really hot. When your scared of something... you are so scared that you faint because you think it will hurt you. Or you see shadows that make up something scary. When you are hot... your blood pressure drops or increases then you faint. But when I see most people faint.... its because they have been standing up for to long and they have bent there knees to stretch out. I believe there is many more but i already gave you enough information! (Not in a bad way)

Fainting is cause by your brain having a lack of oxegen. Triggered by stress or aggrevigation (intense actions like running) and you not being able to either A breath properly or B your anaemic and normal heart rate can barely supply your brain with oxegen

These attacks of yours sound like vaso-vagal attacks in medic-speak, or faints to the rest of us. When you faint you often have initial symptoms of nausea, or feel hot and dizzy, and some people see spots in front of their eyes. You can also experience limb muscle spasms and twitching similar to an epileptic fit. No neurologist would diagnose epilepsy after just one attack, although if you continue to have these symptoms epilepsy might need to be excluded by special tests such as an EEG (electroencephalogram), a recording of your brainwave activity.*****

I really do believe that & this has happend to many- that it is a (Lack Of Oxygen To The Brain) & that some sort of dramatic change in air temprature & that Fatigue is one other leading cause of Fainting. rumeoui.

when you faint, it's because of lack of blood flow to your brain. If it's been happening a lot lately, you might want to go to the doctor.

Low blood pressure, low blood sugar, poor diet and aneamia are a few causes. If your dizzyness persists you need to see a doctor as a matter of urgency. Jules, Australia.

Lots of things: Nervousness, low blood pressure, diabetes, not eating enough. Or even a brain tumor. Get it checked out: From what you just said, this thing isn't going away on its own.
