I faint lots. The best is to lie down and elevate your legs. Drinking lots of water and having a snack like a peperoni stick or cheese also helps. You can also put your head between your knees.

* Lie down for a minute or two. This will allow more blood to flow to your brain. After lying down, sit up slowly and remain sitting for 1 to 2 minutes before slowly standing up.
* Rest. It is not unusual to develop lightheadedness during some viral illnesses, such as a cold or the flu. Resting will help prevent attacks of lightheadedness.
* Do not drive a motor vehicle, operate equipment, or climb on a ladder while you are dizzy.
* Do not use substances that can damage your circulation, including caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs.
* Avoid dehydration, which can cause or increase lightheadedness, when you have an illness that causes diarrhea, vomiting, or a fever. Drink more fluids, especially water. Other fluids are also helpful, such as fruit juice mixed to half-strength with water, rehydration drinks, weak tea with sugar, clear broth, and gelatin dessert. If you have another medical condition, such as kidney disease or heart disease, that limits the amount of fluids you are allowed to have, do not drink more than this amount without first talking to your doctor.

Yes, if you start to feel like you are going through a dizzy attack douse yourself with cold water.
The water should help-it does when I have a dizzy attack.

It depends on what type of dizzy attack. If you get dizzy upon standing up quickly, then get up more slowly (duh!), and it might help to drink more water throughout the day. You also might want to get your blood pressure and blood sugar tested.

Could be serious if this happens regularly--perhaps an ear problem? I think this merits a doctor visit.
