Okay, so today (1/26) I fainted in school, and i don't know why. I ate breakfast this morning at 5:30 and then I have 3 classes on the block schedule before lunch, which means I usually eat about 1:15, well the class right before lunch is gym and we were weight training. But I'm not exactly a stranger to training.
It didn't happen right away, I went into the locker room, changed my clothes, did my hair, and waited with my friends for the bell, I know it was more than 15 minutes since we had stopped, because when we walked in my friend said 15 minutes till bell, and the last thing I hear before I passed out was the bell ringing.
I've also fainted two times before this. The first was about this time last year and I was at the hospital visiting my father and I don't know what happened, they said my blood pressure dropped a lot. The second I had been working out over the summer on a stationary bike and I went to get water and passed out halfway down the hallway.

Could be dehydration, drink enough fluids so you are weeing clear wee, then you know you have had enough to drink. This affects blood pressure if you have a low volume of blood to pump around.
Could be just syncope..which is an affliction alot of people present with at the emergency department. It encompases low BP and therefore low amount oxygen getting to the brain so you just faint..a syncopic episode. The patient usually reverts to normal in no time and no ill affects can be seen.
If you are studying hard and working hard then the stress of that situation can mount leading to a syncopic episode.
Try some relaxation twice a day in a quiet area

You should see a doctor. Fainting could be from something as like being dehydrated or hypoglycemic. It could also be from heart problems. So, see a doctor.

Go see a doctor. Fainting could me a variety of things. You could have narcolepsy or it could be something about your blood pressure dropping and that could me another variety of things.

I would talk to the dr. It could be a medical problem with chronic low blood pressure, or an issue from when your heart rate raised too high.

believe it or not you probably have a slow heart rate...you need to be moving all the time to keep your blood flowing...the same thing has happened to my so twice, basically he is in to goo shape and when he does not move and particularly when he stands still to long he just might feint too..

Read up on postural hypotension. It sounds like what you have.
