Answer 1

You may have an iron deficiency anemia.

Here is some info..

"Having iron deficiency anemia may cause you to feel tired and often look pale. It's a common type of anemia — a condition in which blood is lacking healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen to tissues. Oxygenated blood gives your body energy and your skin a healthy color.

As the name implies, iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Your body needs the element iron to make hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen.

Iron deficiency anemia is common, especially in women. One in five women and half of all pregnant women are iron deficient. Lack of iron in your diet is one cause of iron deficiency anemia, but there are other causes as well.

You can usually correct iron deficiency anemia with iron supplementation. Sometimes, other treatments are necessary if you're bleeding internally."
Quoted from http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/iron-deficiency-anemia/DS00323

Or, you could have Diabetes. I would insist on further testing.

I fainted at times during my second pregnancy and it was due to low iron and I was told to eat more Broccoli.

Answer 2

Hopefully you have been checked for pregnancy..this is a clasic symptom for some people..another thing, it could be an inner ear infection or low blood sugar,if the Dr. can't find the reason, ask for a MRI, you may have a tumor pressing on a vital spot..

Answer 3

I would see a Neurologist.

Are you eating properly? Taking in enough calories, taking any diuretics, too much caffeine? Are you taking any herbal supplements? There are many things that can trigger these things, it's best to see a doctor of course.

Are you having anxiety or panic attacks? Are you under any stress?

Just see a doctor because that is not normal.

Answer 4

you could have low blood sugar. I fainted walking through a mall and that was the cause.

Answer 5

Is your blood pressure normal? A good internist should be able to figure it out.

Answer 6

Simple go and see your doctor, it could be something that is minor to something that is major.

Do yourself and your body a favour and see your doctor straight away

Answer 7

I would go to your family physician and ask them to check your blood sugar.
