my mom is 53 and today when she was teaching she fainted. she said she thinks she got over heated. now she is in bed and says shes hot/cold, feels like she might throw up, and her head hurts. me and my dad keep telling her she should go to the doctor but she just says she doesn't want to sit in the car for that long and that she probably just has the flu.

Many things can be at play here. She should either she her doctor or go to the ER ASAP. This can be the flu, or dehydration, low or high blood pressure, low or high glucose (blood sugar). among some many other things. Suggest to your dad to call an ambulance, the EMTs are good at convincing someone to go to the ER. Good luck.

Sounds like the flu.

There is a virus going around that has just those symptoms; it lasts a couple of days to a week; if this goes on very long she needs to seek med. help.

Sounds like that flu going around. I'm sure she'll be ok.

She sounds like she's going through menopause. She still needs to see a dr for that, as they can relieve the symptoms.
