I have been feeling like I'm going to faint for a week now. I actually fainted on Monday. I also fainted 2 other times this year and once last year. I been to the neurologist and the ER. And I still have this problem. Do anybody have any other suggestion as to what I should do about this problem?

poor cirulation can cause that and i wonder why your Doctor has not given you anything for it, jus think you would drive down the road and really pass out that would be sad, Please go see or tell your Doctor, Happpy new year

well, I saw you posted this in pain mgt. and it made me remember my reaction to the Fentanyl patch. I had some faint like feelings when I started the patch but it's gone now. It was kinda scary because I have OI (brittle bones)
Have you started any new meds? Hope you are ok!! Have you discussed with the doctor. Not an ER but your PCP primary care physician.
You should if you haven't. Ask for a full exam. Just tell him what your concerns are and ask him to resolve the issue.
Good Luck, hon! -Shell

My exfiance's little sister had a problem with fainting. The receptors in her bloodvessels in her legs were not recieving the message to constrict, therefor all the blood would rush down to her feet and she would faint randomly. She was put on medicine, and had to wear special tights on her legs. She can't be hot or it will happen again. Just keep going to the doctor untill they find out what is wrong

Get you potassium level checked..
Sometimes this can be caused by LOW blood pressure....
Check your diet with your healthcare professional... you may need to eat more potassium rich foods...
I know when I was younger.. I had a BP of 97/68 and I'm 6'5" tall. When I'd stand up in a hurry... my eyesight would grow fuzzy... and I'd feel like I was about to faint...
Ends up my BP was LOW.....

If your blood pressure is below 90/60 it could be low blood pressure.
Too much salt is very bad for both high blood pressure as well as low blood pressure.

for now you should be eating more than usual because your body is giving you a sign that it needs something. so eat a lot of healthy foods and drink a lot of fluids..most especially water. and if this doesn't work than you need to go to the hospital.

Sounds like you might have some blood pressure issues. Have your blood pressure checked.
See your regular doctor and have a blood workup done.

Visit your GP or nurse and have them run some tests; it could be something simple like anaemia but it may be more sinister.

Check your blood pressure, if it is low eating more salt may help.

whenever you feel so, go to sleep. Maybe, that works.
