Black outs: Symptoms of lightheadedness are nonspecific in nature. Faintness and dizziness are other terms people use to described their symptoms. "blacking out" really refers to an interruption in consciousness or awareness and is not normal. This can be related to seizures or near syncope (near faint). Any events that impair awareness or consciousness need to be evaluated by a physician.
