Yes: Fainting had many causes, some could be related to arrhythmia ( fast or slow heart beats) or could be due to low blood pressure or other neurologic causes. Ask your doctor for event monitor if you have a recurrent unexplained fainting, this will try to correlate your fainting spells with any abnormality in the heart beats and then you can determine if arrhythmia is the cause of fainting.
