I : I can't tell by this info how stable or unstable you are right now. However, i would not want to be hemodynamically unstable if i were going to fly. Fainting on an airplane can cause a lot of commotion. If you are often feeling faint when standing, don't recommend that you fly. I do recommend that you see your doctor to find out what your health problem is.

See your doctor: Nobody can know what is going on with you just on the basis of that history - hundreds of things may cause all the symptoms you have, and they certainly may just be related to your anxiety and stress. It sounds like you need a thorough history, physical examination and probably some lab tests before anybody can give you a satisfactory answer, and potential treatment.
