A member asked:

Why do i keep fainting ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibilities: Causes include dehydration, vasovagal reactions to pain or foul situations, anemia, low thyroid, cardiac problems, low blood pressure, autonomic syndromes, medication reactions, use of recreational drugs, (and maybe not fainting, but instead epileptic events). See a doctor and get evaluated.
