Shaking, fainting: Main reason 4 fainting is 2 little blood or blood sugar getting 2 head. I assume U R better now as U ring this. Could be lo blood sugar, irregular heart beat. Go to your doc. You may need a Holter monitor to get your HR over an extended time. It says U live in MN. If you can B seen at Mayo they are superb and will find out.
