I had sleep paralysis a few days ago, and have ever since felt faint.

See sleep specialist: Faint is one of those words that is somewhat 'culture bound'...meaning it means very different things depending on social context. Sleep paralysis is better defined...knowing what it is suggests to me you already have made contact with a sleep speciality facility. If not, that would be my suggestion.
