See a doctor: People faint for many reasons. Proper treatment and recommendations depend on the underlying problem causing the fainting. You could have dehydration, anemia, heart arrhythmia or some other problem. Proper evaluation by your physician will lead to the proper recommendations. I hope that your problem is easily remedied- good luck!

Fainting: Losing consciousness is not normal and must be investigated to determine causal mechanism before any intervention can be trialled, do not drive or operate machinery till resolved.
