See your Dr.: This is a question for a Dr in person. Any fainting episode may be indicative of potentially serious underlying problems. You should have a thorough exam and possibly some lab tests. If you have been dieting and your blood glucose fell too low, you may need to adjust your intake and carefully monitor your response. Always check with your Dr before starting a drastic diet regimen.
