Are you on any medications?, have you eaten and drank a lot of water?, did something shocking or scary happen?, were you overheated from weather or in a crowd?, did you hyperventilate due to anxiety or fear? .All these episodes can cause fainting. A lot of blood loss from period also. See your doctor right away, don't try to treat yourself.
