A member asked:

How can you stop feeling like im about to faint?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Near syncope: The term for nearly passing out, but this can have many causes. You should see your doctor to assess for explanations. It could be low blood pressure, metabolic problem like high blood sugar, or problems with heart rate being too high or low. Please have this evaluated.
