I have not passed out, but do get very dizzy and light headed. My doctor
says we should just wait and see if it goes away. I hate that. You may need
to adjust medication. Check with the doctor.

YES! I have dizzy spells and have passed out. After a battery of test and
an MRI, they could not find anything wrong, I have come to the conclusion
that I was dehydrated. Whenever I get that dizzy feeling, I start drinking
more fluid, and I never go out without taking ample water with me. Picking
yourself up off the floor is no fun!

Oh yes. I am battling this right now. First - go talk to your doctor and
have some blood test and other tests ran to determine if you have some sort
of inner ear issues (as that seems to be the case for my spins) and you
might have low blood pressure (like me - I stand up, take a step or two and
I hit the deck). I have vertigo (so they think and I see a ear, nose,
throat doc end of next week) and low, very low blood pressure. When I go
from a laying down or sittig down to a standing position I see stars. I
drink gatorade daily to keep me from getting dehydrated - there are other
drinks that add electroltyes, try them and see if they help. are you
drinking a lot during the day? This is all of the advice I can give - to
tell you what is going on with me and for you to see your doc and explain
your symptoms and talk to him/her about vertigo, inner ear issues and low
blood pressure. Goodluck.

Actually yes, this has happened to me recently on Saturday, May 23,'09 at
the Container Store! I'm not sure why and I didn't do or eat anything
differently from what I normally do. I was actually scheduled for my
6-month check up on Thursday, May 28th so I waited until then and besides I
already had done my labs for my follow-up and had to wait for them to come
back, so while visiting with my doctor and going over my labs we discovered
my B-12 & my iron was low, so he gave me a B-12 shot and told me to
increase my iron intake and see how that works and so far, there have been
no more fainting spells.

Maybe get your labs done and definitely check with your doctor, good luck!
