Do you have a blood pressure cuff to log these episodes?

Another cause of fainting is A-fib in the heart. This is a very
serious cause of fainting and can cause a stroke.

So it is critical that you see a doctor and have tests run.
You may have wear a monitor for a period of time to catch the episodes for diagnosis.

Some blood pressure drugs are used to treat RSD..calcium channel blockers ...if you are taking one of these, you may be having low blood pressure.
Clonidine (for pain) and Zanaflex (muscle relaxant) also lower
blood pressure.

Please see your doctor ASAP.
