ITA with Dew. Fainting can have many causes; have it checked out by a doctor, please.
A few months ago, I started having extreme dizzy spells while washing my hair. I wash my hair on a special chair in the bathroom sink. Every time I bent forward, after a while (with shampoo still half in my hair), I got so dizzy... It was more like vertigo, I fell to one side each time (the right) and felt like the rug was simultaneously being pulled from under me. Sometimes I even vomited. They have me on Betahistine for a month now, and last week I went to the ear, nose, throat specialist who did a bundle of tests that took an hour (hearing tests, balance tests - it was like being in a space chair!). Turns out that I have a thing called
"Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo". I have to do some exercises to help the debris sort itself out, and then I need to lessen on the Betahistine. I never blacked out, though!
Fainting is a whole other issue.
My point?
Have it checked out. Not everything is RSD or is due to RSD or stress or...
