If you feel like you are about to faint, try to:
- lie down with your legs raised – if you cannot do this then sit with your head lowered between your knees.
- drink some water.
- eat something.
- take some deep breaths.
Why do I keep feeling like I'm going to pass out?
Many different conditions can cause fainting. These include heart problems such as irregular heart beats, seizures, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), anemia (a deficiency in healthy oxygen carrying cells), and problems with how the nervous system (the body's system of nerves) regulates blood pressure.
