I'm at work (sonic) and I started feeling dizzy. I thought maybe it would pass and I'll be okay but I couldn't stand up any longer so I asked my boss for a break. Just as I finished talking to him I started blacking out! I felt like I was going to faint. Its waaay too hot here and the A/C guy just fixed the air. I've had this kind of thing happen to me before. Why does it keep happening to me?

There are many possibilities, none of which can be diagnosed online. You could be anemic, you could be suffering from heat stroke (which is unlikely if you're not outside in the sun), you could have excessive bleeding, you could be dehydrated, this could be a side effect of medication you're taking, or drugs and alcohol, you could be pregnant and the list goes on. We don't know, and can't diagnose online.

Only a doctor can tell you what's going on, so make an appointment, you won't find actual answers online.

Good luck.

Hormone imbalance, adrenaline stress, anemic, not eating enough, dehydration,.
You have to get a diagnosis before you can figure anything out about what is going on with you.

My car is making a noise, I can guess that its either the fly wheel or the starter. I can't fix it until I get it diagnosed. Same with the human body.

I work in the kitchen at sonic and the A/C wasn't working so we had no air. I was so hot, I was sweating like crazy.. I was pretty much soaked. At one point, I couldn't stand up any longer, I was getting too dizzy so I asked my boss if I could go on break because I knew I was about to pass out. Just as I was done talking to him I started blacking out. I ate some fries and drinked water. 30 minutes later I was feeling better so I got back to work. This happened yesterday. And this kind of thing has happened to me before but why?
I was kind of sick so I have been feeling dehydrated, could that have been the problem? I'm actually always dehydrated..

You may have experienced heat stroke or heat exhaustion.

Jordoni, no matter how many times you post the question, we can't give you a diagnosis. It's not possible to do over the internet.

If you're concerned you'll need to see a doctor. You really really really won't find any answers online.

I don't even know how this happened! I was writing down the question but the manager yelled out my name to get back to work so I exit out of this page. I didn't have time to ask yesterday so I got back on here today to ask. I didn't know it was already posted.. My bad, sorry. This site is being weird

No worries. It happens. After all, computers are just like humans, they make mistakes. Actually, they're worse than humans. ;)

Don't worry about it. I just mentioned it because many people do post the same question over and over again, because they didn't like the answers they got, even though those answers were accurate.

I apologize since that wasn't the case here.
