Hello Jessica! Thank you so much for posting your question. I had a friend who was a distance runner and if he missed a meal due to being sick or too busy to eat he would also sometimes pass out. I think it was due to his having like 2% body fat or something and his strenuous workouts combined with lack of food.
I agree with alysiak and her thoughts about your diet and nutrition. I was wondering too if you are eating enough before you work out.
I'd definitely make an appointment with your doctor as soon as you can to discuss this. It might be just a matter of eating more/better before you work out, or it might be a low blood sugar issue or an inner ear issue too. The fact that your ears hurt when you work out makes me wonder if you do have something going on in your ears that would explain both the near-fainting and the pain.
Please post again and let us know what your physician says. Best in health to you, M
