You know, I was a fainter when I was little. I would suddenly see spots and pass out cold for a few minutes -- several times at school, at church and at summer camp. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason, but my doctors over the years theorized that maybe I hadn't had enough to eat at the time, and had low blood sugar, or I'd been standing up for a long period of time or something. As an adult, I've fainted twice, and they were both occasions when I had food poisoning -- once in college and once just last year. (I did nearly faint last year when I had an incident with scissors here at the EmpowHer office, but Michelle saved me by holding a cold soda can to the back of my neck.)
I'm sure our experts will look at your question in more depth. Just wanted you to know that I was a childhood fainter, for some unknown reason, and I turned out okay.....
