Herbal weight loss pills

I am a 25-year old female who has had several fainting episodes over the past few months. Each time, I had been asleep for a few hours and got up quickly. A visit to my family doctor revealed nothing...all tests came back normal. I finally realized that with every episode, I had taken an herbal appetite suppressant that morning. After doing some research, I learned certain ingredients in these pills can cause irregular heart beats. (I would get palpatations when taking these pills.) Do you think this is a possible cause for fainting?? I feel fine just before fainting and soon after I come to. I'd appreciate any information you could share with me. Thank you.
