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.
