Why am I fainting?

[D646]

i am wondering what is going on...
I have random dizzy spells that sometime turn into be fainting.
It has happened since high school and I am now 24.
I can feel when they are coming on. I get all light headed and dizzy, sometimes I feel nauseous. I feel really "heavy", sometimes I hear a ringing in my ear, and other times it feels like I have my ears plugged.
I have fainted a about 5 times in 6 years. I do completly black out, not for too long, when I come to I am shaky and sweaty and feel "heavy".
This is starting to scare me....

Besides this problem I have contsant nausea, but the doc has givin me medication to stop the nausea which is really helping.

Can someone help me please?

Although am not a health professional at least in these forums, but reading your posts D646, I feel you are on pretty high dosage of antidepressants. These in turn stimulates your appetite, which automatically triggers insulin release, the brain anticipating that the food is coming.
May be, the cause of your fainting is that you are not eating enough & get hypoglycemic episodes. You did mention that one of the doctors treating you found you to be anemic. That strengthens the reasoning.

What sort of testing has the doctor done?  As with most things medical, if your problem is not resolving, either go back, or see another doctor to see if a fresh pair of eyes on the situation can help.
