I'm really tired of this fainting thing. I was out at Whisky with some friends for a birthday and all of a sudden, I felt that horrible icky feeling that I get right before I usually start to break into a cold sweat, go all incoherent, and then faint. So I drank some orange juice, which always helps- I'm not sure why. I didn't faint, but afterwards

do you think it could be a blood sugar issue?

that seems to be something to do with it- since orange juice, which is really sugary, stops me from fainting if I get it quick enough.

But I don't have diabetes- it doesn't happen often enough, and I have no other symptoms at all. I just can't figure out the trigger.

could be something that you'd want to look up information on online like webMD or something and make an appointment to go see your doctor.

I have! This was after I did faint in a restaurant a few months ago. He said he didn't know- that there were things like this that they couldn't explain.
Then when I mentioned my dad was a doctor, he quickly said that I should have an MRI 'just to make sure'.

Maybe he imagined that my dad was going to call him and give him shit.... my dad joked later, "Yeah, the family of doctors always get the WORST health care".

I don't know what to do next. argh.
