Thank you for the question.
More history, please . . .
Can you describe these "fainting spells"? Circumstances, the seven attributes of a symptom. You know the drill.
it could be the medicaton she’s on. I took blood pressure meds for a short time and fainted almost every time I tried to stand up too fast…needless to say, they got flushed down the toilet
