gutted! can't go to the gym until doc's figure out why I keep passing out.looking for support pls

Try going for long walks in the meantime and really monitoring your diet! That way you're not putting yourself at risk with strenuous activity but are still actively working towards health and weight loss. You can do this! Hope they figure out what's causing the fainting spells soon!

My daughter had a slight fainting problem for years, told it was related to hormones. After passing out at the gym, went to a different doctor who took her symptoms seriously and sent her to a cardiologist. The Cardiologist is looking at us like our hometown Dr. must be crazy (she was 20 at the time), but he ordered testing and she was diagnosed with Neuro-Cardiogenic Syncope. Has something to do between the heart pumping fast and the brain over-reacting and sending message to stop! (Look up for more accurate terminology) She was put on Prozac which helped a little bit.. She took herself off. Make sure you get enough sodium. She eats vegan and has to supplement with Gatorade when she gets shaky. Walking may be better because it is usually up and down movements that cause the fainting. Also, found out that she had mitral valve prolapse which is nothing serious unless you get a serious infection.

I'm going to second a trip to cardiology. I had an asymptomatic myxoma that was discovered after I fainted out of nowhere - two days after my annual physical showed nothing.
