Both times I fainted, I had been sleeping and got up too quickly. I've felt fine both before and after passing out. I've convinced myself I have a horrible heart condition. It is simply a matter of having it checked out by a physician who will perform a full history and physical and maybe a holter or event monitor which is simply a continuous recording of your heart rhythm. I hope this information is useful.
