This is probably a stupid thing to ask, but i have a friend who faints a lot (well not loads but quite a bit). It was a bit scary the other week cos we were at a Dido concert n she fainted twice and we had to get these men to lift her and then she lost her shoes and its a stupid long story. The thing is that she says its because of heat that she faints, well im worried that it happens when we go on hoilday. She also told me she gets heat stroke (boy am i gonna have a good time). Does anyone know any ways of preventing fainting? Im just scared that its gonna happen a lot.

can she tell when shes bout 2 faint?
but yeah once i had this trip to a microscope place whre they were doing demonstrations and id not had any breakfast, and it was a an hrs journey in a coach or something, and i get travel sick too. and it was hot in there, and we had to stand up loads, so i fainted then, it was horrible! think its a combo of things.
i wouldnt worry about it too much high_angel, theres prob something with yur friend like low bp that makes her faint... or low blood sugar too, like me having had no brekkie and it all combining to make me faint! i wouldnt worry too much high_angel. i,ll stop my waffling now!!
Burn baby burn!
Yeah she can tell when she is going to faint, although she dosent give much warning! I think she just needs to make sure she eats like you say. I've never properly fainted, although once i was on a packed train to Birmingham n had to satnd n i almost fainted my friend had to catch me (embarrasing!)

wot r the other symptoms?
(i shud know this but i dont)

Low blood pressure certainly does this as well, try and take thigs a bit easier and don't get stressed too much .. also if you're lying down and get up too quick it happens like that as well but that's pretty normal .. even i get that !!
Your doc will run diabetes tests because thirstiness and frequent urinating is a sign of diabetes, and other things such as not taking in enough fluid in the first place.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
