Jbug, has the doctor done a complete physical? There are so many things that can cause fainting.

When they tested you for hypoglecemia (sp?) did they just draw blood or did they do a 4 hour glucose tolerance test? A regular blood draw might not show anything. I'm hypoglycemic. Regular blood draws come back normal on me.

Hamster-bamster gave you some good tips. If you can't lay down and raise your legs, get your head below your heart. Easiest way is to sit with your head between your knees.
