    I always faint when I am run down, especially after a hot bath for the reasons Junglemum mentioned. It's probably just that. Try to take it easy and if you continue to feel lightheaded then a trip to the GP to check your blood pressure is ok could be worthwhile. Hope you feel better soon

    I have fainted once and that was because i hadnt eaten all day when i was 15. And i came very close to fainting many times when i was pregnant because my blood pressure would suddenly drop.

    hope you're ok. If its a regular thing speak to your GP.
