The other day I fainted on my way to work.
I was reading the newspaper waiting for
the train to come. All of sudden I felt
nauseous and then like I was going to
faint - my heart was beating fast, I was
sweating, my vision was going blurry. A
few minuets later I woke up to my
boyfriend and a stranger standing over me
telling me I had fainted i've only
fainted one other time in my life - and
that was from sunstroke. This is
definitely not the case this time - as
it's the middle of winter! I'm racking
my brain trying to figure out what would
have caused me to faint. On a seperate,
but maybe not unrelated note - i've had
irregular periods lately - despite being
on the pill - missed a few months, had
period spotting, etc.
I would be appreciative of any thoughts on
what could have caused this fainting
spell.

First, have a pregnancy test, the pill
isn't 100% safe!!
Second, take an iron supplement.
Third, talk to your dr it sounds like the
pill you're on isn't "right" for you. If
you're taking it regularly then you
shouldn't be spotting, much less fainting.
