Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are 93 and sudden onset fainting at this age should be investigated properly. This can’t be ignored. You should visit a doctor for help. ECG should be done to rule out cardiac cause. Imaging of brain should be done to rule out any brain causes. Through there should be no serious thing but you should visit a doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
