HI

Thanks for your post .

Black outs with loss of conscious has to be taken seriously . It indicates that there is some problem which needs to be evaluated .

Some common causes are problems in heart , brain , reduced blood supply to brain . You need to get certain tests to know what is the cause of your problems .

I advise you to get EKG , Carotid and vertebral artery Doppler, and revert back with reports .

Don't neglect and delay getting tested.

Any further clarifications feel free to ask .
Happy to answer.
