Hello
It seems from the history that you had light headedness and sudden blackouts of vision.
This indicates transient ischaemic attack.
This requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
The common causes are hypotension hypovolemia hypoxia and anemia.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
