For the past 5 years I have been very prone to fainting especially when I stand for long periods of time or if it's really hot out. I have a healthy bmi, i eat and exercise right and am overall a very healthy person. Sometimes I don't actually faint but I get very light headed, i lose my hearing for a few seconds, I get tunnel vision and it's hard to concentrate on anything else. I went to an ent (ears, nose and throat) specialist to see if i had an inner ear infection, which i dont.. he told me to get heart tests done. i am only 18 and would like some insight on to this matter please. if anyone can diagnose this i would greatly appreciate it. i dont want to go to the doctor for more tests as i dont have very good health insurance and cant afford to miss work. thanks.
