since then I have followed the advice
of several web sites in voiding situations that
cause the
fainting. For me it could be most prolonged bodily stress (a hot room, even while eating at restaurants, shock etc). If you feel bodily uncomfortable, it's best to lie down with your knees raised. In the last 6 years, I've only had 3 episodes, (2 of them in one night), and all 3 were due to a high fever and food poisoning.
