    I have those same blackouts, and low blood pressure. When it's happening, put your head between your knees to keep from fainting. Your blood needs to get to your brain. This stops it pretty quickly.

    I once did faint, and hit my head on a metal shelving unit on the way down, giving myself a concussion. I saw stars. I haven't fainted again since learning to put my head below my heart.
