Fainting spells?

I have been experiencing fainting/dizzy spells that last like 10 seconds.

Check your blood pressure, especially during the episodes. Sometimes if you are on multiple blood pressure medications (pills), it may drop too much and lead to such. Many other things may be possible as well, so I suggest talking with your doctor and perhaps seeing them for a check-up and assessment of medications.

Another possibility is low pulse or fast irregular pulse. Atrial fibrillation is another possibility.
