Definitely ebola

Oh good, you're back

I was never gone.

OP, get thee to a cardiologist and/or neurologist and get this checked out. My dad had something similar with a few episodes of passing out, but he was always fine after and while he was trying to figure it out with his docs he wasn't overly concerned. Then it happened again in February and he suffered a massive brain injury when his head hit the pavement. This led to brain surgery (bleed got worse a week after the injury), three months in a hospital, a month in an assisted living facility, and two months of being home-bound while receiving intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Amazingly, he's now made almost a complete recovery.

Passing out is no joke. It just takes one time to fall the wrong way to change your life forever.

Didn't scroll the entire thread but I had a similar issue, I was diagnosed with Neuromediatehypotension, in a nutshell low blood pressure and low heart rate. I cut my caffeine intake, increased sodium intake, usually gatorade, and take one of those tiny aspirins a day. Haven't had an issue in over 3 years

prior to the changes, how often did it occur?

It happened about 5 times over a period of 15 years or so. One thing i forgot to add, drinking more water was also part of the doctor's orders
