During my trip to Norfolk I managed to collect several of the things that can make you feel light headed, by accident. On the day that I helped my brother in the woods I didn't have a proper lunch (low blood sugar). While he was waving a chainsaw around as effortlessly as a conductor's baton I didn't want to admit what a wimp I was so I worked myself hard with the hedge trimmer (Exhaustion) and built up a proper sweat (Dehydration). We hadn't taken any water with us, and when he bought me a pint (Diuretic, Vasodilator) to say thankyou I forgot to drink any water. We got home filthy and tired so I relaxed in a hot bath (Vasodilator). When I stood up (Postural Hypotension) I very nearly fainted. I ended up feeling thoroughly unwell, crawling on the bathroom floor with tunnel vision and ringing ears.
Thankfully there was a fainting couch just a few steps outside the bathroom door. I relaxed there while they brought me ghetto isotonic drinks and I made a full recover before tea was served.
