I went to Florida with high temps I 90s and high humidity, may not have had enough water the day before, I have had diarrhea for a week now, so I was eating less so as not to make it worse. One of those mornings I almost blacked out twice.I don’t know what steps to take now, to get rid of it.Thank you, Kathy

Hello,
Diarrhea or blackout may be a seizure disorder or acute fluid loss with hypotension or it may be due to acute gastroenteritis and hypotension. Please consult your physician and get done a stool examination, MRI brain, blood pressure checkup and ECG.
Avoid high risk activities, drink plenty of water and liquids. If symptoms not improved, please consult your physician immediately he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
