What Could Cause Fainting?

Hello, Thank you for answering my question. On Friday night I went out for a drink with few friends. I had a glass of wine and dinner, 2 hours later we were standing outisde the restaurant and were talking to each other, then I suddenly collapsed and fainted outside the restaurant. I am not sure if it was because I was on a empty stomach?

Hello
You fainted 2 hours after wine and dinner ?
Your idea and mentioned in the query that fainting was due to empty stomach ?
One side you took dinner and wine on another side mentioned that you were on empty stomach . Ambiguous history , please clear it.
Faintness may be due to intoxication by wine or due to hypotension or hypertension , so without detail report it is very difficult to establish any diagnosis .
Hyperglycemia may be one cause ( in your case hypoglycemia ,not a cause because you had dinner ) .
Anemia may be the another reason.
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination will find the exact cause.
Good luck.
I find this answer helpful
