Hello
It seems from the history that you are having frequent attacks of black outs of vision. These symptoms indicate transient ischemic attack.
The common causes for transient ischemic attacks are hypotension, hypovolemia and vascular diseases decreasing the blood supply to brain.
Hence this requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
