Near Faint Issue

I was in Tesco with the family on Wednesday and almost fainted - no warning at all and all over in a few secs. Went to the doc, BP fine, blood tests booked next week. Didn't think it was anything sinister and gave me a number of possible reasons. There was no chest pain, just a sort of rushing feeling - very scary. To help any would be advisors:


I have just turned 50
Overweight - can't exercise as much as I'd like due to hip problem
Don't smoke
Drink at weekends
Have irregular heartbeats (since 1998) - went for ablation but they didn't ablate as they found nothing wrong when pacing the heart
Have an excellent job where I am very happy
I am anxious however due to other reasons

Needless to say I am very worried - any pointers ( weight I understand) would be welcomed and I just wondered if any one else has suffered from similar?

Cheers

HR
