Lightheaded/Faint Feeling - Anyone Else?

I’ve never actually fainted but often feel like I am going to faint. Wondering if anyone else has similar symptoms and has any thoughts on what is causing it. It’s been going on for a couple of years on and off and in that time I’ve had plenty of blood tests (and a pregnancy/birth) and nothing has been detected. Sometimes I think it’s anxiety as I feel like worse in a shop where there is a lot of visual stimulation and I need to get out. Sometimes I feel like it might be due to not having enough food. Although I feel like I eat a lot. I had a large dinner last night and this morning I had two pieces of peanut butter toast at 7.30am, two oat/chocolate cookies at 9am and a large handful of nuts (plus four glasses of water within this time) and at 10am while out at playgroup with my baby I felt faint until I ate something. I am still breastfeeding at the moment. Sometimes I also feel like sleep deprivation is causing an off balance feeling. Ultimately I don’t know what is causing it which is frustrating me but it’s getting to a point where I am becoming worried about going out alone with my little ones in case I do actually faint.

I'm assuming you've had your blood pressure checked and it's all normal? Have you had your urine tested? My first two thoughts would be low blood pressure and diabetes but I'd imagine those would have been the GP's too!
