hello, When do you get blackouts, in condition like getting up from sleeping or sitting position, if yes then it's occurs in some individuals due to sudden drop in blood pressure called as Postural hypotension. In such case, needs a behavioural change. If not, then you ll need to undergo some investigation like ecg, Holter monitoring, echocardiography. There can be some familial cardiac causes.
