Hi,
Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, there is likely possibility of syncope.
Sudden black out and fainting is a part of syncope.

There are different causes for it -
1) Postural hypotension : fall in blood pressure on standing may cause similar symptoms.
It may be due to medicine for blood pressure or due to autonomic neuropathy.

2) Cardiac arrhythmia : Abnormal electrical activity of heart. It may be due to heart disease electrolyte abnormalities, Degenerative changes in conduction system of heart.

3) TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) : Transient decreases in blood supply to brain due to occlusion in blood vessels may cause similar complaints.
