Im 17,Couple of days ago I nearly fainted all I did was go to let the dog in and quickly felt nauseous so I started walking towards the bathroom.I got extremely dizzy, weak, and started sweating like I ran a marathon.I couldn't hold myself up and fell to the bathroom floor but I didn't hit anything. I felt so out of it it was terrible no one was home so I had to focus and try to call my mom I don't remember what I told her but she flew home and I stood on the phone with her.she took me to the hospital by then I was okay just pale and tired. They ran all kinds of test even EKG, my heart murmer wasnt causing it either,but they said I was fine and it's normal for 15-22 yr olds to faint.which I don't understand how but okay. They gabe me IV and fluids just in case but I wasnt dehydrated I drink lots of water, and I ate 3 meals. I don't go out in the heat I hate it so idk why I got that way.now since then I've been getting headaches and feeling exhausted idk why.my mom has heart problems and my family has a lot of medical problems so I'm worried I do too.Can anyone tell me what I should do?

I think you need to try to relax and see if it is a one time occurrence or will happen again, hopefully it will happen somewhere more populated or with someone you are familiar with like mom.  Have you made a follow up appointment with your family doctor?  If not that is the first place to start and they can do blood tests, refer you to other tests or doctors if need be but for now just relax as much as you can.  Hope this helps
