Howdy :)
I also have some problems in that area (since 1998) but I have never actually passed out.  The most recent one was a couple of weeks ago when I was looking at the toilet paper in a local (small) supermarket (IGA).  I very nearly passed out that time ... the toilet paper started coming towards me and I knew I wasn't moving at all... I threw myself backwards (unecessarily) and nearly fell on a man walking behind me.  Back when it first started happening I had no idea what it was and neither did all the doctors I was seeing ... it was suggested that I may have low blood pressure but they ruled that out after they did a blood pressure test.  My audiologist (I have a hearing aide in my right ear for conductive hearing problems and my left ear is losing it's hearing too now, she told me yesterday but for no apparent reason) say's that it wouldn't be my ears because vertigo is when the room spins and my room just moves towards me very fast instead, it wouldn't be age related as I am only 36.  I do have balance problems though and have had them all my life shrug.  Good luck in working it out . . . it seems that many people suffer from this 'disorder' that remains unamed.

In regard to the weight loss that's totally great!  I need to lose weight also as I have gained 30 kilo's in six months ... nothing has changed in my life though ... I never excercised very much and I have never eaten very much either. I actually went to a doctor to ask him why this has happened and he just said I have to excercise more and drink less coffee roflmao.  
I have now decided it must be in my genes (overweight aunties on my dads side that were never really overweight until they were over 30) and I am going to have to get off my bum and do some excercise though I am a little limited due to some arthritis in my shoulder and cervical spine but if you would like a weight loss partner I'm sure I could be convinced to join you in the excercises ;)
