I blacked out standing up one time and fell and hit my forehead on the bricks of the fireplace. That was no fun but nothing broken thankfully, just a few stitches.

Stopped smoking and took up vaping . Vaping is a big lie. Just as dangerous as smoking

I once had a brief dizzy spell on a steep climb. Pretty unnerving. Talked to the doc about it some months later. He said "Did you think to get off and walk?" 
Subsequent tests didn't come up with any culprit. Best wishes to OP.

I blacked out after peeing, woke up staring at a hub cap. went down twisting my leg and awarded myself with a spiral fracture of the femur. at least I was all zipped up & dry. TMI? anyway, turns out it’s a thing, cuz I met another guy that it happened to in the privacy of his home. but he didn’t break his leg. I’ll never drink grappa again. at least not after drinking all day & night as a night cap
