What happens when you faint?!
Question: I'm trying to write the sequal to one of my stories, and my narrater faints, and I have to describe what happens, but I've never fainted before. So I have a few questions.
Do you know when you're just about to faint, right before it happens?
What do you see, if you see anything?
What does it feel like before you come back, before you open your eyes, but you can hear voices?
Are the voices muffled?
Are you dizzy when you come back?
Can you faint again, right after that?
In general, what does it feel like, the entire time?
In general, please describe it.
Additional: My character faints from shock, and over-reactive emotions, it appears.
She never completely got over the loss of someone EXTREMELY close to her.
She'd been suffering insomnia for weeks beforehand.
She'd just come to realize a lot of things through a letter. Important things.
She'd also come to realize her feelings for someone a little before she fainted. What her feelings were, she didn't like.

What about Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fainting
It seems to me as if it answers all or most of your questions!
