I really have no clue, I'm curious. My brother has diabetes, I have driven with him many times. Wondering if I should stop. LOL.

here's a blurb on this
Vasovagal syncope occurs in response to a trigger, with a corresponding malfunction in the parts of the nervous system that regulate heart rate and blood pressure. When heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, and the resulting lack of blood to the brain causes fainting and confusion.
Typical triggers for vasovagal episodes include:
adrenaline
Random onsets due to nerve malfunctions
Serotonin level / SSRI
