It really sounds like you have a Blood Pressure issue Ella... Have you talked to a doctor about monitoring your BP etc? Your diet sounds reasonably decent, and I can't see the herbals your taking doing that unless you are having an allergic reaction to one of them (my youngest brother eats ANY kind of food with coconut in it, he passes out and sleeps like the dead for 5-6 hours, doc said he was having an unusual allergic reaction to the coconut and to stop eating it, he did, and never had the problem again). So your current problems 'may' be from one of the herbals. I'd still check about having your BP monitored though. Also, when is the last time you had your heart checked out? Sometimes you have to eliminate the more obvious to find the less obvious and passing out/shortness of breath is also a symptom of heart issues. Not to try and scare you but if I were you i'd get checked to eliminate that possibility and then pare down other possibilities as you go till you find the cause.

*edit* EKG's are ok but they don't tell if you have partial blockages etc, you may also want to ask your doctor to run a heart enzyme blood test to see if you may have some muscle damage to your heart that isn't detected. One other thing as well, what is your 02 saturation levels with room air? Things to ask your doc about. *hugs* and I really hope you find out what's wrong (if anything).
