Ella, I'm late to the game but how scary! So many of your symptoms sound similar to what I had a few years ago and was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope. It definitely gets worse when you are dehydrated. You may want to look into this / get tested for it. I use salt regularly to keep my blood pressure above 90 (when it drops into the 80s is when I have issues). So far I've been mostly able to manage it naturally.
