In the mean time, get this medical issue figured out. Not dying should take priority over your job. Hopefully it's something simple, but there are very simple things that can cause fainting that can be fatal if not diagnosed (like a pulmonary embolism.) There are ways back to a certificate for just about any corrected diagnosed condition. Lots of hoops to jump through, but definitely doable. It's issues where the FAA doesn't know why you are passing out that they have issues with.

Good luck!
Thanks man for your advice! I am sure it is something simple like "dehydration"... I think it's just an age... Years ago I "drove up side down in formation, breathing dust from the cockpit floor" without any problem and then spent all night in a bar... Today I am fainting because dehydration... It is ridiculous...
