At the very earliest signs of dizziness which you feel might escalate to a fainting spell, lay on your back and elevate your legs as far above your head as possible. Basically, lay next to a wall and use the wall to support your elevated legs. I do this on a regular basis and it will keep you from fainting if you do it quick enough.
