My brother is fainting - help appreciated !

tons of things can trigger fainting
This is not correct. Fainting does not just happen, it is the result of something interfering with proper neurological or cardiac function. Something is hurting your brother.
he never experienced any heart problem so far
Irrelevant, a patient with no history of a condition can still develop it.
he practice sport a lot.
Irrelevant.

Have you tried replacing the salt he lost during his illness? Check his blood pressure.

No not yet. Loss of sodium can cause that ?

Vaxxed??

@Harlock stop with the methylene blue man. It's far from a cure-all, and can have bad consequences if over-dosed.
Progest-E IS the cure-all that can help. He needs to stop all exercise, and frequently replenish his blood sugar. Helping the liver is paramount.
I would try:
quart of skim milk a day
Aspirin dissolved in warm liquid with some baking soda (250g 3 x a day)
corn kernel sized dollop of progesterone before bed
frequent eating
total lack of exercise (duh)
cleaning up major pollutants in diet and environment (the former being easier than the latter) -
@Harlock Low sodium can cause low blood pressure which can cause fainting. Low blood sugar can do the same.
Might be a good idea to see a doctor just to run some basic tests.

Check out mskneurology.com - he might have nerve entrapment/irritation in multiple places affecting the ANS.
Check for winging scapula also. Could indicate TOS or something else.But surely, something is probably also causing nerve swelling/irritation because of his diet/environment. Make sure he's not sleeping next to a wall where anything is charging or powering on a lamp/whatever. Moving his bed might also help. You could eventually see where a pet might prefer to sleep and move his bed there. Is what I'd do before investing in expensive equipment to find out.
I dont agree that he should stop all exercise, but should prob stick to walks for a while and then add some weight lifting eventually.

My dad fainted a few days ago out of the blue one evening.
He is in generally good health. Active. Not vaxxed.
My only gripe about his diet is he drinks almond milk instead of dairy because some doctor told him it was "better".
Having a few test done. His blood pressure was fine (mom took it right after). Thinking low blood sugar maybe?
He is fairly stubborn. Will be hard to convince him to take daily aspirin and progesterone.
