      Wait for them to wake up, or try to wake them up, or take them to safety.

   Why? Did this happen to you? I have fainted several times, but I can tell when it's about to happen and can sit down. The person should wake up in a few seconds and you can ask what they need.

   First, you relax. Second, don't panic. Do the rest, as others are advising.
   
   FYI. Mouth to mouth, is the first aid, you may give, if you are trained in that and know how to offer this little help--depending on the condition of the lady, situation in which the person is, etc..

   I would check wrist to see if she was wearing an alert bracelet, check her pulse and maybe go into the womans purse to see if she had a cell phone. If she didn't rouse after all that, then I would be requesting passerby to call 911 or ask to use their cell phone for an emergency. No passerby then I guess I would run into the nearest shop and call 911.

   I've had this happen, actually. The lady beside me was my best friend. I managed to catch her & drag her into the nearest restaurant, where they supplied me w/a chair to put her in. We called 911 & her parents (but we were in NYC at the time, so communication wasn't a problem!)
   I'm a fainter, too, unfortunately. I have some genetic condition that causes my BP to bottom out if I get too hot (definitely) or anxious (allegedly) & I pass out cold. I can usually feel when it's coming on now, so I can fight it. At first it was very disarming, however.
   I'd recommend getting the person into a safe & comfy position & possibly getting them cooled down some (if it's particularly warm they, too, might have the condition I do.) Fresh air's never a bad thing.

      for the people who faint frequently.. please take care of your health... Eat lot of fruits and water.. And please don't do dieting because its the first cause for fainting..
