I’ve had similar experiences but caused by radically different things, both of which required medical interventions. One group of repetitive experiences were epileptic seizures. You mentioned an accident years ago. Did it involve your head? At some point, epilepsy may have been triggered.
My other experience was caused by a pulmonary embolism, but you usually don’t live through too many of these without medical interventions. So I doubt this in your case although I agree with your daughter that you need to get this checked out.

@kajunqueen88 the same questions that @minnesota10 asked were going through my mind! Dehydration is also something to think about. I hate drinking water too, but lately have been forcing myself to drink at least one litre each day - an improvement (in intake only … apparently I still am dehydrated!) - but not enough. You and I are the sort who need to make a conscious effort to drink water. I keep a one litre water bottle with me at all times and keep drinking a little at a time till I have finished the bottle. Sometimes I surprise myself by finishing the water early enough in the day, so I refill the bottle and continue drinking! Once you get into the habit it does get easier to do that!
Also, I just came across another article about vasovagal syncope.
