Still feeling dizzy after fainting?

I fainted three hours ago, five minutes before closing time at work. I don't remember much apart from feeling really light-headed, almost like vertigo. Everything was spinning, it felt like the ground was spinning, and then my vision went blurry.

I still feel dizzy now. When I stand up to go to the bathroom, the spinning comes back, but then goes as soon as i sit down. I have ate today and drank plenty of water, is it normal to still feel like this three hours later?

It could have been caused by low blood pressure, when you stand it isn't travelling around your body fast enough which is why it comes back. Tensing your calves, butt and clenching your fists and teeth can help. Water with salt in it or something like Gatorade might help too.
