After Amy Winehouse fainted on Monday, doctors have been puzzled as to the cause of her blackout. Winehouse, who suffers from an eating disorder, crack and heroin addiction and debilitating alcoholism recently underwent tests at a hospital where doctors concluded she had a chest infection and an irregular heartbeat. What could cause an irregular heartbeat? It certainly couldn't be the mass quantities of amphetamines the snorts, injects and sprinkles on her rice cakes (then vomits up because of her eating disorder), could it?

The Daily Mail reports, "A close friend said: 'Doctors are still struggling to control her heartbeat but the chest condition has been really worrying them. She'd been suffering horrible coughing fits and hurling up blood for a while but refused to be examined. Doctors are doing more tests to be certain. The last thing she needs is to be wheeled on stage. She needs a rest.'"

So Winehouse fans, the mystery continues. If you can uncover the mystery of why Winehouse blacks out, please let us know!
