Could someone help me translate this?

> ２２歳でこんなことも思い出せない。。。あせる  
>  これから **気が遠い** よ

I think the first sentence is something about being 22 years old and not
remembering well. As for the second sentence, I can only make out "from now
on, feel far" (??).

I am not sure how the second sentence relates to the first one.

What does 気が遠い mean?
気が遠い typically means something like you feel far away, disconnected, swoon due
to mental stress of some kind like it is difficult for you to comprehend what
you are seeing or experiencing or your head is spinning because of sensory
overload. So my guess at what these two sentences mean, absent of more context
is the following:

22 is still young, yet I can't recall even this... It frustrates me. Thinking
about what the future has in store for me makes my head spin.

Basically the person is trying very hard to recall something like this but
just can't, so he/she is frustrated and flustered and it is causing their
brain to hurt trying to recall it.

That's my interpretation at least. 英辞郎 has a lot of different examples of how
気が遠い (in the く form) can be translated.

answer
In this case 気が遠いよ expresses the feeling of helplessness that the narrator
feels. As the above answer states, 気が遠い means to feel faint, but it's not
necessarily meant literally here.

I would translate that whole passage as follows:

"I'm 22, still young, and yet I can't bring this back to mind. This frustrates
me. And thinking about what the future might hold makes me feel faint."

The narrator is only young, but already feels as if she is suffering from the
kind of memory loss associated with elderly people. And this state of affairs
instills a sense of helplessness about how things are going to be for her from
here on in.
