What is Syncope and collapse ?
Syncope (pronounced "cinkopy") is the medical term for fainting or fainting. It occurs when the amount of blood flowing to the brain is suddenly and temporarily reduced. In most cases, fainting is caused by harmless, short-term causes.
Fainting may occur when:
- Blood pressure drops sharply.
- Decreased heart rate.
- Changes in the blood volume of a part of the body.
- If you lose consciousness, you will probably regain consciousness and wake up in a few seconds or minutes. However, it can get confusing and tiring for a while. Full recovery can be achieved in minutes or hours.
- Often people feel that an episode of fainting is imminent. Feeling light-headed, nauseous, and heart palpitations (irregular heartbeats that feel like "chattering" in your chest).
- Sit or lie down with your legs up.
- Make a fist with your hand.
- Squeeze and tighten your arms.
- Cross your legs or bring your thighs together.
The most common symptoms of fainting are:

Fainting or fainting occurs when there is not enough blood flowing to the brain. There are many causes, depending on the type of fainting. Many people have diseases that they may or may not know affect the nervous system or the heart. You may also have a condition that affects blood flow in your body and causes your blood pressure to drop when you change positions (for example, from lying down to standing).
If you pass out, follow these steps:
- Check if you're breathing.
- Make sure you lie down or sit with your head between your knees for at least 10-15 minutes.
- Make the person drink cold water.
- Treatment options depend on the cause of fainting and the results of evaluation and testing. The goal of treatment is to save you from fainting.
