During the first week of the Paris Olympics , an image of South Korea ’s Kim Ye-ji looking very cool while shooting in the women’s 10 meter air pistol competition went viral on social media.
Speaking of social media, there were claims on it that Kim had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation after her collapse. But there was no evidence that that had actually happened. Yes, it’s shocking that claims on social media were not supported by, you know, facts.Kim apparently suffered what is called syncope, which is a fancier way of saying “passing out” when you want to sound all smart and everything. It happens when not enough blood is going to your brain.
One of the most common types of syncope is vasovagal syncope. It’s when your heart rate and blood pressure drops suddenly so that neither is high enough to keep enough blood flowing to your brain. This can happen after you’ve been standing for a while or going through emotional stress. Such a situation usually is not a big deal as long as it doesn't keep recurring.
Postural syncope is another relatively common type of syncope. It happens when you change position rapidly such as from lying down or sitting to standing and effectively not enough blood stays in or is going into your head. This can be more likely to happen if you are dehydrated or taking particular medications. This can become a bigger issue if it happens repeatedly and in such cases may merit further medical attention.
