In classic Hollywood films, fainting is usually portrayed with dramatic flair. Overcome with shock, an actress will put the back
In real life, however, shock and stress aren’t the only triggers of fainting, or vasovagal syncope .
“While it is true that extreme pain, intense emotion, the sight of blood, or even straining yourself during a bowel movement are common triggers of vasovagal syncope, fainting could also be caused by an underlying medical condition,” says, from the Section of Cardiology of the top hospital in the Philippines, Makati Medical Center . “Fainting per se is harmless and doesn’t require medical treatment. It becomes a cause for concern when it happens with no trigger, or when you faint often.
“Fainting can happen to anyone at any time,” declares Dr. Zarza-Geron. “If you feel you are about to faint, sit or lie down and elevate your legs to let the blood flow to your brain. If you can’t lie down, sit and put your head between your legs. When you feel better, drink some water, eat something, and make sure to get fresh air. If you think your fainting is caused by an underlying issue or if you frequently pass out without triggers, seek medical help as soon as possible.
