What is fainting?
Fainting is a temporary loss of consciousness due to a drop in blood flow to the brain. The episode is brief (lasting less than a couple of minutes) and is followed by rapid and complete recovery. You may feel lightheaded or dizzy before fainting.
A longer, deeper state of unconsciousness is often called a coma.
Alternative Names:
Passed out; Lightheadedness - fainting; Syncope; Vasovagal
