Fainting and Forced Falls
My friend faints now and then, since I have been there to catch her, I have noticed a strange common occurrence. Trying to support her as she falls, her body seems to be forcing her to the ground. She is not limp, nor convulsive. She doesn't just fall into my arms as I gradually ease her to the ground, her body outright forces her to the ground while unconscious.
It does kind of sound like a seizure. She definitely needs to see a doctor and to describe what you've said about her body. If her body is tensed up, then it's more likely a seizure than a faint.
Hello, this could be due to high or low blood pressure.
Advise her to go to see her local GP as it could be a minor or major thing.

Hi and sorry your friend is fainting. This could be due to a variety of things. I would have her go to the doctor. It could be due to high or low blood sugar or blood pressure. It could be related to epilepsy. Those are some common things. I would have her go in to see the doctor right away.
