Answer 1

fainting

Fainting (syncope) is the partial or complete loss of consciousness with interruption of awareness of oneself and ones surroundings. When the loss of consciousness is temporary and there is spontaneous recovery, it is referred to as syncope or, in nonmedical terms, fainting. Syncope accounts for one in every 30 visits to an emergency room. It is pronounced sin-ko-pea.

Syncope is due to a temporary reduction in blood flow and therefore a shortage of oxygen to the brain. This leads to lightheadedness or a "black out" episode, a loss of consciousness. Temporary impairment of the blood supply to the brain can be caused by heart conditions and by conditions that do not directly involve the heart.

Answer 2

People can faint or fall unconscious for many reasons: After strenuous exercise or exertion; because of shock or emotional upset; because of excessive heat or stuffiness; because of the side effects of medicines or drugs

Whatever the cause, fainting occurs when the blood supply to the brain is reduced, leading to dizziness, nausea, a cold sweat and complete or partial loss of consciousness.

This period of unconsciousness is usually brief and people generally make a full recovery within minutes.

There is rarely anything medically significant about a ‘one off’ fainting episode. The real danger lies in victims injuring themselves as they fall. If fainting becomes a regular occurrence, however, you should see your doctor.
