Syncope is a medical term for a temporary loss of consciousness (LOC) caused by a brief interruption of blood flow to the brain. It is commonly known as fainting. Syncope is usually triggered by a sudden drop in blood pressure, which can be caused by various factors such as dehydration, emotional stress, or certain medical conditions.
Recognizing and managing syncope is important to prevent serious injuries that may occur during an episode. If you experience recurrent episodes of syncope, it is crucial to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
