Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Fainting (Syncope) Fainting (Syncope) August 23, 2001 (Reviewed: May 1, 2003) Question I keep feeling I am going to faint, or that I am lightheaded. It always seems to happen when I'm on the computer. I am 63 years old. My friends say it is due to lack of sleep - do you think this is correct? I've had my eyes tested and they are fine. Answer Syncope (pronounced sing'-koh-pee) is the medical term for fainting. Syncope is the sudden loss of consciousness or near fainting, due to lack of sufficient blood and oxygen to the brain. It can occur with or without warning. Fainting, or lightheadedness, can occur with or without warning, as an isolated event, or frequently over time. Some causes of syncope are relatively harmless, and others can be life-threatening. Cardiac causes of syncope can be among the most serious. One of the most common heart-related causes is an abnormal heart rhythm (an arrhythmia), where the heart beats too slowly, too rapidly or too irregularly to pump enough blood to key parts of the body, including the brain. Other causes of fainting include some neurological disorders, stress, and causes as obvious as standing up too fast or being in a hot room. Sometimes a medication you are taking, or lack of fluids (dehydration) can be responsible. These factors contribute to making syncope difficult to diagnose.

The Fainting Soul Revived A Sermon (No. 3510) Published on Thursday, May 4th, 1916. Delivered by C. H. SPURGEON, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington. I. WITH THE BACKSLIDER. Such, too, was Jonah's blank forgetfulness, that he does not appear to have thought upon his God all the while the storm raged, Though I have tried thus to reach the backslider, it is likely enough that I have missed my mark, honest as my intention has been. Oh! it seems so dreadful that any of you should perish in your sins, who know the way of hope! Some of you were candled on the knees of piety. There are those now in heaven who look down upon you, and could they weep, you might feel their tears dropping on your brow. You know very well that time was when the hope of a better world yielded you some kind of comfort and joy. You do not think, at any rate, that you were feigning piety then, but you did account yourself, a sinner. By the compassion of the Most High, by the love of God, I pray you stop! Do not drink the cup of devils after having drank the cup of the Lord, and give not that soul to damnation which once seemed to bid fair for salvation. Eternal life is too rich a prize to trifle with. May the Spirit of God do what I cannot. May he send home these things to the persons for whom they are intended. his soul is ready to faint within him. Now I hope some of you will be brought to feel this faintness.

Treatment and prevention Edited By: Kenneth M. Stein M.D., FACC Next Page Visit The Arrhythmia Center Visit The Blood Pressure Center Summary Also known as fainting , syncope (SIN-cuh-pee) is a brief, sudden loss of consciousness. It is a symptom of an underlying cause or condition, not a disease itself. Syncope may be due to harmless causes, or it may be due to more serious underlying cardiovascular or neurologic conditions. In patients with heart disease, the possibility that a fainting spell may have been due to an abnormal heart rhythm ( arrhythmia ) needs to be carefully considered. Therefore, patients with heart disease (and, indeed, anyone) should inform their physician of any episodes of fainting or near-fainting as soon as possible after the event.

FAINTING: WHAT CAUSES IT What causes fainting? Fainting, which is also called syncope, can be related to many different things. More than one thing may be the cause of fainting. Sometimes a specific cause for fainting can't be found. Fainting is common. Although it usually isn't serious, fainting can make you worry, and it can lead to injuries from falling at the time of fainting. Fainting can happen when not enough oxygen flows through your blood and into your brain. You lose consciousness, or "pass out", for a very brief time of just a few minutes. A sudden drop in your blood pressure can cause you to faint. Sometimes your heart rate and blood vessels can't react fast enough when your body's need for oxygen changes. This is very common among older people. It can happen when: You stand up fast. You work or play hard, especially if it's very hot. You begin to breathe too fast or too deeply (called hyperventilating).

Understanding Post-Flight Fainting Irvine - July 14, 2000 - Fainting after extended bed rest or by astronauts after space flight may be caused by changes in the levels of a molecule known for its role in regulating blood pressure, a UC Irvine College of Medicine research team has found. The study is the first to identify the molecule nitric oxide as a factor in controlling blood pressure in different parts of the body when adapting to the Earth's gravity; most current research instead focuses on other chemicals that control pressure. If the findings work in humans, they could result in improved treatments for fainting spells that are often experienced by patients after long periods of bed rest and by astronauts returning from space. The findings appear in the July issue of the Journal of Applied Physiology. Prolonged bed rest or extended exposure to low gravity during space flight often results in fainting spells, caused by changes in the way blood pressure is regulated in the body. When standing on Earth, blood pressure is usually higher in the feet than in the head; various chemicals work to constrict blood vessels in the feet, forcing more blood to flow to the brain.

The Basics Symptoms Prevention What Is Fainting? Fainting, also called syncope (pronounced SIN-ko-pe), is a sudden, brief loss of consciousness and posture caused by decreased blood flow to the brain. Many different conditions can cause fainting. These include heart problems such as irregular heart beat, seizures, panic or anxiety attacks, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and problems with how the nervous system (the body's system of nerves) regulates blood pressure. Some types of fainting seem to run in families. While fainting may indicate a particular medical condition, sometimes fainting may occur in an otherwise healthy individual. Fainting is a particular problem for the elderly, who may suffer serious injuries from falls when they faint. Most episodes of fainting are very brief; in most cases, the individual who has fainted regains complete consciousness within just a few minutes. Fainting is a common problem, accounting for 3% of emergency room visits and 6% of hospital admissions. Fainting can happen in otherwise healthy people. A person may feel faint and lightheaded (presyncope) or lose consciousness (syncope). What Causes It?

STUDY FINDS DRINKING 16 0Z. OF WATER MAY HELP PREVENT FAINTING AFTER DONATING BLOOD OR STANDING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME BACKGROUND According to a report presented at the American Heart Association's 56th Annual High Blood Pressure Research Conference, drinking about 16 ounces of water may help prevent healthy people from fainting due to standing for long periods of time or after donating blood. The study was conducted because each year around 150,000 people faint or experience near fainting after blood donations and many of those people never give blood again. Fainting can also occur in healthy people after prolonged standing, especially in a warm environment. Researchers at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville Tenn. conducted their study using tilt-table testing. In this test, a person lies on a bed-like platform parallel to the floor. The bed is then tilted upward so the head is above the feet and the subject is at a 60-degree angle, two-thirds of the way between lying flat and standing upright. On the first round of testing, one of two randomized groups drank 16 ounces of water five minutes prior to tilting and the other didn't. On the second round, the two groups switched, with the water drinkers going without and the nondrinkers consuming water. The two tests were done on separate days.

Contact Us Signs and Symptoms Fainting (Syncope) / Dizziness Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment Explanation Causes Diagnosis Treatment What is syncope, and is it common? Syncope (fainting) is common during childhood. In one medical study, almost 50 percent of interviewed college students claimed to have fainted at least once in their lifetime. Despite its high frequency, syncope generates a great deal of anxiety among patients and their caregivers, predominantly because of the fear that people with syncope are at risk for sudden death. Return to Top Syncope causes Syncope is caused by a sudden decrease in blood pressure, which temporarily deprives the brain of a sufficient amount of oxygen. Dizziness often occurs before syncope and many patients complain of dizziness without syncope. Syncope has a variety of causes. Occasionally, syncope is caused by a neurologic problem such as a seizure or migraine headache. Other non-cardiac causes of syncope include breath-holding spells, rapid breathing (hyperventilation), hysteria, and exposure to certain drugs or toxins.

Search our site: Services Topics Find a doctor Calendar of Events Top of page ... Go Back Health Information from The Basics Symptoms Prevention What Is Fainting? Fainting is a common problem, accounting for 3% of emergency room visits and 6% of hospital admissions. Fainting can happen in otherwise healthy people. A person may feel faint and lightheaded (presyncope) or lose consciousness (syncope). What Causes It? Fainting may have a variety of causes. A simple faint, also called a vasovagal attack or neurally-mediated syncope, is the most common type of fainting. It is most common in children and young adults. A vasovagal attack happens because blood pressure drops, reducing circulation to the brain and causing loss of consciousness. Typically an attack occurs while standing and is frequently preceded by a sensation of warmth, nausea, lightheadedness, and visual "grayout." If the syncope is prolonged, it can trigger a seizure. You may suffer from a simple faint due to anxiety, fear, pain, intense emotional stress, hunger, or use of alcohol or drugs. Most people who suffer from simple fainting have no underlying heart or neurological (nerve or brain) problem.
