Pale Face
When a person faints, they lose consciousness for a short time due to the brain not receiving enough oxygen. After coming round, individuals can feel normal fairly quick, although some may feel ill for a while.
One symptom that sometimes occurs alongside fainting is a pale face. Just before passing out a person's face may appear as though it has completely drained of blood, which has some truth to it. The paleness may be the result of a decreased blood supply to the skin.
