Symptom #5: Syncope

Symptoms of syncope include fainting, apparent loss in muscle strength, loss of consciousness, sweating, lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and pallor. Syncope is typically caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure. This could be due to the heart or blood vessels, orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when sitting up from lying down or standing up from sitting), or a neurally mediated reflex.

While syncope may be a symptom for pulmonary embolism or a blood clot in the lung, it is important to realize that it causes less than 1% of syncope cases.
