Cause #4: Medicine
It’s no secret that the majority of medications carry with them some sort of side effects. One of the more serious side effects that can result from medication are fainting spells.
It’s quite common for people to experience dizziness or queasiness from medication. In many cases, these problems are caused by a reduction in blood pressure. If this blood pressure loss is not identified and managed properly, it can deprive the brain of oxygen and cause someone to faint.
The most common types of drugs that are known to cause fainting include antidepressants and drugs that directly affect blood pressure. Anti-allergens are also known to cause fainting.
