What Is Vasovagal Syncope?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Symptoms
There are some tell-tale signs before syncope actually occurs. In most cases, there is often feeling dizzy, lightheadedness, blurry vision, sweaty palms, nausea, and turning pale. To prevent an episode of syncope, try lying down before fainting occurs.
Fainting is nature’s way of correcting the issue of inadequate blood supply to the brain as the affected individual falls to the ground when they faint. This restores blood flow to the brain and consciousness usually returns fairly quickly.
