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).

Caught On Tape: Fainting Goats Aug 27, 2003 8:06 pm US/Eastern (CBS) They're some of Tennessee's best-known creatures: the fainting goats of Marshall County. Like any proud parent, farmer Gene McNutt says his "kids" have a hidden talent - and it's unique enough that the county has built an entire festival around it. The Goats, Music and More Festival is expected to bring throngs to the area the weekend of October 11th. McNutt says the condition that causes his goats to become stiff-legged and keel over doesn't hurt the animals, but it has made them a tourist attraction. Whenever they're startled the goats just drop and, after a few minutes on the ground, eventually regain their equilibrium.

Temporary loss of consciousness is a result of a temporary reduction in the blood flow (and, therefore, oxygen) to the brain. This can lead to lightheadedness or a "black out" episode of loss of consciousness. There are many conditions which can temporarily impair the brain's blood supply. What conditions cause temporary loss of consciousness? Temporary loss of consciousness can be caused by heart conditions and conditions that do not directly involve the heart.

According to a Dutch researchers, a combination of leg crossing and muscle tensing may help prevent fainting, providing a simple solution for people prone to fainting during emotional stress or prolonged standing. The study, published in Monday's rapid access issue of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association , is the first of its kind to document the effectiveness of leg-crossing to prevent or delay loss of consciousness. Vasovagal syncope, or fainting, results from a neurological reflex that originates in the brain. In response to a physical or emotional trigger, the brain emits signals that cause blood vessels to dilate and causes blood to pool in the legs. The heart rate also slows. As a result, the brain does not receive enough oxygen-carrying blood, leading to fainting. SURVEY Are you prone to fainting?

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.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Orgasms Coming and fainting: Is it possible to pass out from an orgasm? Originally Published: May 03, 2002 / Updated on: January 16, 2004 Dear Alice, I have a question. I just heard that a woman can faint while having an orgasm and if so, is this normal? What causes this? Dear Reader, Another explanation is that the brain doesn't receive enough oxygen and other nutrients because of reduced blood flow. This happens because sexual arousal causes blood to flow from the brain to the genitals. This may produce an altered state of awareness or, some say, a true loss of consciousness. Some people intentionally deprive the brain of oxygen to heighten sexual pleasure and orgasm. This practice of auto-erotic asphyxiation Fainting after orgasm could also be a symptom of a serious health condition, such as an abnormal heart rhythm. During daily activities, people with this condition may feel fine. However, when they exert themselves during exercise or sexual activity, their heart can't maintain adequate blood pressure. When the exertion ends, their heart rate decreases, but the blood vessels from the muscles remain dilated, causing them to feel faint or pass out. If fainting happens to someone you know, or to a partner, laying flat is usually all that is needed to recover. Raising the person's legs can increase blood flow to the brain and to the heart. Once the person comes to and feels better, slow movements towards an upright position will help her or him get on her or his feet. To be safe, it's a good idea for anyone who repeatedly has these fainting "spells" to talk with her or his health care provider.
