A feeling of lightheadedness or dizziness is typically experienced before fainting, which is a momentary loss of consciousness. Paleness and an abrupt change in body temperature may also occur. Sometimes, such a fainting sensation might happen on its own without a loss of consciousness. Faintness is typically brought on by a quick drop in blood pressure, such as that experienced after experiencing emotional distress, or it could be brought on by an extremely low blood sugar level. The occasional episode of fainting without any other symptoms is rarely cause for concern, but if it happens frequently or you experience other symptoms, you should consult a doctor.
CAUTION!
Prolonged unconsciousness
Fainting for a brief period of time without losing consciousness is typically not reason for concern if the person is breathing regularly and recovers consciousness within a minute or two. Get immediate medical assistance if someone in your presence is unconscious for an extended period of time or if their breathing becomes noisy, uneven, or slows down. Place the patient on her stomach as depicted while you wait for emergency assistance to arrive.
FIRST AID FOR FAINTING
How to handle dizziness
if you become dizzy. Until you feel better, sit with your head resting between your knees or, if this is not possible, lie down with your legs lifted.
Managing fainting
To assist someone who has fainted, make sure their breathing is regular first. Lay the person on her back with her legs as high as they can go from her head. Legs can be supported or supported by a chair. Make sure the person gets lots of fresh air and loosen any tight clothing. If you’re inside, open the windows to let fresh air in. Make sure the person is in the shade if you’re outside. It’s crucial that she waits a few minutes after regaining consciousness before attempting to stand up.
