What Causes Fainting Spells?

This article explains the causes and treatment of fainting spells. The brain has long been recognized as the centre of all our cognitive abilities, and even more importantly, it is the seat of consciousness. This organ is what gives us awareness of our surroundings and whatever interferes with its proper function, even for a few seconds can lead to a total loss of consciousness which is what gives rise to it

What are fainting spells?

These are periods when a person experiences a sudden and temporary loss of consciousness, at this time the brain is shut down briefly leading to a loss in the function of all the sensory organs. The sufferer falls down as vision and speech become impaired even for few minutes after regaining consciousness.

It is also known as syncope, are treated as medical emergencies as this near-dead experience could be a sign of a very serious health condition.  If you experience syncope regularly, then you should seek medical attention urgently.

Causes of fainting spells

 •    Low oxygen levels:

The most immediate cause of fainting is a drop in oxygen levels reaching the brain. This happens may be due to poor blood circulation, heart or lung problems, and carbon monoxide poisoning in some cases. Fainting is actually initiated by the brain as a protective measure to shut down vital body functions till normal oxygen level is restored. This is very critical, as you can be brain dead if there is a shortage of oxygen supply to the brain for a few minutes.

•    Medical conditions:

Certain medical conditions can also cause it, these include diabetes, heart diseases and carotid sinus syndrome which affects the carotid artery that supplies blood to the brain. Dehydration is also a common cause of fainting as an acute shortage of body fluid can adversely affect blood pressure and the amount of oxygen reaching the brain.

•    Drugs:

Medications that have an effect on blood pressure and function of organs such as the heart and kidneys can cause fainting in some people, such drugs include diuretics, beta-blockers and anti-hypertensive drugs. Talk to your doctor about the likely effect of such drug prescriptions.

•    Alcohol:

Large volumes of alcohol in the body system can affect blood pressure and have an immediate effect on brain function. This explains why people begin to feel drowsy and can even pass out after consuming too much alcohol.

Treatment for fainting spells

Treatment measures usually depend on the main cause of the condition and some very common treatments include:

•    Medications:

If the fainting spells occur as a result of an underlying health condition, drugs can be prescribed to treat the condition and stop the fainting spells. You should talk to a doctor about these drugs and their likely side effects.

•    Home remedies:

In case of emergencies, certain helpful measures can be taken to help a person regain consciousness, these include; putting a person in a lying position and raising their legs to promote blood flow to the brain. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is also a technique that is performed to initiate normal breathing in the patient while awaiting medical attention.

•    Herbal medicine:

There are several herbal medicines available for promoting healthy heart function and proper blood circulation. These are recommended because of their natural effect in normalizing blood pressure without leaving adverse side effects.

•    Blood circulation machine:

Regular use of the blood circulation machine can be very effective in maintaining optimal oxygen supply levels to the brain. This machine also has the added benefit of helping you maintain a good all-around health.
