Ep018 Fainting: What’s Really Happening?

Ever seen someone suddenly collapse and wonder why? It might look dramatic, but fainting—or syncope—is more than just a fall. It’s the body’s way of responding to a temporary loss of oxygen to the brain.

In this episode, we cover:

• What causes fainting and why it happens so quickly
• The signs and symptoms to watch for before someone collapses
• Why the body puts itself on the ground and how to respond safely
• The latest first aid guidelines—including what NOT to do

Fainting can happen to anyone—but knowing how to manage it can make all the difference.
