Fainting or syncope is a sudden, temporary loss of consciousness and postural tone due to transient reduction in cerebral blood flow. It is usually followed by spontaneous recovery. When fainting is prolonged or accompanied by cardiovascular failure, it may lead to collapse — a more severe circulatory failure demanding urgent attention.

Causes:

• Cardiovascular: Arrhythmias, heart block, hypotension, shock, heart failure.
• Vasovagal / Reflex: Emotional stress, pain, fear, or standing long in heat.
• Neurological: Seizures, stroke, transient ischemic attack.
• Metabolic: Hypoglycemia, anemia, dehydration.
• Environmental / Miscellaneous: Heat exhaustion, exhaustion, or postural changes.

Symptoms:

• Dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, dim vision.
• Pale face, cold sweat, weak pulse.
• Sudden loss of consciousness, fall to ground.
• On recovery: confusion, weakness, fatigue, or headache.

Complications:

• Injury from fall.
• Severe dehydration or cardiac arrest (rare).
• Recurrence due to underlying systemic disease.

Conventional management focuses on identifying and treating the underlying cause, maintaining hydration and circulation, and in emergencies, restoring consciousness.
Homoeopathy offers gentle, supportive management by restoring circulatory balance, improving nerve vitality, and preventing recurrence.

Homoeopathy treats fainting or collapse by stimulating vital energy, restoring normal circulation, and addressing the constitutional weakness or trigger responsible for loss of consciousness.

The approach focuses on:

• Reviving vitality and improving cerebral blood flow.
• Managing vasovagal and cardiac tendencies to syncope.
• Strengthening nervous and circulatory systems.
• Preventing recurrence through constitutional care.

Remedies are selected according to the cause, accompanying symptoms, and general constitution of the patient.
