Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness that occurs when blood pressure drops suddenly and blood flow to the brain is briefly reduced. It is commonly called fainting. It occurs more often in adolescents and older adults, and caution is needed because injuries can occur when a person falls. Because there are many possible causes, if syncope occurs, please consult a medical specialist to identify the exact cause.2026-06-26
