Step

Someone's fainting can happen anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstances. In fact, some people tend to pass out more often than others. However, even if it is "normal" or seems trivial, people who fall unconscious and are unconscious cannot just be left alone.

When someone passes out, as reported from Mayo Clinic , the amount of blood to the brain is not sufficient, so that consciousness is temporarily lost.

A person who faints usually does not have any specific medical conditions, although it can also be caused by serious health problems. However, treat someone who has lost consciousness as a medical emergency until signs and symptoms subside and the cause is identified.

If someone or maybe you feel like passing out yourself, do the following two things:

• Lie down or sit. To reduce your chances of losing consciousness again, don't get up too quickly.
• Put your head between your legs if you choose to sit down.

Steps to help people pass out

Based on written reports WebMD There are 4 steps you should take to help someone who has passed out.

1. Make the person safe

• Lay the person on their back.
• Elevate or lift the person's leg (can be held with something, as long as the leg is high) so that blood flow to the brain returns to normal.
• Loosen any tight areas of clothing, such as unbuttoning trousers or buttoning a shirt.

2. Try to wake up

• Shake his body vigorously, pat, or wake up with a sound.
• If the person does not respond, call an ambulance immediately and take rescue breaths if necessary.

3. After regaining consciousness

• If the person is conscious, give them fruit juice, especially if the person has not eaten for more than 6 hours or has diabetes.
• Stay with the person until he is fully recovered and refreshed.

4. Contact the hospital

You should call the hospital immediately if someone who has fainted:

• Bangs his head while falling.
• Pass out more than once a month.
• Are pregnant or have a heart condition or other serious illness.
• Experiencing unusual symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, confusion, blurred vision, or difficulty speaking.

• Bluish lips or face.
