Fainting, also known as syncope, is a temporary loss of consciousness. You lose muscle control at the same time, and may fall down. Most people recover quickly and completely.
Fainting usually happens when your blood pressure drops suddenly, causing a decrease in blood flow to your brain. This is more common in older people.
