Detailed explanation-1: -A person with sudden cardiac arrest also loses consciousness suddenly but will die without immediate medical attention. A person with syncope typically recovers quickly without treatment. However, injuries can occur during an episode of syncope, and recurrent episodes can be frightening.

Detailed explanation-2: -Syncope is used to describe a loss of consciousness for a short period of time. It can happen when there is a sudden change in the blood flow to the brain. Syncope is usually called fainting or “passing out.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Brief unconsciousness (or fainting) is often a result from dehydration, low blood sugar, or temporary low blood pressure. It can also be caused by serious heart or nervous system problems. A doctor will determine if the affected person needs tests.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many different conditions can cause fainting. These include heart problems such as irregular heart beats, seizures, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), anemia (a deficiency in healthy oxygen carrying cells), and problems with how the nervous system (the body’s system of nerves) regulates blood pressure.
