Fainting
Fainting, also known as syncope, is a sudden loss of consciousness typically caused by a temporary drop in blood flow to the brain. Common triggers include dehydration, standing up too quickly, or severe pain. Fainting episodes are usually brief, and individuals often recover swiftly without medical intervention.
