Syncope
Syncope, commonly known as fainting, is a temporary loss of consciousness caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain. It usually lasts for a few seconds to minutes and can result from various factors, including dehydration, low blood pressure, heart conditions, or prolonged standing. Syncope often requires medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
