Syncope Simple Fainting Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Fainting or syncope is caused by a sudden decrease in blood pressure. For a moment, the brain does not have the needed amount of oxygen. Other reasons for fainting in children and adolescents are much less common. These reasons can often be figured out through a detailed history and an examination by their doctor. Some uncommon causes for fainting in children and adolescents are heart problems, seizures or other neurologic problems, and stress. Fainting caused by heart issues during childhood is rare. Though rare, this causes the most concern because a cardiac cause can be life-threatening. There are a wide range of treatment options for many heart issues, though. In this video I have briefly discussed the causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and management of simple fainting or syncope.
