General indications about fainting
-- the harbingers of a faint are: nausea, sweating, feeling
hot, weak knees, feeling weak in the stomach etc. [web02]
-- put your legs up if there are signs [so the blood will
come back from the legs] [web01]
-- in the case of a faint, the blood supply to the brain is
interrupted and in a few seconds the fainting occurs [by
brain failure] [web02]
-- Causes can be: weak heart, obstacles in the arteries and
cardiac arrhythmias, or drop in vascular resistance +
expansion of the arteries + veins e.g. through nerve
reflexes [web02]
[More factors contributing to fainting by an
unstable body
-- If you only eat white bread, white rice or white pasta,
the body cells are no longer stable due to a lack of
minerals
-- if no more fruits or vegetables are eaten, vitamins,
enzymes, and minerals are missing and the whole body
becomes unstable
-- when waste food with fried oils is consumed, the body
becomes slowly and generally unstable
-- if toxic lemonades are consumed (CocaCola etc.), the
body is manipulated with sugar and caffeine and finally
becomes very unstable
-- if you work too much or only sleep briefly, the cells
can no longer recover, etc.]
-- a short faint is a circulatory collapse and is also
called "syncope" [web01] and usually only lasts a maximum of
20 seconds [web02]
-- when the brain suffers from a lack of blood and therefore
receives too little oxygen, the consciousness gets lost
[web01]
-- Fainting comes from a lack of oxygen in the brain being
provoked by nerve overreaction, from standing up rapidly,
from high pressure in the abdomen (sneezing, pressing on the
toilet etc.), from varicose veins, from diabetes, from
cardiac arrhythmias, from toxic pharma pills [web01]
-- in a lying position, blood flows into the brain again and
recovery occurs [web01]
Mentally induced faint
-- shock experiences cause nerve troubles and cause
fainting, this is not because of blood circulation
("pseudosyncope") [web01]
Diabetes as the cause of fainting or even diabetic coma
-- severe diabetes can also cause unconsciousness or even a
diabetic coma [web01]
Epilepsy with fainting
-- epilepsy attacks can also be accompanied by fainting,
with rolled eyes, these are nervous disorders [web01]
The fainting by reflex (reflex syncope)
-- Nerve reflexes can be triggered
-- by seing a horror (e.g. one sees blood, e.g.
when taking blood [or detecting an accident]) [web02]
-- by pain (e.g. when blood is taken by a
syringe, or at the dentist) [or by a toxic vaccination or
after it] [web02]
-- by bad smells [web02]
-- by other psychoemotional stimuli (e.g.
during too much euphoria, by bad news) [web02].
-- the nerve reflex can [cause the expansion of the blood
vessels (arteries + veins)] and then cause a drop of the
blood pressure or can provoke a slow heart [web02]
-- the blood sinks from the head into the legs, there is
dizziness and in a few seconds comes the "falling over": the
total collapse with falling to the ground [web02].
The fainting by standing up fast ("orthostatic syncope)
When you get up you get "black in front of your eyes" and if
you don't sit down or lie down, consciousness is lost
because
-- the tension in the leg vessels is too low, e.g. through
certain medications (blood pressure medication, certain
heart medication) [web02]
-- the blood volume is too low after a diarrhea or fever
[web02]
[or after menstruation or by eating only garbage
food]
The fainting by cardiac arrhythmia ("cardiac syncope")
-- with severe cardiac arrhythmias (the heart stops or the
heart is racing without a big pumping effect) the blood only
comes irregularly into the brain [web02]
-- the whole cycle breaks down, the blood sinks from the
brain into the trunk and in seconds the unconsciousness is
there, as long as the rhythm disturbances last [web02].
The balance
-- up to 50% of the fainting patients change their life
towards a healthy lifestyle in order to avoid another
fainting [web02]
-- the other 50% remain at risk [web02]
-- 20% of the fainting patients die in the next 12 months of
a heart attack (cardiac syncope, sudden cardiac death)
[web02].
Prevention against fainting
-- Prevention: Avoid extreme activities, put on compression
stockings, do regular exercise [also yoga], drink enough
[web01]
[-- live with blood group nutrition - link
-- eat according to the nutrition guidelines (all has to
be whole grain food, olive oil, medical food, no garbage
food) - link
-- go to sleep at 10pm and switch off everything
-- during the winter eat medical food, during the summer
eat light food and food rich of water]
