Symptom
Syncope
Sudden, temporary loss of consciousness and postural tone due to transient global cerebral hypoperfusion, with rapid and complete spontaneous recovery, typically associated with a brief prodrome and absence of postictal confusion. Possible causes are reflex syncope (stress, fear, anxiety), orthostatic (dehydration, hypoglycemia, postural, hypotension, diuretics), and cardiovascular (arrhythmia, heart valve disease, heart failure, blood clots).
