Fainting Spells in women and child - Symptoms, Causes, Reasons and First Aid of Fainting

A faint is a brief loss of consciousness. Shock is one of the potential causes of fainting but other causes include lack of food, a reaction to emotional news or long periods of inactivity, for example guardsmen standing for a long time in the summer.

To treat someone who has fainted, open the airway and check for breathing. If the person is breathing and there are no signs of injury, then the best treatment is to lie her on her back with her legs raised.

This puts maximum oxygen back to the brain and speeds up recoveryfrom a faint. If she has not begun to come around after 3 minutes, or if breathing becomes difficult, put her into the recovery position and call for help.
