Warning Signs Of Orthostatic Intolerance

Fainting

Fainting, sometimes called syncope, is the process of temporarily losing consciousness. The fluctuation of blood pressure in an already decreased blood supply to the brain causes the individual to experience a brief blackout. Losing consciousness is a common symptom of orthostatic intolerance and has many triggers, including staying in an upright position for an extended period, being exposed to emotionally traumatizing and stress-inducing events (like seeing blood or something scary), being in an overly warm or crowded environment for a prolonged period, and insufficient fluid and salt intake. Being conscious of these triggers will reduce the likelihood of blacking out.
