Rule of thumb, "if the face is pale? Raise the tail".."if the face is red? Raise the head"..thanks to Medical classes..

I've passed out several times once in the shower, it's a horrible feeling Good thing she got help

[bonitobonita]

The lady protects the girls head and lay her down very gently. She has a nice coworker

[itsneverduck.]

The woman who laid her down is awesome! Look at how she protected her head. Good for her!

[shoshyLovely]

I’m tearing because I know how scared she was while passing out but that help from that person is like an angel sent to her by god, May god bless any soul that help people

I have a chronic illness that means I pass out very often, and the best advice I can give to a bystander is don't freak out.
I know it's hard when someone just collapsed, but when you're waking it's very disorienting and hard to think, so the best thing to do would be to gently and clearly tell the person that they fainted and that you're helping them.
Waking and having two or three people around you, some freaking out and dialing 911 and others restraining you, it's really confusing when your comprehension is so low. Having someone there to be like "Hey, (name), we're at (place) and you just fainted, I'm helping support you so you don't fall and hurt yourself" is the best way to get someone reoriented and comprehending the most effectively

I have patches on my backpack that say "I faint, it is normal, do not call 911 unless I am hurt" because I really don't need to be gently recovering from a faint and the EMS come blaring in and paramedics are all over me and I have another trip to the ER where the doctors just make sure I don't have a concussion nnd send me home.(No shade, my dad's a firefighter/paramedic)

[elmirashamuratova]

The way her co worker cared for her ❤❤

[rasway]

The way she cupped her head, and was right on cue🥺 thank God.

[Crystaliiisms]

I have passed out twice, the second time was because of period pain. It felt weird bc I could hear everything but I couldn't wake up or open my eyes. It was at school so once I felt better my brother came to take me home.

The way the lady supported her head and laid her down so gently makes me think she is a mother and those motherly instincts kicked in.

[cynthiasimpson]

This is good to know. Thank you! I just was diagnosed with having Syncope (fainting spells).

[InMyLife]

I’ve passed out many times and it happens so fast…I never know how long I’ve been down or what led up to the passing out. That’s what’s frightening is the total loss of control.

[mik]

God bless her for helping that young lady.

[selinebre]

…omg its such a horrible feeling, you feel like you’re going to die lowkey. It happened to me last week I was laying in bed when I started to feel faintish so I tried blinking to wake up.. didn’t help, so I got up walked in the living room to try and wake up it got worse and then went to my moms room and told her I’m going to pass out she quickly sat me down. It felt like my body was about to fall asleep and there’s no stopping it. :(
Edit: first time I had that feeling ever.. it’s scary

[DLewis-ktok]

Good advice, thank you and I hope I remember that.

[misterrr]

As someone who passes out fairly frequently it's nice to know the signs so you can sit down and lean back then pass out that way instead of falling on your face.

[wckdaintgood]

Bro I passed out for the first time at the hospital and they said I was out for like 2 minutes I rm talking to the nurse about the military and then I wake up with like 7 nurses all around me telling me I had just passed out. I didn’t feel weird it just felt like waking up from a deep sleep. They said I must’ve passed out from the iv needle tho lol never happened to me

[ronalddavis]

Ive dealt with light headedness and sometimes even blacking out my whole life... especially in the summer if i get a lil dehydrated

[cris-RN]

Im an RN of 25+ yrs. I had never passed out in my life until my daughter died. Became a frequent event but I never felt it or realized it was happening. Resulted in injuries and hospitalization each time...🤦🏻‍♀️...I had an idea why it was happening but didn't want to accept it. So just as I had expected, I had a heart attack and didn't know it. The stress from BHS (Broken Heart Syndrome) was the culprit. I was always a healthy person, but now I suffer from heart issues, MH, and HTN...all from BHS....smh🤦🏻‍♀️

Was standing at the checkout station of my OB/GYN office. It's a huge facility, 15 doctor practice. Many different types of tests and outpatient procedures are performed there daily. The desk was chest high, there were two separate MAs standing behind the counter checking out myself and another woman as we stood side by side. The woman next to me kept putting her hands on her head, saying she felt a little dizzy. As I watched, she began to sway back and forth, eyes rolling around. I immediately got behind her and she fell straight back into my arms. I slowly lowered her to the floor, I was so nervous about bumping her head on the floor. One of the MA behind the counter literally leapt over it, as several people came running down the hall. Once she was safely on the ground, I stepped back, grabbed my stuff and walked out of the office. What's cool is I was a CNA student at the time and the previous day in class, we had practiced what to do in case a patient faints/falls. The only reason that I knew what to do was because of the demonstrations the previous day at school. 🙂
