Overview

Syncope itself is a symptom. Patients with syncope may feel balcking out, dizziness, lightheadedness, and temporary loss of consciousness. Patients may experience other symptoms based on the underlying causes of the syncope.

History and Symptoms

Syncope itself is a symptom. Patients with syncope may feel:[1][2][3]

Patients may experience other symptoms based on the underlying causes of the syncope. The table below demonstrates the important history findings of different type of syncope:

Subtype History Findings
Syncope due to orthostatic hypotension
  • Usually after standing up
  • Standing for a long time especially in a hot, crowded place
  • Standing after exertion
Cardiovascular syncope
  • Occurs during exertion or supine
Neurally-mediated syncope
  • Recurrent episodes of syncope
  • Occurs after sudden, unexpected sight, smell, emotional situation
  • Standing for a long time especially in a hot, crowded place
  • During or after a meal
  • After exertion
