You ever watched someone faint on TV or online and thought to yourself - “That’s dramatic! I could’ve handled that better.”
But what if we told you that when reality hits, it could actually be a frightening encounter?
Fainting, or passing out, is a temporary loss of consciousness from a sudden decrease of blood flow to your brain. It usually lasts about a few seconds to minutes.
In Singapore, remember 995 for emergencies! Act fast if someone becomes confused, disoriented, or incoherent. These could be signs of a stroke or head injury. If they lose consciousness and aren't breathing, start CPR immediately and use an AED if available.
Your quick action could save a life!
