Effect of temporary impairment of blood circulation to a part of the body. It is often used as a synonym for fainting, which is loss of consciousness due to inadequate blood flow to the brain. Paleness, nausea, sweating, and then pupil dilation, yawning, deep rapid breathing, and rapid heartbeat usually precede it. It lasts from under a minute to several minutes and may be followed by headache, confusion, and a weak feeling. The cause may be physical (e.g., heart failure, low blood sugar) or emotional (e.g., fear, anxiety). Abnormal vagus or autonomic nerve response can cause fainting (without preceding symptoms) triggered by ordinary activities such as urination, swallowing, coughing, or standing up or by pressure on the pulse point in the neck. Local syncope is coldness and numbness in a small area, especially the fingers, from diminished blood flow
the elision of an unstressed syllable so as to keep to a strict accentual-syllabic metre This can be managed by dropping either a consonant ("ever" to "e'er") or a vowel ("the apple" to "th'apple")
Syncope (commonly referred to as fainting) is a loss of consciousness induced by a temporarily insufficient flow of blood to the brain It occurs in otherwise healthy people and may be caused by an emotional shock, by standing for prolonged periods, by injury or by profuse bleeding An attack comes on gradually, with lightheadedness, sweating and blurred vision Recovery is normally prompt and without any persisting ill effects

Loss of consciousness from blood loss to the brain It is most often caused by a heart attack, sudden lowering of blood pressure or by fainting Critics point out that syncope mimics many of the elements of reported in near-death experiences
fainting because of a lack of blood flow to the brain, often because the heart stops temporarily - the heart generally stops for 1 of 2 reasons ---> i) a lack of blood return to the heart causes it to skip a few beats or ii) the vasomotor center shuts the heart off if blood pressure gets dangerously high
