Suggest Treatment For Syncopal Attack

This is a syncopal attack. Unless it happens again, no worries!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what your friend experienced. I have reviewed the symptoms fully and this is suggestive of a syncopal attack. Most attacks are caused by a drop in the amount of blood delivered to the brain in the upright position and as such they feel faint and pass out. Unless this happens more than once, there is generally no disease condition behind it. However, if it does happen again, he will need to get evaluated by a cardiologist. We will at least need to obtain a resting EKG to make sure the heart rhythm is normal. Also, a measure of his blood pressure in the upright and sitting position will be of help.
I hope this helps. I wish your friend well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
