Dear Patient, Syncope refers to a loss of consciousness, and it is usually distinguished from seizures causing a loss of consciousness. At times, it is difficult to distinguish syncope from an actual seizure. The possible non-seizure causes of syncope include medicines, low blood pressure, hypovolemia or dehydration, low blood sugar, thyroid deficiency, adrenal insufficiency, and a heart problem. Thank you.
