A member asked:

Had near-syncope on the 4th this month. i weighed 148 at the time. now i weigh 134 no exercise done. does near-syncope cause extreme weight loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No...but: Near-syncope does not cause weight loss, however certain causes or consequences of rapid weight loss (such as dehydration) can lead to syncope or near-syncope.
