Syncope: Go to a doctor to find out why you are passing out. Syncope is the loss of consciousness (fainting) caused by decreased blood flow to the brain. Causes of syncope can be divided into 3 major categories: Cardiac, noncardiac or unknown. The doctor can start with a workup to find out the cause. Go now before you hurt yourself.
