A member asked:
Can you please describe the first aid procedure for fainting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fainting: For the common 'faint' which is associated with low blood pressure and often slowed heart rate, lying the patient down with legs a bit elevated is the first aid. This helps bring more blood into the central circulation and helps blood pressure rise and heart rate to rise.
