A member asked:
Can you faint from high blood presure ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not true faint: Fainting is typically because of poor blood flow to the brain which can happen with low blood pressures. Extremely high blood pressures can cause impairment of the brain which could theoretically lead to even coma.
