Understanding Syncope and Its Causes

At Oaks at Radford Hills, we specialize in diagnosing and treating syncope, a temporary loss of consciousness caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain. Syncope, also known as passing out, can occur due to various reasons, including:

  • Orthostatic hypotension
  • Vasovagal syncope
  • Cardiac syncope
  • Neurologic syncope
  • And more

Our expert team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to uncovering the underlying causes of your syncope episodes, providing you with accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.

Symptoms of Syncope

Syncope is often preceded by warning signs, which can include:

  • Dizziness
  • Blurred vision
  • Lightheadedness
  • Feeling weak or fatigued
  • And more

During a syncopal episode, individuals may experience a brief loss of consciousness, leading to falling or "passing out." Our team of physicians understands the physical and emotional toll syncope can have on your everyday life and is here to guide you through the recovery process.
