Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 My mind isn't working clearly so I have forgotten who i was going to write this to, for that I do apologize. I believe that the word you are referring to is syncope. I cared for several residents at the nursing home who suffered with this. I believe I read that the grandson (I believe) (forgive me if I am wrong) will be seeing a neurologist. Syncope is the temporary loss on conciousness caused by decreased blood flow to the brain. If I remember correctly its most generally caused by low blood pressure. Sometimes vigorous exercise, violent coughing, or exhaustion can cause it. Thats about all I know about it. I knew how to spell it tho LOL. Good luck to this young man. Yahoo! Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Yahoo! Shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
