Syncope at home
What is syncope? Syncope is temporary loss of consciousness due to in sufficient blood supply to the brain. It results in peripheral pooling of blood and heart muscles are not able to pump blood that is essential to meet the needs. It normally comes in conditions like fear, anxiety, depression and of course adrenalin becomes insufficient. Once my mother was cooking in the kitchen, suddenly I heard some sound. When I went there I found her lying down. Initially I didn’t know what had happened. I immediately provided her with enough air and made her lie in such a position with legs up and head down. This will facilitate enormous amount of blood to flow to the brain and she gains her consciousness. After some time she was given lots of water with glucose to drink. She became perfectly alright. If the condition gets worse we should make sure that the person is taken to the hospital and administered adrenalin intravenously. The remedy should be accomplished in a smart and quick manner. My presence of mind made my mother feel much better. So if we come across such a situation at home, we should act accordingly. Thus home becomes “SWEET HOME” with every member being hale and healthy.
