Blackouts Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
Many patients will complain of having had
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
'blackout' but
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
is
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
vague and certainly overused word. It usually means
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
loss of consciousness for
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
few minutes but is often used incorrectly. Patients will sometimes almost boast of having had one of these attacks. It has
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
alarming sound and to say you have had
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
blackout means
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
friends and relatives will be suitably impressed. But if you enquire carefully, you can nearly always separate
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
really genuine loss of consciousness from
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
supposed one.
In
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
fake faint,
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
patient's description is very vague. They say they felt dizzy and fuzzy and thought they were going to 'pass out'. They might also say they felt
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
tightness in
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
chest and broke out in
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
profuse sweat.
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
alleged blackout may often have gone on for up to
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
hour. During
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
genuine faint there is
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
actual loss of consciousness because
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
brain is temporarily deprived of blood.
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
attack is usually very short and is often caused by some emotional upset, albeit
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
temporary one, or by fear.
Waiting to see
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
dentist or taking one's turn in
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
blood transfusion clinic are typical causes, and they are not uncommon when
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
patient is having varicose veins treated. Very occasionally,
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
sudden loss of blood internally - such as from
Select
The
this
an
that
a
the
bleeding stomach ulcer - may cause loss of consciousness and diabetes can cause alarming looking fainting attacks.
