An estimated 50% of the population will faint at least once in their lifetime. Fainting is a symptom, and you should expect your GP to ask about family medical history. For more information on this, and obtain our Syncope Discussion Guide, which can help you and your doctor reach the correct diagnosis for any unexplained loss of consciousness.

I fainted and told my surgery but was just given a blood test at my surgery and told there was nothing wrong! It must have been around the time that my paroxysmal atrial fibrillation started following from a bout of shingles when I got the dreadful pain before the rash and couldn’t get an appointment for nearly two weeks by which time the pain had gone but the rash had appeared!!
