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 once around the time I must have started my AF journey but when I told the surgery about it, I was given a blood test and was dismissed!
