4. Take It Slowly
Once your body loses consciousness you will be knocked out for a maximum of about 5 seconds, with the longest spell lasting about 10 seconds which is rather uncommon. After you faint and regain consciousness it is vital to remain calm, cool, and collected. Especially if you have a history of high blood pressure and cardiac issues. This is because after a spell you will find yourself disoriented for about 30 to 40 minutes. Your vitals are also most likely to be spiked and any emotional distress may cause more harm.
If an ambulance has been called then they will help to keep you calm by allowing you to breathe through a paper bag or putting you on a breathing machine. This is especially true if you happen to have a breathing condition such as asthma or a struggling to breathe on your own. It is also advised you remain seated down or laying down if you cannot sit up on your own.
