Common causes and tips to prevent them

Staying hydrated ensures that the body's systems function properly and reduces the risk of collapse.
Low blood sugar
This can happen due to skipping meals, taking excessive insulin, or engaging in strenuous exercise without adequate nutrition.
Preventing low blood sugar involves eating regular, balanced meals and snacks. For individuals with diabetes, monitoring blood sugar levels is crucial to avoid sudden drops that can lead to fainting or collapse.
Heart conditions
Conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, or other cardiovascular issues, can also cause sudden collapse. Regular cardiovascular check-ups are vital for detecting any underlying heart conditions.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, can help manage heart health. Additionally, knowing your family medical history can provide insight into potential risks.
)
Heat exhaustion
This results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially when combined with insufficient hydration.
To prevent heat exhaustion, it’s important to stay cool, wear light clothing, and drink plenty of fluids during hot weather. Taking breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas can also help mitigate the risk.
Stress
This comes from emotional or physical strain can sometimes lead to a temporary loss of consciousness.
Practising stress-management techniques such as mindfulness, exercise, and ensuring adequate rest can help manage stress levels and prevent collapse.
