Fainting can be Prevented by Slow Yoga by Karishma Abhishek on May 22, 2021 at 12:14 AM
Guided yoga is more effective than conventional treatment for preventing fainting in repeat sufferers, as per a study published in EP Europace, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1 yoga therapy was also more beneficial in terms of quality of life than the standard treatment. Vasovagal syncope or fainting is characterized by a brief loss of consciousness due to reduced blood flow to the brain. Triggers like prolonged standing, fear, pain, seeing blood, and hot, humid environments can contribute to the event.
Approximately half of the general population experience at least one syncopal event during their lifetime. Preventions like keeping hydrated, avoiding hot crowded environments, tensing the muscles, and lying down are recommended for it. However, only modest benefits have been reported with these methods.
