ájulással

Ájulás, also known as fainting or syncope, is a sudden, temporary loss of consciousness caused by a brief lack of blood flow to the brain. This reduction in cerebral perfusion can result from various factors, including a drop in blood pressure or heart rate.

The sensation preceding an ájulás can include lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, sweating, and a feeling of weakness. The episode itself is typically very short, lasting from a few seconds to a minute or two. Upon regaining consciousness, the individual may feel disoriented or tired.

Common triggers for ájulás include prolonged standing, especially in warm environments, dehydration, skipping meals, sudden emotional stress or pain, and forceful coughing. Certain medical conditions, such as heart rhythm abnormalities, low blood sugar, or neurological issues, can also lead to fainting.

While ájulás is usually not a sign of a serious underlying problem, it is important to consult a healthcare professional, particularly if it occurs frequently, without a clear trigger, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Diagnosis often involves a medical history, physical examination, and sometimes tests like an electrocardiogram or blood work to identify the cause and recommend appropriate management.
