Brief Answer:
Syncope

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that your partner had a syncope event. There are many reasons for syncope ranging from anemia or low blood counts, to heat exhaustion or heart condition. I recommend that she be seen in an urgent care or emergency room. While she is waiting to be seen lay flat drink plenty of fluids and stay cool.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
