It is known that approximately two-thirds of all people who suffer from fainting spells can head them off with simple physical movements.

What happens is there is a decrease of blood flow to the brain, which leads to a decrease in blood pressure and the person passes out. Listen to the results of the latest study looking at how to head off these fainting spells.
