Talk:Syncope (medicine)

message: Syncope can be accompanied by seizure like behaviors (convulsions and eyes rolling back). This happened to my 9 yr old daughter yesterday and it lasted less than 10 seconds.  Of course this was very frightening, but the E.R. doctor said that is was only syncope, (he said "fainting" or "passing out, probably caused the severe pain from her bumping her elbow/funny bone just before it happened) and not a seizure because:
1. She regained consciousness almost immediately after falling (becoming prone allowed her blood pressure to return to normal)
2. She was not groggy or "out of it" after she regained consciousness (it if were an actual seizure her brain would have needed 30-60 minutes to "reset" but she was her usual self immediately)
3. Her EKG was normal  __________

thread_title: New reviews

message: Due to a separate condition and related medication, I frequently have coughing spells which result syncope incidents. The article gives no indication about what the effects are (on my brain). I seem as lucid as ever.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercury07 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Long-term effects 

message: "Of all those with syncope about 4% die in the next 30 days."
Is this accurate?? I looked at the footnote link and saw nothing stating this, though it was merely an abstract. As someone who is highly prone to syncope, I find this statistic quite alarming, and so doubt its accuracy. It looks like something (a qualifier, a more specific group of syncope sufferers, etc.) is missing from this statement; surely 4% of all people who experience syncope don't die in the next 30 days (I hope)!
(Unsigned, as I am not a registered member of Wikipedia. But I do hope this issue can be addressed or clarified somehow.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.180.170.137 (talk) 06:10, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accurate/inaccurate statistic? 

message: Hello, I am a 4th year medical student working with WikiProject Medicine to further improve medical Wikipedia articles and I have selected this article “Syncope (medicine)” to develop. I will focus on improving grammar and flow of the article, updating citations for existing information and expanding especially the “Management” as well as “Society and culture” sections to provide better frame of reference on the various conditions. I have read and will heed appropriately all input presented in the Talk page and look forward to working with all of you to make this page the most informative it can be.Tlemaster94 (talk) 20:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

message: Hi! I will be peer reviewing your article. Overall I think it is excellent how many sources you added to this article making it more up to date and validated. I think you stuck to your plan very well and accomplished what you set out to do. 
Lead: This section is very detailed and gives a great snap shot view of what the rest of the page has to offer. I would be careful utilizing only a single source throughout the majority of the section. Getting another source involved could help prevent any plagiarizing or using sentences too close to the original source. 
Causes: The flow of this section is excellent. It looks very visually appealing with each section broken down into further subsections, allowing the read to go directly to the information they are looking for.
Diagnosis: The expansion of this section is great. I think it is very well rounded and gives the reader a view of everything that may happen to them when being diagnosed with syncope.
Management: Excellent work with this section. It is clear that you added a lot of value to this section and provided the reader with a better understanding of the management.
Overall, I believe you added a great value of information to this article. You expanded important sections such as management and prognosis, as well as adding many sources throughout the entire article. I would just be careful relying too heavily on a single source in the lead section to avoid plagiarizing/bias.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sostephmurphy (talk • contribs) 02:58, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  WikiProject Medicine Peer Review 

message: What is the distinction between syncope and falling-out, which has its own stub article? The latter article presents falling-out as primarily culture-bound, while the present article speaks in primarily medical terms, yet neither article is clear about what the distinction is. Are they two separate conditions? Competing explanations of the same condition? Should the articles be merged? -Amcbride (talk) 23:25, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
