The Danger And Causes Of Falling Or Fainting
Fainting is a brief loss consciousness, often referred to as a blacking out or passing out. Falls that occur as a result of fainting spells are more common among older adults. Since many people do not remember losing consciousness prior to falling, a fall may actually be faint in disguise. A faint or fall can easily result in serious injury or disability, so if you have experienced either of these, it is important to have the right medical evaluation.

Faint and Fall Center Testimonials
“Dr. Andrew Rudnick has been such salvation in my daughter’s life in this past year. Unfortunately, she suffers from P.O.T.S. and he has been working with her to try to treat her symptoms and give her some relief. She was diagnosed five years ago and he’s done more for her than two other cardiologists have been able to do from large teaching hospitals in such a short period of time. We highly recommend him, he’s kind and caring and listens to the needs of his patients which really make all of the difference!”
