Is there anything we can do to prevent the symptoms of fainting in the first place?
Well, speaking of cheap, safe, and effective, just drinking water can prevent it.
So, if you know needles make you whoozy, five minutes before you get stuck, chug down two cups (περίπου μίσο λίτρο) of water, which can dramatically bring pressures up within minutes in people who are predisposed to fainting, and has similar effects in normal healthy adults.
The fact that water exerts such profound effects can be exploited by blood donation programs, for example, to help prevent people from fainting.
It’s also the current recommended treatment for so-called blood, injury, or injection phobia, which is actually pretty common, affecting about 1 in 25 people, 75% of which report a history of fainting in response.
The problem is not just that they won’t donate blood. Avoiding anything related to blood, injury, and injections could pose a particularly serious threat if people neglect to seek medical care when necessary, but all one has to do is preload with two cups of water
