Situational Reflex syncope

Situational syncope is a type of reflex syncope where a person faints due to a specific trigger or situation, such as coughing, urinating, defecating, swallowing, or even straining. The fainting is caused by a sudden, inappropriate drop in blood pressure and heart rate, but the specific mechanism varies depending on the trigger. Unlike other forms of reflex syncope caused by emotional stress, situational syncope is linked to a distinct physical act or event.
