What to do
- Feeling about to faint and no injury: lie with legs raised. Late pregnancy: lie on your side.
- Get help if not recovering or with chest pain. Do not drive.
- Fainting during exercise, while lying down or with palpitations: emergency help now. If unresponsive, do not wait a minute.
- Even if better, seek medical advice after fainting. Do not drive yourself for urgent care.
What to avoid
- Unresponsive: do not assume a simple faint.
