Usually, this is a response to the release of NorAdrenaline into the Bloodstream. Under normal circumstances, this is to counteract the effects of Adrenaline, returning the body to normal, once a potential threat has passed or vigorous exercise is over.

This has evolved into a survival strategy for some species, that feign death as an escape mechanism when stressed. Fainting, is a stress response, usually where the individual is in a situation where fighting or fleeing are not viable options.
