Syncope, commonly referred to as fainting, is a temporary loss of consciousness and muscle tone due to a decrease in blood flow to the brain. It can be triggered by various factors, including dehydration, low blood sugar, or sudden changes in posture. Collapse generally refers to a sudden fall or loss of strength, which can occur due to syncope or other medical conditions. Both conditions may require medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
