Info from Licensor: "After the scare we laugh - Because I make a joke even in defeat! Have you heard of vasovagal syncope? Well it is... Discovered this one more just now. It is a fainting caused by a temporary drop in heart rate or blood pressure, reducing brain blood flow and resulting in a momentary loss of consciousness. After the fall, I ran to my cardiologist @gilgoncalvesazeredo who performed the tilt test or tilt test. This exam simulates situations to see how the body reacts to some changes. Now I can use the expression "It's been tilte" (only those who are 40+ will get the joke). Back to the subject, this syncope can be triggered by various stimulus, such as: Staying in hot or stuffy places, not having ingested a satisfactory amount of liquids, standing for prolonged periods, prolonged fasting (my case), getting up too fast (my case too), among others. It is common for the picture to be mistaken for anxiety, panic attacks, epilepsy or other neurological illnesses. Anyway, now I need to avoid excessive fasting, hydrate a lot, wake up with more caution and always have a salty biscuit on hand. Credit: Daniela Tabelini"
