Prevention of course depends on the type of syncope and above all on its causes. It is obviously not always possible, the syncope often occurring by surprise. However, some common sense precautions can prevent certain syncope:

– Avoid excess medication in the elderly.

– Avoid taking non-essential psychoactive drugs.

– Avoid the consumption of drugs (alcohol in excess included)

– Do not suddenly change position in the event of orthostatic syncope.
