7. Fainting

Fainting or loss of consciousness is a sudden collapse of the body caused by decreased blood flow and lack of oxygen to the brain. When a person experiences an aneurysm, he or she may lose consciousness due to the amount of bleeding from the brain, which can also prompt a seizure. If the bleeding continues and is not immediately treated, coma can follow. Fainting can also follow intense pain, which can send the body and brain into shock.
