Covid Causes Blackout And Unconscious
9 Answers
Just want to share this COVID story.
A family member caught the virus and last night when I was on the phone to her, I thought she hung up the phone as the conversation was not finished. Another later she was awake and be found herself on the kitchen floor.
This is worrying as if she was driving then suddenly this happens and couldn't imagine.

Just because someone who has Covid passes out, it doesn't necessarily mean that the two things are linked.
People pass out because of a lack of oxygen getting to their brain and there are various possible reasons for that occurring. One that comes into my mind, simply because a friend of mine suddenly blacked out half way through eating a pub meal due to it, is an irregular heartbeat. My friend (who was a fit P.E. teacher, with no known health issues at that point) needed a pacemaker fitted, in order to prevent a recurrence of the problem.
I suggest that, at the very least, your family member should mention that she blacked out unexpectedly to her GP. He/she might then recommend an ECG, to check for any irregularity in her heartbeat.
