Heavy lifting and syncope
Hi, I've done a little edit, removed a couple of times. It's well known in the weightlifting gyms that you can get a syncope, especially while deadlifting. There are videos online and discussions on forum, other than the experience of every lifter. Providing a reference for this is like providing the reference that you can choke underwater. I think it's a shame not displaying this information to every beginner like me that have felt a presyncope and checking this page found nothing. We could save from dangerous situations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.51.14.229 (talk) 11:55, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
 * It is a shame not to represent the view of sports medicine. Here are some sources. I have not reviewed or incorporated them, but some sources exist.

Long-term effects
Due to a separate condition and related medication, I frequently have coughing spells which result syncope incidents. The article gives no indication about what the effects are (on my brain). I seem as lucid as ever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercury07 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Accurate/inaccurate statistic?
"Of all those with syncope about 4% die in the next 30 days."

Is this accurate?? I looked at the footnote link and saw nothing stating this, though it was merely an abstract. As someone who is highly prone to syncope, I find this statistic quite alarming, and so doubt its accuracy. It looks like something (a qualifier, a more specific group of syncope sufferers, etc.) is missing from this statement; surely 4% of all people who experience syncope don't die in the next 30 days (I hope)!

(Unsigned, as I am not a registered member of Wikipedia. But I do hope this issue can be addressed or clarified somehow.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.180.170.137 (talk) 06:10, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject Medicine Workplan UCF College of Medicine 2020
Hello, I am a 4th year medical student working with WikiProject Medicine to further improve medical Wikipedia articles and I have selected this article “Syncope (medicine)” to develop. I will focus on improving grammar and flow of the article, updating citations for existing information and expanding especially the “Management” as well as “Society and culture” sections to provide better frame of reference on the various conditions. I have read and will heed appropriately all input presented in the Talk page and look forward to working with all of you to make this page the most informative it can be.Tlemaster94 (talk) 20:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

WikiProject Medicine Peer Review
Hi! I will be peer reviewing your article. Overall I think it is excellent how many sources you added to this article making it more up to date and validated. I think you stuck to your plan very well and accomplished what you set out to do.

Lead: This section is very detailed and gives a great snap shot view of what the rest of the page has to offer. I would be careful utilizing only a single source throughout the majority of the section. Getting another source involved could help prevent any plagiarizing or using sentences too close to the original source.

Causes: The flow of this section is excellent. It looks very visually appealing with each section broken down into further subsections, allowing the read to go directly to the information they are looking for.

Diagnosis: The expansion of this section is great. I think it is very well rounded and gives the reader a view of everything that may happen to them when being diagnosed with syncope.

Management: Excellent work with this section. It is clear that you added a lot of value to this section and provided the reader with a better understanding of the management.

Overall, I believe you added a great value of information to this article. You expanded important sections such as management and prognosis, as well as adding many sources throughout the entire article. I would just be careful relying too heavily on a single source in the lead section to avoid plagiarizing/bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sostephmurphy (talk • contribs) 02:58, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback! I will diversify the citations especially in the lead as you suggested. Tlemaster94 (talk) 14:00, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Syncope vs. falling-out?
What is the distinction between syncope and falling-out, which has its own stub article? The latter article presents falling-out as primarily culture-bound, while the present article speaks in primarily medical terms, yet neither article is clear about what the distinction is. Are they two separate conditions? Competing explanations of the same condition? Should the articles be merged? -Amcbride (talk) 23:25, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Syncopy Inc. which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 07:20, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
