Hi,

what could be a common cause and how can you help if you see someone
collapse (lose consciousness)?

What can be reasons? Food, drink, weather, circulation problems,...?

Different situations are also:
He lost consciousness, but now is "just" a bit dizzy. Or maybe not.
Or you saw him hit something. Or maybe not.

The cause doesn't matter, nearly as much as what you can do to help.

How to help: Call 9-1-1.

911. Check Airway, Breathing and Circulation.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well
preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in
one hand, Starbucks in the other, totally worn out and
screaming,
"WOO HOO what a ride!"
