How To Help Someone Who Is Feeling Faint

Step 1: Raise and support the legs

Promptly assist them into a lying down position and elevate their legs. This will help to improve blood flow to the brain.

Step 2: Open a window

Fresh air is important, so open a window if possible. Ask any bystanders to stand clear.

Step 3: Sit them up gradually

As the person recovers, gradually bring them up to a sitting position.

Step 4: Still feeling faint

If the person starts to feel faint again, lay them back down and elevate their legs again.

If the person is injured or not made a rapid recovery seek medical advice ASAP.
