Who's At Risk
Unconsciousness can be caused by many injuries and types of illnesses. Common causes of unconsciousness are injury to the head by a fall or blow. Causes of unconsciousness specific to fainting can be found in the Fainting topic.

Diabetes affects blood sugar, and too much sugar (hyperglycemia) and too little sugar (hypoglycemia) can lead to unconsciousness in the form of diabetic coma or insulin shock, respectively.

Substance abuse and alcohol abuse, straining during bowel movement, coughing hard, and breathing quickly (hyperventilating) may all cause unconsciousness.
