My otherwise healthy, 47 year old husband is prone to fainting during midnight episodes of stomach upset, and only then. The problem is that because there are walls around 3 sides of the toilet seat in our master bathroom, he remains sitting upright on the toilet after he loses consciousness instead of falling on the floor.
Does remaining in a sitting position in this event delay his return to consciousness, and more importantly - does it put him at risk for a stroke due to the reduced blood flow to the brain during the syncopal event?
Thanks,
Worried Wife
