When someone passes out, it means they suddenly become unconscious for a short time. This can happen when there is not enough oxygen reaching the brain. It is important to lie down and elevate the legs to help the person recover.
Remember to loosen any tight clothing around the person's neck or chest when they pass out. This can help improve blood flow and prevent further complications.
