What happens when you faint?

are you still breathing and is your pulse still beating when you faint?What happens when you faint?
It's the body's way of making you lie down so that the oxygen gets back to your brain quickly. Yes, you are still breathing and have a pulse. If you feel faint try to get your head lower than your heart so it's not pumping uphill and you will feel better fast.
ok. ur vision gets all blurry and white. all u can see are outlines of people. then if you try to walk u cant see where u are going, then u fall to the floor. and there,,,,u fainted
You fall down. I think its caused by lack of oxygen to your brain or shock of having too much adrenilin rushing to your head it dont kill you so hearts still beating and you still breathing. Just a reflex action by the brain to go into auto-shutdown mode
