Laughter-induced syncope is a rare medical condition where a person faints due to intense laughter. Syncope, commonly known as fainting, is a temporary loss of consciousness typically caused by a drop in blood pressure, which reduces blood flow to the brain.
Symptoms:
The primary symptom is a sudden loss of consciousness, which is usually brief. Other associated symptoms may include:
Lightheadedness or dizziness Nausea Sweating Pale skin
Diagnosis:
Patient History: Reviewing the patient's medical history and the circumstances surrounding the episodes of syncope.
Physical Examination: Conducting a physical exam to rule out other potential causes of syncope.
Diagnostic Tests: These may include an electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, or tilt-table test to evaluate heart function and blood pressure response.
Treatment:
Treatment usually focuses on preventing future episodes:
Avoidance: Advising the patient to avoid situations that may provoke intense laughter.
Behavioral Techniques: Teaching the patient techniques to control laughter and avoid hyperventilation.
Medication: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to manage underlying conditions that could contribute to syncope.

World Laughter Day 2023: Laugh more often to burn calories and have a healthy heart

World Laughter day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday of May. Laughter relaxes our body and relieves tension and stress.&nbsp;

Even though it is not an alternative to physical activities, laughter does burn calories. According to a study laughing for 10 to 15 minutes every day can burn up to 40 calories as much as we lose in a 3 minute run.
<h3>Health benefits of laughing:&nbsp;</h3>
<ul>
<li>Laughter relaxes our body and relieves tension and stress, relaxing our muscles for about 45 minutes later.</li>
<li>Laughter boosts the immune system.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Laughter releases endorphins, the feel-good chemicals in human bodies.&nbsp;</li>
<li>A good laugh improves blood flow, protecting us against cardiovascular problems.</li>
<li>Laughter also helps us live longer. A study in Norway found that people with great sense of humour lived longer than the ones who didn't laugh as much. The study was particularly done on those battling cancer.&nbsp;</li>

In the study, published in&nbsp;Personality and Individual Differences, they found that people who engaged in&nbsp;fun and benevolent humour&nbsp;(which&nbsp;are positive styles of comedy)&nbsp;generally&nbsp;reported&nbsp;lower levels of pathological worry and higher levels of psychological well-being.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In contrast, those who veered towards cynicism tended to have lower levels of well-being and higher stress levels.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The team explained fun humour to constitute&nbsp;spreading good mood and companionship&nbsp;while benevolent humour meant&nbsp;discovering humorous discrepancies in everyday experiences.&nbsp;Cynical humour was defined as&nbsp;devaluing commonly recognized values.
