----------------------
Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness usually related to insufficient blood flow to the brain. It's also called fainting or "passing out." It most often occurs when blood pressure is too low (hypotension) and the heart doesn't pump enough oxygen to the brain.

Cardiovascular syncope is a brief loss of consciousness (from a few seconds to a few minutes), that is characterized by rapid onset and spontaneous recovery. It is caused by decreased blood flow to the brain.

Here's some info on Khyâl attacks (“wind attacks”)

“Khyâl attacks”: A key syndrome of psychological distress among Cambodian populations Devon E. Hinton M.D.,Ph.D

Khyâl attacks (“wind attacks”) are a key way that Cambodian refugees conceptualize the somatic symptoms caused by psychological distress. The information about khyâl attack on this website aims to educate health care professionals and researchers about this syndrome in order to facilitate successful treatment of Cambodian populations.

“Khyâl Attack” is now one of 9 cultural concepts of distress in the new DSM-V manual (2013).

From the DSM-V manual:

"Khyâl attacks" (khyâl cap), or "wind attacks," is a syndrome found among Cambodians in the United States and Cambodia. Common symptoms include those of panic attacks, such as dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, and cold extremities, as well as other symptoms of anxiety and autonomic arousal (e.g., tinnitus and neck soreness). Khyâl attacks include catastrophic cognitions centered on the concern that khyâl (a windlike substance) may rise in the body - along with blood - and cause a range of serious effects (e.g., compressing the lungs to cause shortness of breath and asphyxia; entering the cranium to cause tinnitus, dizziness, blurry vision, and a fatal syncope). Khyâl attacks may occur without warning, but are frequently brought about by triggers such as worrisome thoughts, standing up (i.e., orthostasis), specific odors with negative associations, and agoraphobic-type cues like going to crowded spaces or riding in a car. Khyâl attacks usually meet panic attack criteria and may shape the experience of other anxiety and trauma- and stressor- related disorders. Khyâl attacks may be associated with considerable disability.

Symptom Presentation and Symptom Meaning Among Traumatized Cambodian Refugees: Relevance to a Somatically Focused Cognitive-Behavior Therapy

Among psychologically distressed Cambodian refugees, somatic complaints are particularly prominent. Cambodians interpret anxiety-related somatic sensations in terms of “Wind” (khyâl), an ethnophysiology that gives rise to multiple catastrophic interpretations; and they have prominent trauma-memory associations to anxiety-related somatic symptoms.....................
