Overview, Causes, & Risk Factors. Fainting is a temporary loss of consciousness and muscle tone. It is caused by not having enough blood flow to the brain. When there is not enough blood flow to the brain, passing out protects the brain from damage. People who faint generally lose muscle tone and fall to the ground. When someone is lying on the ground, the blood being pumped out of the heart doesn't have to fight gravity to get to the brain.
