ELi5 Why and how do people faint seeing a celebrity?

583 views

Ive seen people faint seeing a famous person on tv or youtube, but Ive never really understood why that happens. Do they put that person that high up, and look up to them so much? I feel like even if I met God I still wouldnt faint.

Some nerves help maintain blood pressure – regulating how much your blood vessels dilate or contract. Excitement can stimulate vagus nerve and cause blood vessels to dilate resulting in a sudden drop in blood pressure. Standing upright makes it harder to pump blood up and around in these circumstances but then If you faint it helps you recover fast because your head is lower. I know this from fainting a few times 🙂
