Is there something in their brain that gets overloaded or something?

Women used to do it more because the corsets they were wearing a restricted their breathing so much. So any time the wearer exerted themselves or had a shock they fainted from lack of oxygen. It can still happen today, but it happens much less frequently because we do not dress like that anymore and can breath more easily.
