Case scenario
Julie is a 24-year-old mother of two who was taken to the local GP surgery one morning by concerned local supermarket staff after she had fainted in the check-out queue. When first seen, and indeed for the next two hours, Julie remained too light-headed to even sit up without feeling she was going to faint again.
