However, if one experiences the same quite often, then this should be taken as an indication towards a serious problem. In such cases, it is advisable to seek medical assistance and investigate the plausible causes related to the blackouts. One of the causes of a blackout can be problems linked to the heart such as a cardiac arrest or stroke. It may also be related to the brain. Some of the factors concerning the brain that can trigger blackouts include insufficient blood supply to the brain, epilepsy, hypoxia, cerebral hemorrhage, arrhythmia and any injury to the head. Excessive degree of physical stress and/or emotional stress can also serve as a trigger to this medical condition. Also, conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, mental fatigue, and depression can be possible reasons for blackouts. Apart from these physical and psychological reasons, one's lifestyle could also lead to episodes of blackout. People who consume high quantity of alcohol are extremely susceptible to this condition.
