Stretch syncope is a condition wherein a person experiences fainting while stretching the upper limbs upward with the spine extended, or with bending of the neck all the way backwards.

Stretch Syncope (fainting) has many different causes. But it is difficult to know when syncope means a serious problem, such as a seizure disorder, is present and further investigation is necessary.
