A Dominican idiom for a sudden spell of dizziness, lightheadedness, or a fainting fit. It describes a medical episode where a person might lose consciousness and need to be rushed to a doctor or revived with home remedies like rubbing alcohol (mentholated alcohol is a common household remedy in the Caribbean). The term often carries a social connotation: a yeyo is seen as an ailment of the common people, whereas the wealthy are said to suffer from formal medical conditions like arrhythmias.
Note, during a yeyo there is always someone to catch you so you do not fall, and it is that same person who yells, she got sick! The use of this word is related to economic status: a rich person does not get a yeyo, they get an arrhythmia, a heart attack, and so on. In the case of women, a yeyo without an obvious cause puts their personal life in question, like, Careful, maybe she is pregnant? or, It is that man making her suffer, etc.
