Vaso-Vagal syndrome

From: Barbara Lewitt

I have had several experiences with the syndrome but all have been in hospitals. Each time someone I care about has either declared that they wanted to die...or were close to death or explained their accident in detail to me I have experienced all of the symptoms described. Blood rushes fom my head...feel dizzy, nausea, and have begun to black-out on more than one occasion....After discussing this with my doctor he decided that it must be related to my sympathetic attitude since it has never happened in any other manner.

This web site is not a substitute for a thorough medical evaluation and diagnosis of your vaso-vagal type symptoms.  Medical treatment and diagnosis is the only acceptable initial response to these serious symptoms since they might present from any number of life threatening and treatable illnesses. It is for you and your physician to rule out more serious illnesses; Please don't use this online forum as an alternative to getting responsible medical attention and being under the care of a physician for the duration of any unknown, suspected or dangerous vaso-vagal syndrome symptoms.
