can't believe there is a website on vasovagal, I have been diagnosed with this condition after taking diet pills, heart doc said that I probably had it but the episode worsened, everyone thought I had anxiety, but I knew better, the heart doc says it is mistaken for anxiety, I think my anxiety came after, I have not fainted as of yet, I do get dizzy, lightheaded, sweat, and have to lay down when these symptoms come on, I am on meds, an SSRI, there have been studies that SSRI's have helped this condition, I am also on a beta blocker, these meds have helped lessen the condition although I do get symptoms, it is comforting to read emails on this site to know that I am not alone, thank you

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.
