Vasovagal syncope getting worse
Vasovagal syncope is when you faint due to a trigger. This can trigger your nervous system to drop blood pressure and heart rate to the point where blood cannot reach the brain, which can cause a brief loss of consciousness. Often this condition requires no treatment. Your doctor may also advise you to increase dietary salt, to avoid standing too long, to wear compression stockings, and to drink plenty of fluids. If the fainting is too much to handle, your doctor may prescribe a medication called fludrocortisone acetate or even recommend a pacemaker. There are also other causes of fainting, including heart problems, circulation problems, clogging of the neck arteries, and low blood sugar. Therefore, I would advise for you to be evaluated by a physician first to rule out anything serious. They may do tests such as EKG, ECHO, stress test, or blood tests to test for conditions such as hypoglycemia or anemia. I hope this helps. READ MORE
