r/VasovagalSyncope

I fainted on Saturday night. I was at a comedy show and my dinner was sitting funny in my stomach. I excused myself from the show to go and vomit. I came back into the show, feeling relieved, and then about 5-10 minutes later I felt so weird I knew something was wrong. I left the show again and managed to make it to the exit door before I just dropped. Apparently I was out for less than a minute. Lips turned blue. Arms and head felt weird after coming to.

I got taken away in an ambulance and seen at the emergency room. I got given some paracetamol and was told it was vasovagal and sent on my way.

What?

I feel confused and dismissed. Surely there is a root cause?

I still feel very strange (Monday).
Am going to the GP today to get some blood tests.

Has anyone here gone down the path of trying to find the root cause or is it hopeless?

I want to get advice and guidance about pregnancy and birth and what it entails. I also want to know how to plan for it all and the best course of action if there is one, but there are no nhs helplines or anything unless you’re actually pregnant.

I also want to know if I think I’ll get through it before I get pregnant rather than getting pregnant and struggling or injuring the baby through fainting.

I have fainted multiple times due to needle related activities. Just got an official diagnosis yesterday. When reading up on this condition, I’m worried about slowly getting more triggers, like the pooping one lol. How likely is it that I develop that as a trigger later in life?
