Vasovagal Syncope

According to the doctor, I have what is known as Vasovagal Syncope. According to everything I’ve been able to read on the syndrome it means that I have the tendency to faint. LOL. No Duh!

The doc gave me a long list of circumstances where I could have this happen to me. Out of the HUGE list, I only found 3 that applied so far.

1: Sight of blood – No kidding
2: Holding my breath – I’ve had this happen once
3: Standing up too fast – Really? This has been happening to me my whole life. Stand up too fast, watch my vision cloud, wait a second till it clears, carry on. I’ve always assumed this was normal and happened to everyone. No wonder I’ve gotten some strange looks when I tell people about it.
