Loved hearing his last remark “ if a patient shows up in the ER in England with a second syncopal episode they automatically place an ILR . Well done National health service . 👏👏
Oh man just had another one. I'm used to them I usually get about three hours.
I have a friend who's fainting episodes have increased lately. Last month she fell about 3 times
You didn't talk about pacemakers. I have malignant neurocardiogenic syncope. It may have happened due to a virus I caught when I was 2 years old (my first syncope event) or it may be genetic (my brother suffered sudden death due to what is assumed this condition). I had a cardiac arrest while in the OR for another unrelated surgery. My heart stopped for 16 secs and I was fitted with a pacemaker that holds my heart rate at 70 if an event occurs. I now have had the pacer for ten years and just got the generator changed for a brand new one. It saved my life. None of the cardiac tests yielded any heart plumbing issues. My 2D echos are normal and so are the EKGs. What I suffer from is Sick Sinus Syndrome.
Thank you
Ok i am supposed to see a neurologist becausw i have situational vasovagal syncope. My trigger is going tonthe bathroom. Thankfukly not EVERY time but ive already had 4 episodes this year alone and its only may. I am a bit terrified if im being honest.
I passed out today during a panic attack. I’ve always felt like I had a heart issue because of my age it gets dismissed
How are you doing now?
I dont know what to do
I cough sometimes and i fell and passed out cracked my skull on concrete, 10 stapels in my head, scared dont know what to do, happen 3 times in one month
It never fails I wake up 15 minutes later I need to wake up 15 minutes later I need to sometimes this whole scenario from go on for hrs
Awesome!
I’ve had 4 incidents in two years, currently under doctor. All mine were supine.
Btw, I knew just before each event I was passing out, but no time to react
How was your prognosis?
If I was being perfectly honest I black out multiple times a day. All the time actually
They said mine was vasovagal
No wonder I've heard so many terrible things about the treatment at CC.
Leave the virtue signaling out of syncope talks, please.
Cant get away from it anywhere these days. It's crazy.
