Fainting, which is the common term for vasovagal syncope is very common. Fainting is commonly accompanied by other symptoms including dizziness and nausea just prior to feeling faint. Although there are many causes of fainting which have to be ruled out, the most common cause is Vasovagal syncope. Dr. Todd Rudo. Main Line Cardiology Assoc.

I was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope and saw a local electrophysiologist. My doctor has put me on meds to lower my high blood pressure. I have not fainted in about six months. I would like to know if I can be fairly comfortable that this will not happen again.

I have a tendency to faint. Usually when I get blood drawn or in church when it is hot. Does this sound like vasovagal syncope?
