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?
