I too have vasovagal syncope. However, my only occurs when I have any type of

nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It is very frustrating because sometimes I even

pass out laying in bed. It is a difficult situation as I need to get up to the

bathroom on the occasions when I do get a stomach issue going on but if I do any

type of straining through either vomiting or having diarrhea I pass out. My

husband has to be there as two months ago I went into the bathroom and while

being sick simply passed out and I had no warning. I have PBC and AIH and if I

get too fatigued or eat wrong foods it is a bad mix and will cause these

problems. Anyone else have these problems. Jan in Orlando

I also have done this ,both having a bowel movement and vomitting can lower

blood pressure which causes you to pass out.So can having a glass of alcohol.I

have rehydration salts in the house for occasions when I'm like this.I always

come round.I live alone and it's been a part of my life for many years.I have

been known to pass out several times before I managed to get back to bed.It's

more commonly getting up in the middle of the night when I have my

episodes.Inever know whether I'm dreaming it or it's actually happening -it's

very nightmarish.

Rehydration salts do help by acting quickly,
