Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Dear Shirley, Have you ever heard of Neuro Cardiac Syncope. My daughter and brother both had it. They say it's when the bloodpressure drops below normal and pulse drops. You can faint from this condition. It causes dizzy spells, lightheaded feeling, and can cause seizure if you faint. That is the bodies way of reacting to the fainting. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Shirley What tests did they do other than treadmill and possibly EKG. Did they do an echocardiogram? I wouldn't drop it until you were satisfied that they could explain your symptoms. Doctors are notorious for not doing the right tests. Have they done a brain scan? Could you be hypoglycemic? Have they done a fasting Glucose Tolerance test? There are many possible causes of your symptoms and they should be checking more thanjust your heart.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi Shirley! What is a 30 day event monitor test? I am glad that the tests all came out okay! But I know how scary it is to keep having these symptoms. You're explanted, right? How long ago? I had the lightheadedness, dizziness and fainting spells too. I did, in fact, faint while I had my implants in. I ended up with a goose-egg on my forehead from hitting the wallboard. These problems all went away in time after explant, so I do hope that you will experience that too! What are you doing for detoxing?
