Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi Family, Does anyone know what that means? I had two at the ER last night and all they would say was I passed out. Each time I was just standing up and the pain in my stomach hit me hard. Next thing I know I'm on the floor. Why would that happen? I was in so much pain last night I forgot to press the questions. Anyone know?

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Sunny, What you heard them say was actually "syncopal episode" instead of sinkable episode. All it means is you fainted. It's not a diagnosis, just a description of what happened. It's impossible to say why you fainted without further testing. Hope they get a handle on all your stuff soon!
