Does anyone else have vasovagal syncope/neurocardiogenic syncope? I would appreciate if you commented your triggers and anything that has helped you. My triggers seem to be any anxiety and standing/sitting still. Movement+distraction helps. I have had some success with prozac but am interested in trying parasympathetic meds like acetylcholinergic meds or even vagus nerve therapy. I have episodes every day and cannot drive or go to school. If anyone wants to talk, I will respond to messages! šŸŒø

      Museums- walking slow. Heat, standing, blood, shots, sometimes even hearing really sad stories will pull a reaction out of me. I drink a salt/sugar powder packet added to water daily (liquid iv) and it works so well!!!! I'm a new person. I need 8 hrs of sleep and a 20 min nap, and I have a list of different relaxation activities that I do about every hour.

      My main trigger is pain, too hot, too cold, and anxiety to cope I carry a salt packet with Mr bec my doc told me that lacking salt can help get me back faster and it has been working but I hear sweets work too but I eat too much candy so that doesn't really work for me also putting your legs up

      My triggers are sight of šŸ©ø and getting overheated, or being dehydrated for long periods of time. Iā€™m still trying to find ways to cope when an episode happens. I normally end up passing out because of it.

      My triggers are when my bowels are trying really hard to pass something or sometimes just when they are just normally passing things :(
