Hey there! I have NCS as well. Obviously there’s no cure:( but I have little tips that help for me (keep in mind my triggers are mainly anxiety and sitting/standing still) Compression socks (thigh high) and compression sleeves Chewing gum during a trigger Increased salt and water intake Beta blockers and SSRI’s Vagus nerve exercises/polyvagal therapy Leg muscle tensing during episodes/triggers Supportive family member, SO, friend, or service dog

I’ve never heard of vagus nerve exercises/polyvagal therapy. Does this help when you feel a syncope episode starting? Mine is brought on excessive heat, under-eating, and injury.
