How can I get information on treating vaso-vagal symptoms. They seem to be increasing, are mostly related to gastrointestinal problems. Beta Blockers have not helped. I never had these symptoms when younger and have only developed them in the last 7 years or so. I am now in my 60's. Regular cardiac testing results come back negative. I'm about to undergo a 30 day loop monitor test. Is there anything I can do to prevent the black outs? I usually do not feel them coming on.

It is for you and your physician to rule out more serious illnesses; Please don't use this online forum as an alternative to getting responsible medical attention and being under the care of a physician for the duration of any unknown, suspected or dangerous vaso-vagal syndrome symptoms.
