Hi Kim Could you please post some of your tips here? I'd love to hear what you're doing. I've been increasing water and salt, and have been drinking rehydration fluid - this is to increase blood volume. Too soon to tell if it'll keep me from fainting. I've also heard that doing isometric exercise (clenching all your muscles) also helps get your blood pressure up if you are having an attack. I'd love to hear what others are doing. Maggie

This web site is not a substitute for a thorough medical evaluation and diagnosis of your vaso-vagal type symptoms.  Medical treatment and diagnosis is the only acceptable initial response to these serious symptoms since they might present from any number of life threatening and treatable illnesses. 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.
