My daughter has vaso-vagal and has had episodes since she has been a baby. She is fifteen now and lives on salty food and gatorade which seem to help. she has not had an episode in about 3 years. My concern is she has to get arthroscopic surgery on her knee on Jan 29. And I am wondering if any one has any info about vaso-vegal attacks after surgery? I am prepared for her to possibly have an episode because her body will be drained but any info would help or sugestions before surgery? I have include my e-mail address. Sincerely, Pat Toohey
