I too am a basketball referee and I read your note with interest. I have gotten vv with severe pain, a few times after exercising a lot and experiencing severe leg cramps. Lately I have been drinking a lot of fluids before, during and after exercising. I take wate, gatorade and similar type fluids and have had much less cramping.

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.
