Thanks for taking the time to answer...when you have a vaso vagal attack ...do you go through the digestive problems...I have not passed out yet...I am so nauseated and vomitting or severe uncontrollable diahrea...to answer your question about the amusement park....I have not been on a ride since I was about 22....I don't even go to amusement parks now...I used to go but not ride. I never realized that these things would trigger a vaso vasal attack...obviously, I never even knew what they were before . In retrospect, I can now identify all the circumstances that trigger attacks..but they are so many that I feel like becoming detached from everything...I dread getting sick ....I will do anything not to go through that again...I get sick just talking about it....thank you for offering some support. I just wish there was someway to prevent them. Tomorrow, I have to have a colonoscopy because the one that they tried to do had to be cancelled because I did not make it through the prep...I became very ill....drop in blood pressure , explosive bowel movement, sweating, chills, dizzyness, lightheaded, and a creapy feeling like my insides were crawling....it was awful....tomorrow I am going to be monitored for the prep, the test and the post...I am dreading it. I hope that I do not go vaso vegal again. thanks for the support.
