My 17 1/2 year old son has just been diagnosed as having vagal reactions and like you it seems to be to pain stimuli although perceived pain (such as fear of having blood drawn) can trigger an episode. I am not finding much information on this and again like you we have been to cardiologists, neurologists etc.. and they say that he does not have a seizure disorder but 2 years later we are finally given the name of vagal reactions after the pediatrician finally witnessed his latest episode. Where can I find more info on this. Please respond to Celeste98443@yahoo.com

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.
