Vaso-vagal syndrome

I can't believe I finally know a diagnosis of my fainting condition. When I read the common symptoms they were like I had listed them. I worked for a major university in the medical school. I was seen by Neurologist, cardiologists, internists and one time by a psychiatrist who insisted I tell him what was wrong in my life that was causing me to faint. He was so professional he asked if I was having fits. I replied if I passed out again and he was by my bedside he would know what a fit was. My mother is now in the hospital and a cardiologists asked if anyone else in the family passed out and when I described my symptoms he said it sounds like is vagal. I then turned to the internet this morning and can't believe I now know a diagnosis. Thank you very much.
