I can't drink more than a drink or two and have no idea whether or not it's vv related. I know all the stuff about dehydration is true and can easily be a trigger. Another thought is that I am allergic to quinine and to red wine, so years ago I gave anything like gin and tonic (quinine is in the tonic), and red wine (white is fine). Also, if you have anything like diabetes (which I now do, type 2), you've got to be very careful as well.

This web site is not a substitute for a thorough medical evaluation and diagnosis of your vaso-vagal type symptoms.  Medical treatment and diagnosis is the only acceptable initial response to these serious symptoms since they might present from any number of life threatening and treatable illnesses. 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.
