Wow, it was really neat to find this site. A friend of mine told me about it after searching syncope after my 10 year old daughter fainted. I first relized there was a problem when I passed out while driving several years ago. I had every test possible. Tilt table, EEG, ENG, heart monitor. All showed that I am fine. But I still have the symptoms many of you descibe. I have a feeling of de ja vu or uphoria (kind of a sixth sense that things aren't right) many Drs. said its a panic attack. Then I feel hot all over, break out in a cold sweat and feel like all the blood left my body. Then I get a sever nausia feeling and a pounding headache. If I don't lie down soon I will pass out. I have always felt it was something hormonal because it usually happens about once a month. (but not at any particular time) My question to you all is, does everyone have to fail the tilt table test to get the diagnosis? Because I passed that. And, how do you figure out what is triggering it? My 21 year old daughter now has the symptoms that I do and has passed out several time. We refer to it as "our sick stomach ache". We console each other because I had no idea that there were others suffering with the same thing. It's amazing how misery loves company. :0)
