I JUST SPENT 1 DAY IN THE HOSPITAL AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME IS THEY THINK I HAD VASO-VAGAL AND I SHOULD STOP TAKING MY BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE AND TO GET UP SLOWLY. THEY DID AN CT OF MY HEAD, HAD A CHEST X-RAY AND SPENT THE NEXT 36 HOURS GETTING BLOOD TESTS AND THEM TAKING MY BLOOD-PRESSURE EVERY FOUR HOURS. SO I REALLY DON'T KNOW ANY MORE NOW THAN I DID WHEN I WENT IN.
