My 18 year old daughter has had 6 syncopal episodes in the last 3 months (2 in June and 4 in the past 2 1/2 weeks). We have had her in the ER twice (nothing found), to a Cardiologist who had done an echocardiogram (nothing found), a 25 hour holter monitor (nothing found), a stress test (nothing found), and she is scheduled for a 30 day holter to be applied tomorrow and a tilt-table test next week. She has also met with an Electrophysiologist yesterday who has suggested that it is probably a vagal response and has started her on atenolol. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone???? Please send comments. Thanks.

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.
