I had a doctor tell me that the anti-depressant has an actual physcial effect on the vaso-vagal symptoms. He explained that it helps supress the vagal nerve. Tell me, what do you mean by pre-syncope? I don't pass out,(only once during a 10K race) but seem to have almost daily symptoms. Do you have tightness of chest, and total body "uncomfrortableness" ? I have had all this since this summer. I spent 5 days in the hospi. in July with a ton of tests. I am now taking a low dosed Beta-blocker (toprol 25mg and Nexium) I have an appoint at Clevelend Clinic in January. I am so frustrated with these daily symptoms. Sometimes it might be gone for about 10 days and then it returns... You too? Thanks...J. Jones

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.
