A few days ago I woke up feeling "odd". About an hour into getting ready for work, I started to feel like I was dizzy, nauseous and was going to pass out. Even laying down didn't alleviate the issue. I stayed home, on the couch, for the day and by evening was feeling no better. The following morning, I felt fine but by one o'clock was beginning to feel the symptoms of the previous day, again. I went to a local walk-in clinic and was told I had "vagal vaso syndrome" and to drink Gaterade if feeling this way again. That's it....Gaterade, and all my troubles would be solved.....I'm feeling distressed, scared and upset........
