I had a very serious Vasovagal episode at the end of a colonoscopy on 5/14/2015. I was awakened in the recovery room to be informed I had a major cardiac incident. They said my heart and pulse stopped for 60 seconds and that they had to do chest compressions to restart.

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.
