My Wife is currently undergoing test to determine the cause of her sudden onset fainting spells. Unlike many of you we know exactly what her triggers are. When she has a cold, URI, that causes her to cough repeatedly some times she will faint for anywhere from 5-30 seconds. she has also triggered the response by laughing. She has no memory of the spell, just that she was "out" for a short period of time. She is 51 and spent a week in a cardiac revaluation ward. She has had the tilt table test and the results were negitive. BP is right on the numbers and steady as a rock. Her heart rate does not change when the events happen, at least not enough for a telemetry transmitter ECG to catch. Blood sugar is fine. She also suffers from chronic fatigue but not enough to impair you daily life. These events started 5 years ago. Right arount the time she had a total hysterectomy. Does this sound like it is Vaso-Vagal?
