Hi, I have just come back from Greece - got a tummy bug passed out three times during the night and I am now back at home slowly recovering and once again seeking help form anywhere. I stareted having very slight dizzy spells in my late teens. Had a couple of blackouts at the dentist and when I saw blood. Then none for years. at 38 I started to feel nauseous mainly at night knowing that I was going to black out. When I came aroun I was sweating badky, my wife kept me cool then I became cold. I developed"Twitchy legs" coming round. It made me feel ill for at least a full day. This happenned regular especially if I had the flu or an upset stomach. Had total of six doctors over a period of time misdiagnosing. AT first the said it was epilepsy- then all tests proved negative ( and you know within yourself when it is not something). One day with flu I fainted 5 times and went to hospital. The "specialist said it was simple faints and had I tried putting mu head between my knees. Simple faints -- any one who has had (which I am now thinking is Vago-Vasol) an episode of fainting nausea does not take kindly to it being called simple. I note with interest the comments on salt and interestingly enough I do not take salt on my food. I will give this a try now. I could go on-------does this sound like some of you out there. I would love to here from you on this great site which is my determined effort to get to the bottom of my symptoms RHutch4971@aol.com
