Michelle,
I, too have never losst consciousness - just want to die when I these reactions. It was worse even then now when I came down with an intestinal infection, and I've been fighting that for 2 months, now the symptoms are horrilbe, but not as severe - I still want to die.
Do you think it could just be related to this infection and do you have any advice for me?
Thank you, Mary

I am 56 yrs. old and just recently fainted. At first I was told I had a TIA (mild stroke), then they thought it was a seizure and finally I just spoke with the doctor responsible for the Tilt Table Test which he felt was midly negative until I filled him in on some other things and he now believes I am positive for Vaso Vagel. I was walking from the bathroom after washing up for bed and thought "something is happening to me", felt light headed, sweaty, and my legs felt like lead. I made it to the bed, sat on the edge and obviously fainted. My husband found me, said I was reclining, holding myself up by the elbow and just slid down. He put my legs onto the bed and kept talking to me. I could hear him but through a tunner of sorts. I apparently slept all night after this episode and woke up feeling somewhat out of sorts. Does this ring any bells for anyone else. I have never fainted in my life. It was hot that night, I had drank tea and coffee (reg) and was upset when this happened (home under construction) and was carrying things up from the basement, so I was tired as well as stressed. I would welcome if anyone else identifies with this. I am trying to sort this our. Thanks very much for any reply or information, Alice (Green Acre@aol.com))
