I AM A 31 YR OLD FEMALE THAT HAS JUST RECENTLY DIAGNOSISED WITH VASOVAGAL, VASODEPRESSOR, NEUROGENIC, NEUROCADIOGENIC SYNCOPE. I HAVE BEEN PASSING OUT FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS. THE SYMPTOMS JUST INCREASED. I WAS BEING TREATED BY A CARDIOLOGIST FOR MITRAL VALVE PROLASPE AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE... MY CHOLORESTEROL HAS BEEN HIGH ALSO. I JUST SPENT 3 DAYS IN THE HOSP. TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS WHAT I HAVE.. I HAD NO SIGNS OF PASSING OUT. I JUST WENT... I HAD THE TILT-TABLE TEST DONE IN THE HOSP. AND IT WAS JUST TERRIBLE. I DID FAINT. MY BLOOD PRESURE AND HEART RATE BOTTOMED OUT. I WAS AT 150/100 AND WENT TO 30/20. HEART RATE OF 120 TO 20. THIS WAS AN EXPERIENCE TO BEAT THE BAND FOR ME. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THIS. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS PROBLEM RUNS HIGHLY IN PEOPLE THAT HAVE MS OR CF. I HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED FOR THESE BUT NEED TO KNOW IF I SHOULD... I AM EXPERIENCING NUMBNESS IN MY FEET,LEGS,HANDS,AND ARMS. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE. PLEASE SEND ME ANY ADVICE OR IMFORMATION YOU HAVE. THANKYOU,
