It is mainly diagnosed by a cadiologist, who will preform tests such as , blood EKG, event monitor, Tilt Table ect..... It certainly sounds like you have VVS, but do have it checked by a doctor, they need to rule out if its a heart arrhythmia that is causeing the fainting. www.nrdf.org has lots of info on VVS aka neurocardiogenic syncope aka NMH..... Good luck

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.
