I have for a number of years (approx 10) suffered depression. This has been diagnosed as biochemical (how I'm not sure) I do suffer occasionally from severe pain in the abdomen, followed by fainting (the stopping hurts). I have been checked out (camera up camera down) I'm told that the faints are vaso-vagal???? They appeared at 37 years of age, along with depression which has never left. I am a hearing aid audiologist by profession, and would be interested to know if anybody has had a similar experience. The medical profession don't seem that interested over here in England. Thankyou for the interesting site.

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.
