I have a patient with syncope induced by 30 seconds coughing, micturation and laughter. Given that he does not have chest disease, urinary obstruction or any other treatable condition I was wondering if anyone has tried vagolytic drugs such as Disopyramide for this condition.

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.
