I was diafnosed with vaso-vagal syncopy my freshman yr. in college when I almost fainted during one of my collegiate basketball games. I was diagnosed after I failed a tilt table test at Deborah Heart Center, N.J. I am currently in my junior yr. at college, and I just started having symptoms that include fatigue, lightheadedness, and dizziness, but have not fainted since the tilt table test. I try to do everything that I can I can when I feel as if I am about to faint. (Eg. By lying flat on the ground) I was wondering if any of these recent symptoms that I have been having would be related to vaso-vagal syncopy? I was not put on any medications because the doctor perferred not to put me on them right away. The feelings that I have been having are awful. I found that they reck my concentrating, especially during school.

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.
