I have had vaso vagal problems since the first time I ever had a blood draw. About half the time, I pass out, blood pressure drops and sometimes I am very nauseated. I do not have this problem at any other time and most medical personnel are not at all sympathetic with the problem. I have solved it by always lying down for blood draws and then I have no problem. I do not have a problem when I have shots.

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.
