Lori, I did not start fainting till I was 55yrs old. Some doctor feel that this condition starts either in chilhood or adolesense(SP?). Has your father been tested for this? How does he feel pryor too fainting and after the faint? It took me 2yrs to finally get a diagnosis. Most doctors are not familair with dysautonomic conditions. Hope this helps.

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.
