Hi. I just came back from the doctor after being told I might have vaso-vagal. I have still to read all the letters posted but already feel better after reading a few. With me I remember fainting quite a bit as a kid, blood tests, sudden pain,etc.. Now that I am a mother of two I am more conderned about my latest trick. Twice in the past six months I have passed out after getting up at night to urinate. The first tiem I made it back to bed and then passed out but the second time just last week, I wasn't so lucky and cut open my eyebrow during the fall. Afterward I get the sweats, and a terible urge to vomit. I am thankful that both times my husband was present but it scares me to think what I were to do if I were alone. Is there any tretment for this or is it just something you have to learn to live with? While fainting I also clench my jaw so tightly that for 3 days following the event I felt like I got a good punch in the mouth. Is that normal? I have so many questions ? In the meantime I have scheduled an appointment with a neurologist to see if he can help. Love to hear some reassuring news. kathy
