My wife suffered this today whilst holding our toddler in the car who suffered a deep liason to his head. The combination of high stress environment + blood made her pass out. It was terrifying. Thankfully it was only for moment but it will stay with me for a lifetime.

Very good video. Thank you. I got the symptoms back when I was starving plus lack of sleep and hit anxiety. I didn’t know what it was and ended up going to ER multiple times. But at ER Dr checked many things without any clue.

I loved your suggestions. I have a terrible problem with syncope. It always happens the same way, due to gas build up in my stomach or the onset of diarrhea. I have passed out many times. I drink tons of water in a day and get lots of exercise. I try to avoid any foods that could cause gas. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you

Hi :) I loved your video and you advice! I am a fainter and I have gone through various fainting episodes. Have you ever fainted ?

[jacklawer]

Can I take more salt if i have high blood pressure?

[lisb]

[linaferreccio]

I have mild chiari issues, I’m using liquid iv electrolytes now . I also have venous pooling in my legs with atrophied muscles. I only fainted at my tilt table test 10 years ago. Gastroparesis makes it worse and sugar,

This happens mostly after Number 2-bathroom visit.

Thank you for the tips. What tips do you have to keep from fainting (Vasovagal Syncope) while vomiting? Recently, my daughter fainted 6x when she had the stomach flu and it was very scary. I worry that if someone wasn't there with her next time she has the stomach flu, she could choke on her vomit or aspirate when she's unconscious. Is there something you'd suggest?

[cheryladams]

Thanks, what can I take for adrenal fatigue????

[marleyyates]

This only occurs when I get hurt. Usually if I hit an area that has little tissue in front of the bone.

[cathie]

i have vs and i have tried all of the tips in the past, none worked, this condition is hell

[George-cuen]

I never used have this but earlier this year I had to take my own blood test on my finger and fill up a tube of blood. I wouldn’t of mind just a prick on the finger but to squeeze all the blood out my finger and fill up this tube I wasn’t too happy about and the stress just made me spiral 🌀after about 5 minutes of preparing
felt my self go pale then before I know it woke up on the floor confused and depressed. Since then because I know how easy it is for me lose my consciousness, it feels like it can happen anytime and it has about 4 times this year. Once I get to that state, there’s no tips or nothing it’s like the only way to get rid of the stress is to pass out feels like I don’t have a choice. People who have seen me said I’m unconscious for about 2 minute looks like I’m having a seizure. It’s happened about 4 times this year. I don’t exercise enough for the last couple years that probably don’t help. Never used to have this when I’d have injections or anything seems to be stressed out at the fact I have no choice but to go through all this medical stuff. I feel like I need more than herbal leaves it’s like you might as well completely alter my mind with harder drugs and hope for the best because I’m not scared of blood honestly or needles obviously I wish I never had to have a needle and see blood but it’s definitely where I get emotionally stressed and unless I never have to do blood tests etc it’s never going to piss off but yeh like I say I could just feel it coming now if I’m just working or doing anything

First I yawned, then mild dizziness followed by sweating n high blood pressure, low heartbeat and unconscious for 15 minutes n then gained consciousness.
I went through all scans n testings and everything is normal.why my oxygen level was dropped in my brain. Please suggest whether I should consult neurologist or cardiologist.
I am having BP n diabetes (type2)

[jamesedington]

I have to poop just before I get this feeling, the doctors said that was normal even but it dont happen as often anymore.
