In this video, Dr Sanjay Gupta discusses vasovagal syndrome or vasovagal syncope in an easy to understand way. My website is www.yorkcardiology.co.uk and my Facebook page is yorkcardiology@gmail.com
Not surprising cause youtube has hundreds or thousands of videos on each topic so you can watch one from an expert for your medical question, whereas your general doctor is unlikely to specialize in the specific question you have.
It would be very helpful if doctors would have a pamphlet in their office for each of these conditions so that they can give the patient a little more education with what you have rather than say you're fine and send you out the door. People want and deserve to be educated on what is going on with their bodies.
I suspect that your patients are completely educated and at ease. Your ability to put things in layman's terms is impressive. You clearly care about helping people. Thank you for the video :)
I have had this I was 8 years old and I am now 42. I had numerous episodes as a kid and then all episodes went away for about 15 years. I joined the Air Force and was able to stay in for ten years. I had my first episode as an adult while deployed to Afghanistan while onboard a military aircraft. It was dark, hot and crowded. I now have a pacemaker and still have episodes but no full fainting. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone 😔
Thank you very much! My episodes seem to be related to both digestion, dehydration, and too much sugar. It’s such an awful feeling, and at my age, it frightens my children so much. They say, “Mom, no more episodes please.”😌🙏🏼
There is a terrible amount of stigma surrounding mental illness and vasovagal syndrome usually leads to anxiety, depression, panic disorder, and agoraphobia. So on top the stigma surrounding mental illness there is also stigma surrounding people who faint, often being perceived as cowardly and weak. My existence is a humbling one...
I had many people say...oh he is just faking it. Really?? Sure I wanted to be forced to quit working, lose my home, car and force me to file bankruptcy due to owing 40k in medical bills (due to my employer cutting off my health insurance). Sadly people have no clue unless they are in our boots or are medical physicians.
@@bobg69 Here in the States we Desperately NEED Health Care Reform!!!!!! It's Criminal that you should have to forfeit Everything you worked for just because you had the bad luck to become ill! Disgusting and Shameful.😡😡😡
Great heavens Doctor, you are just a born, born teacher!! I just hope you are a lecturer in medicine to students of the subject... they will pass their exams thanks to you. Huge clarity of mind, and expressed so brilliantly. Bravo
TIP for people giving blood !!! Tell the nurse that you have to lay down and ask for a ice pack for your chest and or for the back of your neck. Best advice I got, and it's helped me beautifully .
Thank you for this!! I really like to donate blood and out of nowhere the last 2 times I’ve had this experience. I’m not nervous about it or scared and I’m very frustrated by this. They put ice on me after but it’s far too late then 😢
Emotional Vasovagal Syncope is like a fast train that can’t be stopped and it comes crashing down on you where you become faint and unconscious, into a complete brain shutdown. But also, an almost immediate, fast recovery from these seizure attacks as if the brain has reset itself. Low blood sugars definitely contribute to these attacks taking place.
Actually, I took my glucose monitor and tested and found I had high blood sugar during episodes. I have an eliminated most all carbs and now I am not having episodes anymore.
I just had a vasovagal reaction today after getting blood drawn. I fainted on the floor and hurt myself pretty bad. 9 stiches on my eye and a concussion. Thank you so much for this video! I will definitely be taking your advice to avoid this in the future! A great and well spoken video that was very understandable.
The scariest part is waking back up and not having the faintest clue where I am or what just happened. Fortunately, most of my vasovagal attacks do not progress to complete loss of consciousness.
What do you mean by this “do not progress to complete loss of consciousness” ... I’m trying to find answers... no doc knows what’s wrong... I have fully conscious body convulsions
Thank you SO much for posting this. My daughter's heart stopped twice. When she was 5 and received her MMR and Varicella combination vaccination, she went blue and slumped down. Medics rushed in and said her heart stopped but then restarted. Later in the ICU when they could find nothing wrong with her, she was told she could go home. While dressing, she went out again, and we were told her heart stopped for a minute and a half. They used a holter? chest/vest monitor. Still could not find anything wrong, but they implanted a pacemaker, as they said her heart rate was dropping down very low at night. Pacemaker only went off a few times, in the middle of the night. Later it malfunctioned and they turned it off. She was told she'd outgrow the problem as she put weight on and grew in size. My father, a radiologist, said, upon viewing my ultrasound while I was pregnant with her, that she had a small white calcification on her heart. He'd never seen one before and didn't know what caused it. She was examined thoroughly, upon birth; no heart problems found. Now she is 19. She will feel cold, and hear sounds and then faint. I will show her your video. It will be very comforting to her, I'm sure. You gave very good advice and I do so appreciate your time and expertise.
Thank you for this! I have suffered from passing out frequently my entire 32years of life! I’ve hated it and never understood it. I know all my symptoms and warning signs- they come on strong and severe but I’m used to them now so I have a little time to act before dropping but it’s such an inconvenience especially when it starts happening on my commute standing on a packed subway. No doctor I ever saw explained this to me and this is exactly what I suffer from! So thank you!....word of advice to anyone struggling with this, keep a tiny bottle of water, hard candies like lifesavers -no pun intended 🤣 and little packets of salty nuts on you at all times, if you start feeling like it’s coming on these help you recover super quick it won’t stop episodes but get over them faster and not be so obvious that you have a pass out problem like me😂 I call it my fainting kit 👍🏻
thank you!!!! Thank you so much for your comment and for watching the video. Please join me for live free chats on my Facebook page (type yorkcardiology@gmail.com in Facebook search) - I will be able to answer your questions there
Kelly Rowe : I exactly faced this today morning in a packed subway with so much suffocation and immediately asked for help who made me sit down and have some water and an orange after which I felt much better ! But did you have a panic attack after that ? For the next 2-3 hours I had constant feeling of dizziness and anxiety !
When you made this video, I had never heard of vasovagal syncope. I was a happy human, enjoying walks and long hikes for three or four days (with camping gear on my back). In 2020, I clearly remember the time and the day (August 21) I felt a bit off, to be honest I had not felt good for a few days but had no COVID symptoms and my tests were negative. I remember that they were putting in new driveways in our condos and that it was a beautiful summer day. I came home and my daughter, she is a nurse, bless her heart, she sees me and asks me if I am okay. I said no, I am not feeling the greatest. I ended up in the ER and was bored to tears as the pandemic was in full swing here in Canada, and we were not allowed visitors. In the evening a doctor came by, finally I thought, I am going home. Turns out, he is a friend of mine. I am like, Jamie, don't you know who I am? He looks at the record, which has my full Dutch name on it, and is confused, how did I know his name? I pulled my mask down a little, and he goes like: Al??? Oh, my word! You never want a doctor to say those words.... uncontrolled aneurysm. Okay... so what medication do I take, and when can my wife come pick me up? I was hungry, had been in the hospital since 11:30 AM, and now it was 6:30 PM, no water, no food, I was not allowed to walk around either. Uh, no, you are staying with us for a while. What seemed to be tests going on forever, I ended up in a nice private room - courtesy of Jamie. I had quad by pass and after coming home, feeling a new human, well... okay slowly does it.... I remember the day, December 29, I was working from home, felt tired, so tired, yawning, my wife was saying that I yawned so much. I felt clammy, not well, but I thought: Let me go lay down in bed. I never made it to the bed, that was the first time in my life I fainted. I think I was out for maybe 5 seconds or shorter, and stood up to go lay in bed. BP was so low it was not even funny. I felt terrible. Of course, we thought it was the old ticker, but not this time. All blood work came back without issues. This was the first time I heard the term vasovagal syncope. Everyone just behaved like nothing happened. I had sustained some damage during surgery, the doctor mentioned. I learned about my triggers, I educated myself about the vagus nerve and nerve X and the interactions between signals from the brain to the heart and so on. Today I learned to live with it, I am back on walks, but not so brisk and not so far. I have turned older, I feel exhausted most of my days. I have had many heart scans and research and tubes and sensors in me, I think they know me better from the inside than I know myself from the outside. I do have a strong opinion that VVS is not just the cardiovascular system, research from many universities, but the study at the University of Alberta, here in Canada, actually wrote about the possibility of nerve and cardiovascular systems not working well together. It was an eye-opener, and I contacted the researchers. We are now almost 2.5 years after my first incident, and I have had at least 5 where I passed out. I lay down in the grass beside the trail and people run up to me. Please let me lay down for a few moments, I am alright. Fetch me my water bottle, please. At work, my co-workers know what (not) to do. Just let him sit or lay down. And they are very understanding and accommodating. Yes, it is perfectly fine to live with VVS, don't paint a target on your back, is what my grandpa always said. And he survived WWII
Thanks, I thought I was dying lol. Absolutely hands down the worse feeling I've ever felt physically and mentally at once. Good to know more about the collapse episodes, and what to even call them!
you explained this really well !!! My hubby has this, and he passes out when he has blood taken , it even happens when he hears people talking about anything medical , it can be scary !!!
Thank you so much for your explanation on vadovagal. I had a tilt table test years ago after years of symptoms and was told I had this. No real explanation was.given. I've been scared for years. So thanks for doing what you do. You're a Godsend. Knowledge is power and takes away my stress over it💗
Thank you billions ,doc, all information you have provided is much appreciated, I generally suffer of this when I am about to vomit or nauseated and it's very painful to see my parents to get worried . Thank you
Thank you for this clear explanation of my vasovagal attacks...I'm 88 and now know I need more water, and salt in my diet to avoid such frequent episodes.
Very informative... I had vasovagal this morning the doctor diagnosed me with it and said I should watch this video so can make me understand it even better
This has been the most accurate and informative video that I have ever heard about vasovagal. My experience with Vasovagal goes back about three years. The first experience was due to me taking physillium husk which it’s intended purpose is to push out bile from the colon. Not understanding how to take this detox husk, I failed to drink plenty of water before during and after and experience my first exposed which was not properly diagnosed by the doctor! I was diagnosed with syncope. The second experience came from me having the sensation of trying to use the restroom and straining. Which I knew better not too, but i did, and I started feeling the palpitations and all of the warning signs etc. well last night, I almost experience the full effect of vasovagal, however, I took the advance warning signs and started to lay down with my feet up, I started to drink water, event water with cayenne pepper to stimulate the blood flow, and I then got some rest. Today I am better and I am so happy that I was able to beat it this time before it beat me!!
Thank you Dr.Gupta for this explanation. Now I understand why and how to deal with this. I wished that my doctor would told me what you just said in this video. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule and make such videos. I being a viewer only can say that it is more than charity work done by you.God bless you.
This was a Godsend. I have a "habit" of fainting and it comes to me out of nowhere and the symptoms always hit first. I've had every test and my heart is fine. I am told each time it's "vasovagal syncope" but yes; it is EXTREMELY disruptive to my life, incredibly frightening and very depressing.
Hi, I've been searching through google and youtube, so far this is the best video I've found for my situation. I noticed this symptom happening to me 3 times in my life. 1) Had a car accident, a lot of blood was coming out from my cut lips 2) during an acupuncture where I only tested a single needle on my arm whilst sitting down. 3) when my son was almost done with his circumcision. The last part did feel embarrassing and useless because at that moment my mind was all about wanting to be the best dad that stands by his son going through pain. I didn't faint but I could feel my whole upper body slowly losing blood pressure. This is the video that my me subscribe. And Finally I get some proper tips on treating/avoiding this symptom. Other sources only tell me to completely avoid the situation by being somewhere else. NOT helpful at all.
That was so informative.I came out of hospital yesterday after an over night stay due to aVasovagal episode.You have put me at ease and now due to your explanation I know how to avoid it happening again.Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for the video. I just turned 50 and finally have an answer. I used to faint as a child when it was hot but has returned in full force about five years ago. Comes on suddenly and typically in the morning. Thank you!
Great explanation, thank you. I relate to everything you said. When we were at the vet to have pins removed from our dog's leg, we were in there with the vet. He started cutting off the cast and I could feel the symptoms come. Tunnel vision, vision started to go black around the edges, whooshing in my ears, felt weak and a little sick. So I went out and sat in the reception. I wanted to lie down, but was too embarrassed. The symptoms passed after a while though. As you said, the initial symptoms are a warning and gives you time to do something about it.
Long story short, it took about 4 years to figure this out. The good thing is, I know it’s not Cardiac related. I’ve had an eco, heart catheter, ct with contrast and I’m sure something else. I just have to learn how to deal with this. Thanks for listening
I love how he explains things so simply so you understand. And his examples are amazing.. I’m on a monitor now for 2 weeks. And I have waited 7 month from my hospital discharge to get this done. I finally see the doctor in August. When I was discharged from the hospital last November I was told I might need a pacemaker. Then I had a colonoscopy in May and was told I was in a Bundle branch block. I called and reported to my primary care doctor and he said he was not worried about a BBB. Then I ended up in the hospital again. Then I was told I had a slow rate and a ventricular tachycardia. I was shocked .
Started watching your vids because of my PVCs, and now I'm passing out from this. Been to the ER 3 times and every time I asked what I can do if it happens again. They gave me no advice! So thank you so much for this! Always an informational life saver!!
@@YorkCardiology Hi sir, I’m in such despair and getting no help from gastro consultant , GPS , cardiology etc Please can you help❤️? For over a decade Iv gone through my nose torn and hanging off , my head burning against a hot radiator , so many blows to the head , My blackouts all started after my gall bladder was removed because tiny stones were blocking in the bile duct, Since I have food blocking under my left breast ( swelling like a football) Even using laxatives and lactose medicine to try to free this , I still get regular episodes were I end up violently sick , were the waste ends up erupting out of both ends / vomiting and diarrhoea and while this is happening I blackout , I feel My heart struggling to pump , my legs go into spasms and cramps ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE, I feel I’m not getting any nutrients to my brain and body, Iv lost nearly all my teeth , can’t grow my nails ,my hairs gone thin, My entire body bones muscles etc are in chronic pain including daily headaches ,skin rashes etc And I get more and more wrongly diagnosed, Fibromyalgia, arthritis, Hypothyroidism, High white blood 🩸 I really think I have a blockage and it’s leaking into my body POISONING MY ENTIRE SYSTEM 😢 And no one is listening
This has happened to me every so often through out my life, even as a child. I have learned to lie down with my feet up as soon as I feel it happening and it is prevented.
Thank you, Dr. Gupta. I used to faint in church as I had to be fasting for communion. I stopped going to church , The Lord has provided, with positive results. No more vasovego.
Fasting is one hour prior to eucharist. That can be 30 minutes before mass as eucharist is in last part of mass. I teach catechism 2nd grade and this is what we tell our first communion students. Hope this helps.
I also faint in churches or any places that holds a suffocating mix of the strong smell of flowers and candles. I used to joke about the incapability of Jesus to romance me and/or being a non practising witch living on a more openminded era as a coping mechanism.
The first time this happened to me, I was at the top of the stairs and woke up at the bottom....put a hole in the wall with my head. So that was fun. Fortunately I know now what it feels like when it's about to happen.
Finding this super helpful. Was just recently hospitalized for passing out at work twice (sitting upright. All of the things you are saying make a lot of sense for me. Thank you for this video!!
Thank you for your video, Dr. Gupta. It was very informative and easy to understand! I've been diagnosed with Vasovagal Syndrome a few years ago, after a tilt test, and just yesterday I fainted while visiting my uncle, who is in a cardiac UCI. It was embarrassing, but I was immediately assisted by the cardiologist and the nurses there and everything was ok. The doctor suggested I'd do a few more exams to make sure I don't have heart arritmia or something more serious. It was the second time I fainted in a month and it hadn't happened for a while.
Dr. Gupta, thank you for this very informative video. I have had vasovagal syncope for quite a few years. I've learned to manage it, and do stay hydrated, and listen to my body. Your tips on how to avoid it will help people with this issue. Thanks again !
I got diagnosed with this a few years back. My episodes sometimes result in a panic attack. Also, pre-episode, I yawn a lot and my eyelids get really droopy. I have never passed out. These episodes occur daily for me and the worse ones occur around once a week. Around once every 6 months, I get a bad one that result in a panic attack. Once a year it ends up as a seizure. Luckily, I am 13 now and I can manage them better. Hope this helps someone!
bexnmoo wonder if that’s my problem ! I feel side effects daily, but I’ve had resyncope at least once a month, and it’s awful! I hate it! And mine gets triggered by upset tummy! Whether heat, coffee, etc causes it, but anyway, when the syncope comes on, I the symptoms I’ve felt, EMS said sounded like a panic attack.
My experience with vasovagal syncope started when I was 16. It has happened numerous times theought thr years, often resulting in a faint, but I have since learned to lay on the cool bathroom floor until I feel more stable. But, my trigger seems to be limited to gastrointestinal problems. Not exactly sure what does it, but I get wicked pain in stomach, feel super hot, get crazy sweaty, my ears are ringing super loud, vision fades out and everything becomes shadowy and then I pass out. It's probably irritable bowel or something, but its always been centered around going to the bathroom in my case. It's horrible. The last time it happened I had fallen off the toilet, smashed my tricep on the garbage can and the can got pushed into the drywall. I was ok, but I had a HUGE, NASTY bruise for a good month!
@cebo I feel like I maybe ate something that disagreed with me, and then the sudden onset of "gotta go, now!" mixed with constipation for days typically results in my insides trying to kill me. Not fun.
@@jenniferkokk7065 it can be pretty scary, especially when you're not at home. I've had it happen at school and at the mall, not fun! If you can, lay down, less likely to.hurt yourself
I just fell in love. This is been happening to me for years and years. I have fallen so many times. I have so many scars on my face, eyes, body. I have been hospitalized numerous times and the doctors tell me nothing. I learned more in 15 minutes from this video than I ever learned from any of my doctors. The only problem I have is when I get the signs I get so confused I can't get to my bed or floor. My family always says well just go lay down but I can't get there so I end up falling. I thought it had to do with my sleep. doctors said possibly medication they've changed my medication still doesn't help. Thank you Doctor Gupta. You are amazing. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. You're just what I needed.
Thank you for this video. I have been diagnosed with this and find you more informed/helpful than the Dr.’s I have encountered…it’s scary to faint.. I have had many episodes, especially the time I overdosed on alcohol, took a bath then fainted (heat + booze don’t mix…). Some stuff was said that I knew, but was provided (more) helpful advice. Though you said it is NOT life threatening…my heart did stop for 30 seconds after I got out of the bath and into my room where the ambulance was: I was shocked back to life. Thankfully I have quit alcohol (I’m an alcoholic and getting help to stay sober). Also, not enough rest has caused symptoms as well so I have taken action to make sure I get enough rest (in college I didn’t get enough sleep so I got symptoms and laid my head down then laid on my bed…this happened during class).Anyway, Great video, I think, and, again, thank you.
Thank you for explaining this annoying condition in a way that, even I ,can understand it. It was too cute when your pooch started barking in the background. I felt like your pooch was listening to your presentation and was reminding you not to forget to say certain things. Thanks Doc!🤗
Most of my life I've fainted when having blood drawn or injections. I've always had very low blood pressure so I thought it was connected but never confirmed. Then I experienced my heart stopping twice during two separate procedures involving my uterus! (During hysterectomy surgery and years earlier during removal of an IUD birth control device.) I followed up with a top cardiologist after the surgical episode who did a lot of testing and told me that I could virtually be 'scared to death' and some day I would need a pacemaker because my condition (sometimes racing erratic heartbeat, sometimes too slow heartbeat) could not be control with a drug. Twenty six years later I did have the pacemaker implant because with aging the paroxysmal Afib was becoming more frequent. During all of those times spent with specialists, no one has ever told me of the many Afib triggers to avoid and outlined the whole physiology like Dr. Gupta. Bless you, bless you.
I’ve had these since 18 yrs old and I’m 60 now ...last month I broke 5 ribs and had partial lung collapse ...as you get older it’s much more serious ie bones start breaking
Hi Dr. Thanks for educating... Had a similar episode today... My doctor even here at a India's premier educational institute (IITk) did not educate me enough, and just told me take rest... Thanks a ton 😇
First of all thanks for sharing your knowledge.. never heard such an good explanation including every points. 👏👏👏 I always had this problem in my entire life of 3O years. Was so embarrassing.. as myself a doctor. Sometimes even mentally attached. My trigger factors are pain, watching medical procedures like surgery, sight of blood, crowd, heat, loud noise, wearing very tight cloths , emotional stress, trying to stop the natural urges and of course sitting or standing for a long time. Tips helping me : having salty nuts and chocolate handy, breathing exercises, avoid triggering factors
Medstudent... Actually just had to study this for sem exams...And now I've self diagnosed! Glad my almost fainting episodes are nothing to worry about. Thanks a bunch!
Nice one :) I (Thankfully) had one episode of VVS back in 2010 where I took the most average of showers (around uni exam time mind) just after I had woke up where I felt distinctly hungry, and as I was about to get out of the shower patting my face with a towel - I went blind as fast as a lightswitch. I was blind for a total of around 5 minutes, first blinking hard etc to try figure out what was going on, then opening the bathroom door to let air in, before finally deciding to feel my way to my bedroom and lay down. At which point my vision slowly crackled back. I had no sensation of vertigo, sickness, disorientation or dizzyness, only a horrible feeling or fear of impending/encroaching death - and sadly I had noone around me at the time to confide in so I spent the day afraid it would happen again. These days I am simply careful especially pre-showers in terms of food, and mindful of what my body is saying :)
You are a godsend for me i have been prone to fainting and blackouts for many years and still is at 82 but mine is related to heart problems thank you for all your videos
This consultant knows exactly what he's talking about and has some real passion for what he's talking about too. He isn't shy of mentioning staying away from conventional treatments where necessary as there are natural alternatives sometimes.
Thank u doc. Ur explaination is fantastic. It happened with my mom today n docs here in India are scaring shit out of us.. thanks for the wonderful explaination. I owe u a party for that..
can relate to this.. very precisely...trying out the salt water, sugar.. will come back and tell. You have our highest respect for your effective, natural and honest work. Sir!🌱🧚
Dear Doctor, I am in my 40s. I am into regular exercise, eat healthy. But whenever I do diet control, which is completely for health reason, I encounter similar issues that you describe in this video. Thank you for this wonderful video 🙏

So thank you!....word of advice to anyone struggling with this, keep a tiny bottle of water, hard candies like lifesavers -no pun intended 🤣 and little packets of salty nuts on you at all times, if you start feeling like it’s coming on these help you recover super quick it won’t stop episodes but get over them faster and not be so obvious that you have a pass out problem like me😂 I call it my fainting kit 👍🏻
thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching the video. Please join me for live free chats on my Facebook page (type yorkcardiology@gmail.com in Facebook search) - I will be able to answer your questions there
Can having some salt will reduce the fainting period r it prevents falling?? Plz share ur technique
Thank you ♥
Kelly Rowe : I exactly faced this today morning in a packed subway with so much suffocation and immediately asked for help who made me sit down and have some water and an orange after which I felt much better ! But did you have a panic attack after that ? For the next 2-3 hours I had constant feeling of dizziness and anxiety !
Does your heart beat really fast during these episodes
When you made this video, I had never heard of vasovagal syncope. I was a happy human, enjoying walks and long hikes for three or four days (with camping gear on my back). In 2020, I clearly remember the time and the day (August 21) I felt a bit off, to be honest I had not felt good for a few days but had no COVID symptoms and my tests were negative. I remember that they were putting in new driveways in our condos and that it was a beautiful summer day. I came home and my daughter, she is a nurse, bless her heart, she sees me and asks me if I am okay. I said no, I am not feeling the greatest. I ended up in the ER and was bored to tears as the pandemic was in full swing here in Canada, and we were not allowed visitors. In the evening a doctor came by, finally I thought, I am going home. Turns out, he is a friend of mine. I am like, Jamie, don't you know who I am? He looks at the record, which has my full Dutch name on it, and is confused, how did I know his name? I pulled my mask down a little, and he goes like: Al??? Oh, my word! You never want a doctor to say those words.... uncontrolled aneurysm. Okay... so what medication do I take, and when can my wife come pick me up? I was hungry, had been in the hospital since 11:30 AM, and now it was 6:30 PM, no water, no food, I was not allowed to walk around either. Uh, no, you are staying with us for a while. What seemed to be tests going on forever, I ended up in a nice private room - courtesy of Jamie. I had quad by pass and after coming home, feeling a new human, well... okay slowly does it.... I remember the day, December 29, I was working from home, felt tired, so tired, yawning, my wife was saying that I yawned so much. I felt clammy, not well, but I thought: Let me go lay down in bed. I never made it to the bed, that was the first time in my life I fainted. I think I was out for maybe 5 seconds or shorter, and stood up to go lay in bed. BP was so low it was not even funny. I felt terrible. Of course, we thought it was the old ticker, but not this time. All blood work came back without issues. This was the first time I heard the term vasovagal syncope. Everyone just behaved like nothing happened. I had sustained some damage during surgery, the doctor mentioned. I learned about my triggers, I educated myself about the vagus nerve and nerve X and the interactions between signals from the brain to the heart and so on. Today I learned to live with it, I am back on walks, but not so brisk and not so far. I have turned older, I feel exhausted most of my days. I have had many heart scans and research and tubes and sensors in me, I think they know me better from the inside than I know myself from the outside. I do have a strong opinion that VVS is not just the cardiovascular system, research from many universities, but the study at the University of Alberta, here in Canada, actually wrote about the possibility of nerve and cardiovascular systems not working well together. It was an eye-opener, and I contacted the researchers. We are now almost 2.5 years after my first incident, and I have had at least 5 where I passed out. I lay down in the grass beside the trail and people run up to me. Please let me lay down for a few moments, I am alright. Fetch me my water bottle, please. At work, my co-workers know what (not) to do. Just let him sit or lay down. And they are very understanding and accommodating. Yes, it is perfectly fine to live with VVS, don't paint a target on your back, is what my grandpa always said. And he survived WWII
I have been recently diagnosed and I genuinely appreciate this video DR we need more doctors like you!
Anyone else had this enough that they're feeling light headed just listening to him describe it?
I just feel lightheaded all the time, so it’s hard to say, lol.
Very interesting. You have taught me so much, that my cardiologist never told me about. Bless you Sir.
Thanks, I thought I was dying lol. Absolutely hands down the worse feeling I've ever felt physically and mentally at once. Good to know more about the collapse episodes, and what to even call them!
you explained this really well !!!
My hubby has this, and he passes out when he has blood taken , it even happens when he hears people talking about anything medical , it can be scary !!!
This happens to me also, normally anything medical related.
Same! Needles, blood,and surgery or seeing medical procedures. Ever since I was 5.
Same with my daughter.
Thank you so much for your explanation on vadovagal. I had a tilt table test years ago after years of symptoms and was told I had this. No real explanation was.given. I've been scared for years. So thanks for doing what you do. You're a Godsend. Knowledge is power and takes away my stress over it💗
Thank you billions ,doc, all information you have provided is much appreciated, I generally suffer of this when I am about to vomit or nauseated and it's very painful to see my parents to get worried . Thank you
THANK YOU ! The best explanation yet ! I went to the doctor and for tests too, no luck. Been dealing with this for over 2 years.
Thank you for this clear explanation of my vasovagal attacks...I'm 88 and now know I need more water, and salt in my diet to avoid such frequent episodes.
I am a cardiac patient and this doctor is fantastic at explaining the various heart disorders. He's becoming my guru. 🙂❤
You're welcome - it'd mean a tonne if you'd consider subscribing to the channel
Very informative... I had vasovagal this morning the doctor diagnosed me with it and said I should watch this video so can make me understand it even better
thank you!!!
We are so grateful to you Dr. Gupta. You are one of the very best and a true hero to us all.
Love and peace to everyone.
Thank you Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
Your Patients are Blessed.
This has been the most accurate and informative video that I have ever heard about vasovagal. My experience with Vasovagal goes back about three years. The first experience was due to me taking physillium husk which it’s intended purpose is to push out bile from the colon. Not understanding how to take this detox husk, I failed to drink plenty of water before during and after and experience my first exposed which was not properly diagnosed by the doctor! I was diagnosed with syncope. The second experience came from me having the sensation of trying to use the restroom and straining. Which I knew better not too, but i did, and I started feeling the palpitations and all of the warning signs etc. well last night, I almost experience the full effect of vasovagal, however, I took the advance warning signs and started to lay down with my feet up, I started to drink water, event water with cayenne pepper to stimulate the blood flow, and I then got some rest. Today I am better and I am so happy that I was able to beat it this time before it beat me!!
It's very common and hereditary, yet there is no cure and it's potenitally debilitating to quality of life. I have it and I wish for a cure.
I do too😔
Nicole Brown me 2 🙏🏻
Viper CRB debilitating is definitely correct. I tried to explain that to my mother what was happening and I feel side affects daily.
Do you ever feel sick with the symptoms for days but never pass out?
@@VivianGalespiritproductions definitely
Thank you Dr Gupta I’ve suffered with this for a while. I recognize when it’s happening and try to lie down. Thanks for the great info!
Thank you Dr.Gupta for this explanation. Now I understand why and how to deal with this. I wished that my doctor would told me what you just said in this video. Thanks a lot.
Hi, I nearly had an episode yesterday whilst having my hair cut. I found this video very informative and helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule and make such videos. I being a viewer only can say that it is more than charity work done by you.God bless you.
This was a Godsend. I have a "habit" of fainting and it comes to me out of nowhere and the symptoms always hit first. I've had every test and my heart is fine. I am told each time it's "vasovagal syncope" but yes; it is EXTREMELY disruptive to my life, incredibly frightening and very depressing.
Finally a good video on the subject.
Thank you!
Very clear and informative. Thank you.
Very helpful video. Thank you Dr.
Hi, I've been searching through google and youtube, so far this is the best video I've found for my situation. I noticed this symptom happening to me 3 times in my life.
1) Had a car accident, a lot of blood was coming out from my cut lips
2) during an acupuncture where I only tested a single needle on my arm whilst sitting down.
3) when my son was almost done with his circumcision.
The last part did feel embarrassing and useless because at that moment my mind was all about wanting to be the best dad that stands by his son going through pain. I didn't faint but I could feel my whole upper body slowly losing blood pressure.
This is the video that my me subscribe. And Finally I get some proper tips on treating/avoiding this symptom. Other sources only tell me to completely avoid the situation by being somewhere else. NOT helpful at all.
Your videos are always very informative and helpful!
That was so informative.I came out of hospital yesterday after an over night stay due to aVasovagal episode.You have put me at ease and now due to your explanation I know how to avoid it happening again.Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for the video. I just turned 50 and finally have an answer. I used to faint as a child when it was hot but has returned in full force about five years ago. Comes on suddenly and typically in the morning. Thank you!
Great explanation, thank you. I relate to everything you said.
When we were at the vet to have pins removed from our dog's leg, we were in there with the vet. He started cutting off the cast and I could feel the symptoms come. Tunnel vision, vision started to go black around the edges, whooshing in my ears, felt weak and a little sick. So I went out and sat in the reception. I wanted to lie down, but was too embarrassed. The symptoms passed after a while though.
As you said, the initial symptoms are a warning and gives you time to do something about it.
Excellent video. Very informative easy to understand. Perfect! Thank you Dr. Gupta
Long story short, it took about 4 years to figure this out. The good thing is, I know it’s not Cardiac related. I’ve had an eco, heart catheter, ct with contrast and I’m sure something else. I just have to learn how to deal with this. Thanks for listening
Do you know what it is ?
Its happing to me
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THESE ARTICLES, THEY HAVE HELPED ME A LOT.
I love how he explains things so simply so you understand. And his examples are amazing.. I’m on a monitor now for 2 weeks.
And I have waited 7 month from my hospital discharge to get this done. I finally see the doctor in August. When I was discharged from the hospital last November I was told I might need a pacemaker. Then I had a colonoscopy in May and was told I was in a Bundle branch block. I called and reported to my primary care doctor and he said he was not worried about a BBB. Then I ended up in the hospital again. Then I was told I had a slow rate and a ventricular tachycardia. I was shocked .
Started watching your vids because of my PVCs, and now I'm passing out from this. Been to the ER 3 times and every time I asked what I can do if it happens again. They gave me no advice! So thank you so much for this! Always an informational life saver!!
thank you!!!!

Hi sir, I’m in such despair and getting no help from gastro consultant , GPS , cardiology etc
Please can you help❤️?
For over a decade Iv gone through my nose torn and hanging off , my head burning against a hot radiator , so many blows to the head ,
My blackouts all started after my gall bladder was removed because tiny stones were blocking in the bile duct,
Since I have food blocking under my left breast ( swelling like a football)
Even using laxatives and lactose medicine to try to free this , I still get regular episodes were I end up violently sick , were the waste ends up erupting out of both ends / vomiting and diarrhoea and while this is happening I blackout ,
I feel My heart struggling to pump , my legs go into spasms and cramps ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE,
I feel I’m not getting any nutrients to my brain and body, Iv lost nearly all my teeth , can’t grow my nails ,my hairs gone thin,
My entire body bones muscles etc are in chronic pain including daily headaches ,skin rashes etc
And I get more and more wrongly diagnosed,
Fibromyalgia, arthritis,
Hypothyroidism,
High white blood 🩸
I really think I have a blockage and it’s leaking into my body POISONING MY ENTIRE SYSTEM 😢
And no one is listening
This has happened to me every so often through out my life, even as a child. I have learned to lie down with my feet up as soon as I feel it happening and it is prevented.
This is an extremely helpful video, thank you Dr. Gupta!
Thank you, Dr. Gupta. I used to faint in church as I had to be fasting for communion. I stopped going to church , The Lord has provided, with positive results. No more vasovego.
Fasting is one hour prior to eucharist. That can be 30 minutes before mass as eucharist is in last part of mass. I teach catechism 2nd grade and this is what we tell our first communion students. Hope this helps.
I hope that in not going to church you still have confidence in Jesus' presence.
I also faint in churches or any places that holds a suffocating mix of the strong smell of flowers and candles. I used to joke about the incapability of Jesus to romance me and/or being a non practising witch living on a more openminded era as a coping mechanism.
Excellent video, Doctor! Thank you!
The first time this happened to me, I was at the top of the stairs and woke up at the bottom....put a hole in the wall with my head. So that was fun. Fortunately I know now what it feels like when it's about to happen.
Yeah... I doubt you have vasovagal syndrome is your problem. It is not that acute. You'll get enough warning to react.
Finding this super helpful. Was just recently hospitalized for passing out at work twice (sitting upright. All of the things you are saying make a lot of sense for me. Thank you for this video!!
Thank you for your video, Dr. Gupta. It was very informative and easy to understand!
I've been diagnosed with Vasovagal Syndrome a few years ago, after a tilt test, and just yesterday I fainted while visiting my uncle, who is in a cardiac UCI. It was embarrassing, but I was immediately assisted by the cardiologist and the nurses there and everything was ok. The doctor suggested I'd do a few more exams to make sure I don't have heart arritmia or something more serious. It was the second time I fainted in a month and it hadn't happened for a while.
Today I had a patient with this episode. Thank you for explaining this so well!
thank you for addressing this!
Dr. Gupta, thank you for this very informative video. I have had vasovagal syncope for quite a few years. I've learned to manage it, and do stay hydrated, and listen to my body. Your tips on how to avoid it will help people with this issue. Thanks again !
Wonderfully clear and helpful. Thank you!
Your videos are brilliant, really informative and thorough, thank you very much.
Very informative. Thank you doctor.
I got diagnosed with this a few years back. My episodes sometimes result in a panic attack. Also, pre-episode, I yawn a lot and my eyelids get really droopy. I have never passed out. These episodes occur daily for me and the worse ones occur around once a week. Around once every 6 months, I get a bad one that result in a panic attack. Once a year it ends up as a seizure. Luckily, I am 13 now and I can manage them better. Hope this helps someone!
bexnmoo wonder if that’s my problem ! I feel side effects daily, but I’ve had resyncope at least once a month, and it’s awful! I hate it! And mine gets triggered by upset tummy! Whether heat, coffee, etc causes it, but anyway, when the syncope comes on, I the symptoms I’ve felt, EMS said sounded like a panic attack.
Do you have any tips for avoiding it like any exercises
How are you doing now?
I've suffered from this at every shot. thank you so much for helping me understand!
My experience with vasovagal syncope started when I was 16. It has happened numerous times theought thr years, often resulting in a faint, but I have since learned to lay on the cool bathroom floor until I feel more stable. But, my trigger seems to be limited to gastrointestinal problems. Not exactly sure what does it, but I get wicked pain in stomach, feel super hot, get crazy sweaty, my ears are ringing super loud, vision fades out and everything becomes shadowy and then I pass out. It's probably irritable bowel or something, but its always been centered around going to the bathroom in my case. It's horrible. The last time it happened I had fallen off the toilet, smashed my tricep on the garbage can and the can got pushed into the drywall. I was ok, but I had a HUGE, NASTY bruise for a good month!
Omg literallt this is happening to me rn. The last time i fainted was also becahse of gut pain 😂 😅😅
@cebo I feel like I maybe ate something that disagreed with me, and then the sudden onset of "gotta go, now!" mixed with constipation for days typically results in my insides trying to kill me. Not fun.
I have the same peoblem . Always relates to tummy trouble.
I have exactly the same!
@@jenniferkokk7065 it can be pretty scary, especially when you're not at home. I've had it happen at school and at the mall, not fun! If you can, lay down, less likely to.hurt yourself
Thank you, Dr. Gupta. It is very helpful.
Excellent and informative presentation.
Love the shirt and the man in it! Thanks, Sanjay!
Thank you Dr. Gupta. My friend enjoyed your informative video very much. He says it confirms what the Lord told him. Many thanks and every blessing.
Wow now I understand, You are an amazing Cardiologist.
I just fell in love. This is been happening to me for years and years. I have fallen so many times. I have so many scars on my face, eyes, body. I have been hospitalized numerous times and the doctors tell me nothing. I learned more in 15 minutes from this video than I ever learned from any of my doctors. The only problem I have is when I get the signs I get so confused I can't get to my bed or floor. My family always says well just go lay down but I can't get there so I end up falling. I thought it had to do with my sleep. doctors said possibly medication they've changed my medication still doesn't help. Thank you Doctor Gupta. You are amazing. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. You're just what I needed.
Great video , I learned lots from you. Thank you very much Sanjay .
You have informed me so well about what happened to me a few days ago. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video. I have been diagnosed with this and find you more informed/helpful than the Dr.’s I have encountered…it’s scary to faint.. I have had many episodes, especially the time I overdosed on alcohol, took a bath then fainted (heat + booze don’t mix…). Some stuff was said that I knew, but was provided (more) helpful
advice. Though you said it is NOT life threatening…my heart did stop for 30 seconds after I got out of the bath and into my room where the ambulance was: I was shocked back to life. Thankfully I have quit alcohol (I’m an alcoholic and getting help to stay sober). Also, not enough rest has caused symptoms as well so I have taken action to make sure I get enough rest (in college I didn’t get enough sleep so I got symptoms and laid my head down then laid on my bed…this happened during class).Anyway, Great video, I think, and, again, thank you.
I was recently diagnosed with this, but given little information or advice. This video has been very helpful, thank you!
thank you!
Thank you for explaining this annoying condition in a way that, even I ,can understand it. It was too cute when your pooch started barking in the background. I felt like your pooch was listening to your presentation and was reminding you not to forget to say certain things.
Thanks Doc!🤗
Sir, thanks a lot for your informative video
Thank you alot doctor and GOD bless you .
thanks Yassir!
Most of my life I've fainted when having blood drawn or injections. I've always had very low blood pressure so I thought it was connected but never confirmed. Then I experienced my heart stopping twice during two separate procedures involving my uterus! (During hysterectomy surgery and years earlier during removal of an IUD birth control device.) I followed up with a top cardiologist after the surgical episode who did a lot of testing and told me that I could virtually be 'scared to death' and some day I would need a pacemaker because my condition (sometimes racing erratic heartbeat, sometimes too slow heartbeat) could not be control with a drug. Twenty six years later I did have the pacemaker implant because with aging the paroxysmal Afib was becoming more frequent. During all of those times spent with specialists, no one has ever told me of the many Afib triggers to avoid and outlined the whole physiology like Dr. Gupta. Bless you, bless you.
The fabulous Dr Gupta
I’ve had these since 18 yrs old and I’m 60 now ...last month I broke 5 ribs and had partial lung collapse ...as you get older it’s much more serious ie bones start breaking
Thanks doc , I’m 32 yr old, i have exp this 5-6 times, finally i consulted cardio and was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope, you video excellent..
Fabulous video. Both my sister and I suffer from this and thank you for explaining it so well.
Hi Dr. Thanks for educating... Had a similar episode today... My doctor even here at a India's premier educational institute (IITk) did not educate me enough, and just told me take rest... Thanks a ton 😇
beautiful explanation sir thank you.. Keep doing such vedios sir
Very helpful. Thank you. Thank you.
Very informative…. Helped me understand what I’m going through
My doctors are amazing, and this video is very helpful. I got this, thanks for sharing
First of all thanks for sharing your knowledge.. never heard such an good explanation including every points. 👏👏👏
I always had this problem in my entire life of 3O years. Was so embarrassing.. as myself a doctor. Sometimes even mentally attached.
My trigger factors are pain, watching medical procedures like surgery, sight of blood, crowd, heat, loud noise, wearing very tight cloths , emotional stress, trying to stop the natural urges and of course sitting or standing for a long time.
Tips helping me : having salty nuts and chocolate handy, breathing exercises, avoid triggering factors
Medstudent... Actually just had to study this for sem exams...And now I've self diagnosed! Glad my almost fainting episodes are nothing to worry about. Thanks a bunch!
Exactly same condition of mine
Nice one :)
I (Thankfully) had one episode of VVS back in 2010 where I took the most average of showers (around uni exam time mind) just after I had woke up where I felt distinctly hungry, and as I was about to get out of the shower patting my face with a towel - I went blind as fast as a lightswitch. I was blind for a total of around 5 minutes, first blinking hard etc to try figure out what was going on, then opening the bathroom door to let air in, before finally deciding to feel my way to my bedroom and lay down. At which point my vision slowly crackled back. I had no sensation of vertigo, sickness, disorientation or dizzyness, only a horrible feeling or fear of impending/encroaching death - and sadly I had noone around me at the time to confide in so I spent the day afraid it would happen again. These days I am simply careful especially pre-showers in terms of food, and mindful of what my body is saying :)
You are a godsend for me i have been prone to fainting and blackouts for many years and still is at 82 but mine is related to heart problems thank you for all your videos
Excellent explanation.
it's great to know I'm not ill
Cheers Doc
Thank-you so much for this information, very useful and helpful advice xx
This consultant knows exactly what he's talking about and has some real passion for what he's talking about too. He isn't shy of mentioning staying away from conventional treatments where necessary as there are natural alternatives sometimes.
Thank u doc. Ur explaination is fantastic. It happened with my mom today n docs here in India are scaring shit out of us.. thanks for the wonderful explaination. I owe u a party for that..
Big thanks. Most helpful. Blessings
Thank you for this video. Glad I found you. My daughter suffers from this.
can relate to this.. very precisely...trying out the salt water, sugar.. will come back and tell.
You have our highest respect for your effective, natural and honest work. Sir!🌱🧚
I learned thanks to your excellent explanation, thank you!
Thanks Doc very informative :)
So helpful. Thank you so much. 😊
Dear Doctor, I am in my 40s. I am into regular exercise, eat healthy. But whenever I do diet control, which is completely for health reason, I encounter similar issues that you describe in this video. Thank you for this wonderful video 🙏
Could be vitamin b deficiency. I've been researching this
I was diagnosed with this. I can feel it coming on... and it is almost always if I am going to vomit. I have learned not to do it over the toilet!
That’s usually when it happens for me, I do everything to keep from throwing up. I hate the feeling, but it’s mostly anxiety.
I have this from vomiting also. It can trigger atrial fibrillation in me
