i have been dx with vasovagal syncope . i have within the last 7 months fainted as many as 6-9 times in a day. i have been dealing with this for years but 7 mo ago it went from an occasional faint spell to quite often. i had a pacemaker put in 3 yrs ago for bradycardia but my cardiologist says there is nothing wrong with my pacer and that its not heart related. can u possibly tell me what i need to do to have a normal life again. i cant work, drive, be by myself and i think im going into alzheimers because my memory is bad just x 7 mo
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Vast legal syncope is a common illness. Cardiac arrhythmia can be responsible for this. I noted that you had a pacemaker implanted for a possible bradycardia. This makes you quite safe, and you should be able to resume all normal activities. Regarding memory impairment, please get a check-up done. It could be related to anxiety, vitamin B 12 deficiencies, etc. A brain scan would also help in diagnosing any underlying brain disease such as ischemia (less blood flow). Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
