Suggest Treatment For Vasovagal Syncope, Drop In Heart Rate And BP Level
Yes emotional stress trigger vasovagal attack
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for your query.
I have thoroughly read your query and deeply understand your concern.
Yes, stress or excessive fear triggers vasovagal response resulting in fainting or syncope due to a sudden drop in your heart rate and blood pressure.
Vasovagal syncope is usually harmless and requires no treatment. But it's possible you may injure yourself during a vasovagal syncope episode.
Normally it doesnot require any treatment. I would suggest-
-Foot exercises, wearing compression stockings or tensing your leg muscles when standing
-Increasing salt in your diet if you don't usually have high blood pressure.
-Avoid prolonged standing & especially in hot, crowded places & drink plenty of fluids.
-Prescription medication(Midodrine) in severe cases to prevent such episodes if it cannot be managed conservatively.
Unintentional weight loss of 12 lbs/week is definitely medically significant and needs a detailed work up for identifying the cause of unexplained weight loss( hormonal disorders, diabetes, infections like tuberculosis etc).
Please feel free to revert for further queries.
