I have near vasovagle syncope. Could there be a connection between the syncope and my pinched sciatic nerve that is causing pain when I walk. Age 63, 116 lbs., 5 4 . I was recently put on blood pressure meds. Outside of that, no other health problems. I had a cat scan, 2 blood workups, wore a cardic monitor for nine days and even with the near fainting recorded, my heart was fine, so was the cat scan and blood work.
