Suggest Treatment For Vasovagal Syncope

I have black out or fainting spells. I was told that I suffer from vaco-vaso syncope. I was also told my body does not produce enough of it s own salt. Normally, I have a spell and then I won t have one again for awhile, months, even a year. I passed out yesterday at home and then again today while on the bus. The strange twist to this was I also was vomiting, all water. I am getting scared now to be out in public by myself. What else could be wrong?

to prevent vasovagal syncope you should take the following precaution

never change your posture suddenly
take some time in changing your posture
suppose if you want to stand up from lying postion first hang your feets out of your bed for 30second then sit on bed for 30seconds and then stand up...in this way a sudden drop of blood pressure can be avoided and recurrent vasovagal attacks can be prevented

use pressure band on your legs they help pumping blood back from veins to heart
pressure banding is important

try to add high salt to your diet salt increases water retention and maintain bp

tolvaptan 15mg tablet can be taken if yiur are chronic huponatremic
