Vasovagal or Syncope?

Today, I went to the doctor's office. I told them that sometimes I faint when people draw my blood. They drew my blood. I fainted in the hallway.I warned them.


** I looked up 'vasovagal' and 'syncope' online, because I thought they were 2 different "disorders" and people have told me on different occasions that I have both - but I read online that they're just the 2 words in the title of the same thing. Phew! That clears up my confusion, and I'm sure, yours.

Nice use of clip art.

If that is you in the picture, how did they reattach your head for you to drive home? I would be more concerned about the head detachment than the fainting...

I like the word syncope. I mean, I don't like that you have it, but what a cool word.

I have vasovagal syncope. Mine is triggered by hot morning showers. You want to talk about embarassment. I woke up to my husband pulling me out of the shower curtain that i was wrapped up in!!!!
