What is Vasovagal Syncope?
  • Vasovagal syncope happens when you faint because
    your body overreacts to specific triggers, like
    the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress.
    It might also be called neurocardiogenic syncope.
  • The vasovagal syncope trigger causes your heart
    rate and blood pressure to drop unexpectedly.
    That leads to decreased blood flow to your brain,
    causing you to briefly lose consciousness.
  • Vasovagal syncope is generally harmless and needs
    no treatment. But it is possible that you might
    injure yourself during a vasovagal syncope
    episode. Your doctor might recommend tests to
    rule out more-severe causes of fainting, like
    heart disorders.

Symptoms Of Vasovagal Syncop
  • Before you faint because of vasovagal syncope,
    you might experience some of the following
  • Pale skin
  • Light-headedness
  • Tunnel vision your field of vision decreases so
    that you see only what's in front of you
  • Nausea
  • Feeling warm
  • A cold, clammy sweat
  • Blurred vision
  • During a vasovagal syncope episode, bystanders
    might notice
  • Jerky, abnormal movements
  • A slow, weak pulse
  • Dilated pupils

Causes Of Vasovagal Syncope
  • Vasovagal syncope happens when the part of your
    nervous system that regulates heart rate and
    blood pressure malfunctions in response to a
    trigger, like the sight of blood.
  • Your heart rate slows down, and the blood vessels
    in your legs widen (dilate). This enables blood
    to pool in your legs, which lowers your blood
    pressure. Combined, the drop in blood pressure
    and slowed heart rate quickly decrease blood flow
    to your brain, and you faint.
  • Sometimes there is no classical vasovagal syncope
    trigger, but common triggers are
  • Standing for long periods of time
  • Heat exposure
  • Seeing blood
  • Having blood drawn
  • Fear of bodily injury
  • Straining, like having a bowel movement
