  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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 Get More Details Information Click Here
