Overview
- Because vasovagal syncope may be precipitated by the sight of blood, loss of blood, sudden stressful or painful experiences, surgical manipulation, or trauma, a history of childhood syncope may provide a clue to the cause of vasovagal syncope in adults.
- Most patients have a prodome such as nausea, diaphoresis, lightheadedness, blurred vision, headaches, palpitations, paraesthesia, and pallor which usually occur in the upright position and resolve almost immediately when the patient assumes the supine position.
- Patients may also complain of a “washed out” and tired feeling.
