Syncope........

Published

Hi all....... I am in need of some thoughts/critical thinking.

I went to my primary MD on Thurs due to 2 epsiodes of syncope each lasting

Any suggestions on what further questions I need to ask. I have asked about tx, was told that possibly beta blockers, but wanted to do the salt and fluid first, and cards did not set me up a follow up appt. Prim MD will call after Mon.

I still feel lightheaded at times, get SOB walking from the house to the driveway. I have no energy. Have been under a good deal of stress lately and thought that may have induced some of the symptoms. Im only in my mid 30's and otherwise healthy. I did have to go to ER about 4 yrs ago with chest pain and tingling of the L hand to which ER played it off to chondocondritis. My mother had an MI when she was 32.

Again, what other questions/information should I focus on to get them to give me a straight answer? Thanks in advance for any insight.

Have you worn a Holter yet? If so, has your doc mentioned a neuro work-up. Just to make sure nothin goin on in the ole noggin that could be causing the syncope.

Good luck. Hope all turns out well.
