  1. Any thoughts for neurocardiogenic syncope? Pacemakers have not been shown to be helpful, nor the
    counterintuitive betablockers, nor florinef, nor high fluids intake. Anyone have any success with
    paxil? It's been being tried for a few years.

    What you have is dangerous, my wife died last year from a similar condition. How old are
    you and have you had LUNG problems from smoking or breathing Dangerous fumes?? What part of
    the country do you live. Do you take supplements od any kind..this may be the simpest
    answer?? B-0b1

  4. Hi Robert, I am not speaking about myself, but I am interested in the subject as there is little
    bonafide treatment for neurocardiogenic syncope. The last thing that makes normal pathophysiologic
    sense in the condition is that it's triggered by reduced blood return to the heart, such as occurs
    with mild dehydration or simply low fluid intake. Gil

  5. Further note about neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS): I understand paxil *may* help, that pacemakers
    have not proven to be helpful, that beta blockers have not panned out to be helpful either. (They
    were used with the idea that there was an abnormal heart reflex response to underfilling and that
    the reflex could be reduced by beta blockers.

    I understand that optimization of diet and environment can make a huge difference if one is out of
    balance with respect to them: excesses or deficiencies of any element of the dietary intake.
    (potassium, magnesium, selenium, protein, water, B6, B12, etc ...). I understand support stockings
    may help maintain blood return to the heart from the legs. I understand avoidance of prolonged
    standing or sitting without leg contraction is paramount. And of course, one would need to avoid
    medicines that might trigger a bodily drying effect or perhaps blood pressure lowering.

    NCS is often broken down into vasodepressor (blood pressure lowering) and cardioinhibitory (rate
    slowing) types. While both are often present, one element often predominates. The heart may have
    regular electrical activity despite the subject being unconscious on the floor without a palpable
    pressure or rate.
