Q

What is vasovagal syncope?

A

A sudden fall in systemic vascular resistance without a compensatory increase in cardiac output as a result of vaggotonia. It can be caused by trauma, stress, painful experience, sight of blood etc. Can be preceded by many s/s including nausea, weakness, lightheadness, yawning or sinking feeling
