Vasovagal Attack

Vasovagal attack is a condition that can occur in people of any age and can be caused by various factors such as stress, illness, intense exercise, lack of fluid in the body, and prolonged standing. In this condition, a person experiences overactivation of the vagus nerve, which controls cardiac activity and regulates blood pressure.

During a vasovagal crisis, a person experiences a slowdown in heart rate and a decrease in blood pressure. This leads to decreased blood supply to the brain and other organs, which can cause dizziness, a feeling of weakness, pale skin, sweating, and in some cases, fainting.

It is important to note that a vasovagal crisis is not a serious condition and usually resolves quickly and safely, but in rare cases it can cause serious complications such as injury from a fall or loss of consciousness in hazardous conditions.

If you frequently experience symptoms of vasovagal crisis, you should see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Your doctor may order additional tests, such as an ECG, to rule out other cardiovascular diseases.

In most cases, treatment for vasovagal crises involves taking steps to prevent their occurrence. This may include lifestyle changes such as increasing fluid intake, regular exercise, reducing stress and eliminating other factors that may contribute to the development of a crisis.

In conclusion, vasovagal crisis is a fairly common condition that can occur in people of any age. If you experience symptoms of a vasovagal crisis, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. In most cases, treatment consists of preventing crises from occurring by changing lifestyle and eliminating factors that can lead to their development.

Syncope (SS) is not caused by a decrease in total cerebral blood flow, but by insufficiency of cerebral blood supply caused by impaired cardiac contractility in combination with postural hypotension (systolic stroke volume less than 45 ml) and increased blood viscosity. Cerebrovascular crises are based on cerebral hypoperfusion due to impaired systemic hemostasis (antiphospholipid syndrome, diabetes mellitus). The diagnosis of “Vasomotor crisis” is made 20 minutes after the return of consciousness; if it is then disrupted for another 30 minutes, the diagnosis of SS is justified.
