                                            Question : I was diagnosed 12 years ago and 2 weeks ago with vasovagal or neurcardiogenic syncopacy.  I have been having episodes since I was 12.  They went away, came back, went away and came back again this February when I was admitted to a cardiac ward for three days with extreme low blood pressure, pvcs and pacs, and slow heart rate that was dropping to 27 beats a minute when I was sleeping.  They switched my medicine and I was still blacking out until even today when I almost blacked out 5 times on another medicine.  Here's the thing about a week before my menstruation I feel bad. Sometimes blood pressure goes  to 140 to 180 over something.  I can barely breathe.  I have syncopacy episodes.  Blood pressure drops obviously.  I skipped an entire period in February when I was due for my menstruation during my stay at hospital.  Had cramps but nothing else.  I have seen so many specialist.  Endrocrinologist, neurologist, cardiologist, and electrophsiologist.  Who do I go see that will listen to this relation that I see between my hormones and these episodes.  This is tiring, depressing and unknowing.  Also getting expensive!!
                            
                                    Brief Answer:
You should consult a gynaecologist.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
In my opinion you should consult a gynaecologist because there is definite relationship between hormone and your vasovagal syncope.
Hormone replacement therapy is very effective in your case.
I have seen improvement in vasovagal syncope in many female after hormonal replacement therapy.
Please consult a gynaecologist and get your examination done and revert back to me.
I hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.
