Question : What is venous vaga
Brief Answer:
vasovagal syncope
Detailed Answer:
Hi
XXXX
Your son passes out sometimes due to a condition called vasovagal syncope.
Vasovagal syncope is one of the most common causes of fainting. Vasovagal syncope occurs when your sons body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress.
The vasovagal syncope trigger causes a sudden drop in your heart rate and blood pressure. That leads to reduced blood flow to your brain, which results in a brief loss of consciousness.
Vasovagal syncope is usually harmless and requires no treatment. But it's possible you may injure yourself during a vasovagal syncope episode. Also, your doctor may recommend tests to rule out more-serious causes of fainting, such as heart disorders.
Hope i have answered your query.
