I fainted two days ago in the middle of the night in a hotel all by myself , I hurt my self badly, big cut in my forehead as well as several incisions in the back of my head. I was completely out for about 2 to 3 hours until I finally came back. This is not the first time I faint, but it is the first I really hurt myself plus I was alone. I was diagnosed in mexico city in a hospital by a neurosergeon as having had a "Sincope Neurocardiogenico" do not know how to translate that into english. How serious is this? Can this be cured or at least controlled? I travel a lot by myself for working reasons, I am 53, and I need to travel, needless to say I am very scared this may happen again!!
