Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
There is not a specific treatment for these episodes. The main thing to do is to avoid the triggering factor.
Anyway, I would recommend performing some tests to exclude other possible causes that may mimic this clinical situation:
- complete blood count for anemia
- fasting glucose and glucose tolerance test
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes
- Head Up Tilt test for possible orthostatic intolerance.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best regards, Dr. Aida
