Suggest Therapy For Vasovagal Syncope

Currently I have vasovagal syncopy and narcolepsy. I am on propranolol, nuvigil, and prozac. I had an atypical episode (from what I am used to having) where I suddently felt nauseated, then was told to lay down (by my family). I was told that I was completely white in the face. I layed down and apparently was staring, able to move my eyes but unable to respond or move. Cold water packs were used as always for my syncopy episodes but it took about an hour for me to recover. I recall parts of the episode but not all of it. When I was unresponsive but moving my eyes, my family picked me up to move me and I was told that I passed out unconscious. During the unresponsive episode, I was told that my face and feet were gray and mottled. I do recall feeling numb and tingly in my hands and feet. Unfortunatley, I did not get evaluated thinking this was a syncope episode. Do these sypmtoms indicate syncope just in an atypical or more severe way? Or, does this indicate something else that I need to consider. I have never been diagnosed with epilepsy. this is the only episode that has occurred with these symptoms.

Hello,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your symptoms are of epilepsy attack and you need epileptic drugs continually for a minimum 1 year.

It's recommended for you to consult a neurologist personally for proper diagnostic evaluation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
