Suggest Treatment For Neurocardiogenic Syncope
My daughter who is 17 has neurocardiogenic syncope and has had it for 20 month. she has had 20 episodes in the past two weeks(over 100 in 20 months). Doctors are only prescribing Lexapro. Is there something else they could be trying. They just seem to pass her from doctor to doctor with no real understanding and it seems she is getting worse.

There is no such term neurocardiogenic syncope. It is either neurogenic or cardiogenic and management will depend upon type and it's cause. So get following tests done
ECG
24 has holter monitoring
2 do echo
BP measurement in supine and standing
Brain imaging...MRI scan
EEG.
Consult your neurologist.
Hope my advice will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.
