Its the little things that we forget- that can help make a difference!

If you are struggling like me with vaso vagal syncope - keep drinking plenty water.

Im really struggling today!

Apparently our veins open up to cool us down so those of us with vaso vagal are in for double trouble

It has long been recognised that people who are dehydrated are prone to fainting and if you struggle with vasovagal syncope then you need to drink considerably more than the average of 1.5 litres of fluid that is advised for the average healthy adult. Don't forget to include salt in your diet unless you have been advised against this by your doctor, of course. STARS has a fact sheet - You are what you eat - a guide to healthy eating for patients with vasovagal syncope and PoTS - If anyone would like a copy please email [e-mail]
