Pregnancy with Syncope

Hello. Does anyone have any experience with getting pregnant with syncope?

I was diagnosed with Reflex Syncope 15 years ago and I have been taking midodrine, slow sodium and potassium. My husband and I want to try for a baby but I have been told I cannot take midodrine whilst im trying to get pregnant. I have tried to come off it with no luck. I have been in contact with my specialist syncope nurse and she does not know what the solution is.

Thank you, Hayley.
