My daughter from age 14-16 has had several episodes of passing out, she would be out for 10 minutes. We took her to pediatric cardiologists, endocrinologists and neurologists. She was finally diagnosed with Autonomic nervous dysfunction and was medicated with fludrocort. She seems to have mostly outgrown this but her most recent episode was while driving and a deer ran out in front of her, the fear of it caused her to pass out. Her boyfriend was on the phone with her when it happened, he heard her scream and then nothing but the car radio. He went looking for her the way she had gone home and found her passed out, her car had gone off the road and was sitting against an embankment. The biggest danger is where they are when this happens, driving, or on a hard floor or hitting something on the way down.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you collapse after standing for long periods?
When you stand for a long time, it may cause your knees to buckle resulting in a vaso-vagal reaction. When this happens, there is a decrease in blood pressure which can make a person collapse or faint.
Does CPAP machine impact vaso-vagal syncope?
A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine primarily treats obstructive sleep apnea by maintaining open airways during sleep. While it may not directly impact vaso-vagal syncope, which is often related to autonomic nervous system responses, improved sleep quality and oxygenation from CPAP use can potentially reduce the frequency of syncopal episodes in individuals whose fainting is linked to sleep apnea. It’s essential for patients to consult their healthcare provider to assess the relationship between their specific conditions.

During a vasovagal attack, it's best to eat small, balanced meals that include complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
