Hippie,,,you get your ass to a doctor and don't be fking around with **** that can cause you to fall and fk yourself up.
My Dad's stubborn ass wouldn't go to a doctor and it cost him his life.

Hippie:

If you won't lissen to yer Unca, lissen to a Moderator. You are having what amounts to brain oxygen starvation for whatever physical reason.

It ain't like you are in a marathon after your fourth vaxx. You were sitting at a table under no threat or fear or excitement...

What if you were in some situation that simply turned you into a good imitation of a carrot at a moment that could be deadly for you AND OTHERS??

Be responsible. Ignoring it will not result in anything but potential and large disaster.

That's one thing I don't fk around after watching my father die right in front of my eyes because he refused to go to doctors. Even the doctor said after his autopsy that he could have lived a lot longer had he been treated for his heart condition. He was 36 when he died and left me, my mom and my sister in a fked up situation.
I had to grow up really fast. I was 12yrs old my sister was 9.
He was like my hero and yes I loved him very much.

Nope. No weed today and the weather was beautiful. Wasn't the least bit overheated.

Have you ever taken your pulse rate or blood pressure at home during such an attack (yes attack your body is screaming something wrong here) could be nothing like you say , but if you have SS Medicare it is mostly all paid for test at our age.

The heart stress test is easy , if you can not do the treadmill they juice ya with a dye and do it without having to run.

Just getting your Blood O2 levels check (very simple slips on finger for 10secs) can tell them what may be going on.

this year not 15yrs ago?

What is swallowing syncope?​

Swallowing syncope is a rare form of syncope which occurs when the patient swallows food, and causes them to faint, or pass out.

What causes swallowing syncope?​

The reflexes which are started or initiated at the point of swallowing are what causes syncope. Swallowing syncope is rare, and may not occur every single time a patient swallows. Certain specific situations, with all the triggers ‘lining up’ as it were, are what cause swallow syncope to occur. This might be when a patient is relatively dehydrated, and it’s a warm day. Perhaps the patient is feeling relatively tired, and they then swallow a large chunk of food which has not been chewed properly, which gets stuck at the back of the throat (oropharynx), causing a slight coughing fit as well. This can trigger a complex reflex in which the brain then sends a signal to the heart to slow down (bradycardia) and to the vessels to pool blood (vasodilatation) which results in a low blood pressure, which causes patients to feel lightheaded, and if severe, to pass out completely.

However, the mechanism behind swallow syncope is still not completely understood.

What is the treatment for swallowing syncope?​

Treatment for swallow syncope focuses on the management of swallowing ‘properly’. This means taking small, bite-size pieces of food, chewing properly, and making sure to swallow at the ‘right’ moment.

Sometimes, patients will complain of swallow syncope only when eating certain types of stodgy foods (muffins, bagels) but not others (water, porridge), and in this case, often treatment is to be aware of the food types and quantities that can cause a problem and to avoid these in day to day diet.

In addition to this, the patient should make sure they are well-hydrated, and they do not find themselves in a situation where it is too warm, or too stuffy, and they are feeling unwell prior to the swallow. If the patient knows they are prone to having syncope while swallowing, then being more careful whilst swallowing and eating can help them to manage their syncope.

Will a pacemaker cure swallow syncope?​

Rarely, syncope occurs unpredictably with swallowing, and if this is a recurring problem, and interferes with quality of life, AND if the heart is shown to stop / slow during swallowing associated with reproduction of syncope symptoms, then a pacemaker may be beneficial. If you are considering this, please ask for an urgent referral to see a specialist who is an expert in syncope and pacemaker implantation.

Yeah the last two stress test I had was done with a shot instead of the treadmill. It doesn't take but about 4 minutes and it's pretty much over. Takes a few minutes to calm down but easier then the mill.
