What are the symptoms of vasovagle syncope?
human
My mother has had 3 episodes of what a doctor called vasovagal attack while traveling in the car with me (several others on her own in her home). The symptoms included an aura followed by unresponsiveness, spasms/seizures, vomiting then diarrhea, gradual return from lala land with prolonged weakness for the rest of the day. Having witnessed and dealt with these events firsthand, this diagnosis seems a little tame for what s happening to her. I mean this is no simple faint. Do you think vasovagal syncope covers this extreme attack?

Hi,The symptoms that you have described are more consistent with a diagnosis of seizure disorder rather than vasovagal syncope. In my opinion, an electroencephalogram (EEG) and brain imaging must be done for more information.Best wishes.
