Vasovagal syncope. Vasovagal syncope is a sudden loss of consciousness mediated by the vagus nerve. It occurs when the vagus nerve is overreactive to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress, and causes a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Fainting brought on by a rapid drop in blood pressure and heart rate is considered a positive result for vasovagal syncope. Rest assured that once the table is lowered, the patientâs heartbeat and circulation return to normal, and she regains consciousness.
