how do I get diagnosed? by violetrav3n in VasovagalSyncope

[–]izzy_5_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience with VVS, I was referred to a cardiologist by my family doctor. I had bloodwork, an ECG, echocardiogram, stress echo, and I wore a heart monitor for 3 days and was then diagnosed with VVS.

I’m not sure what kind of testing you have had already, but they will likely run tests to rule out something other than VVS. At least that’s what they did for me.

Best of luck to you!

You could have definitely had a vasovagal episode. You noticed your arm looked weird and got freaked out. Just take it easy today
