What is Neurocardiogenic Syncope?
Neurocardiogenic Syncope, also commonly referred to as vasovagal syncope, is the most common cause of fainting. It is a general feeling of discomfort and uneasiness that occurs when the part of the nervous system that controls heart rate and blood pressure malfunctions in response to various triggers, such as extreme strain, stress or pain. The general sensation of not feeling well is quickly followed by fainting.
As with many types of health conditions, neurocardiogenic syncope is a condition that develops due to the nervous system not working properly, specifically the vagus nerve. Neurocardiogenic syncope or vasovagal syncope can affect people of all ages, but is particularly common in young women.

Causes of Neurocardiogenic Syncope and Vasovagal Syncope
Symptoms of Neurocardiogenic Syncope and Vasovagal Syncope
Neurocardiogenic syncope and vasovagal syncope almost always occur when a person is standing. It is much less common when seated or lying down.
The first signs of the condition are discomfort and uneasiness. They are followed by nausea, paleness, sweating, dizziness and a rapid heart rate. Fainting will usually follow within minutes. After the fainting, heart rate may slow and the person may feel flush and disoriented.
