What is a Vasovagal Reflex?
In order for you to stay concious, the ANS must keep the heart pumping oxygenated blood to your brain. A Vasovagal Reflex is the result of an exagerated responce by the ANS. This can result in nausea, or fainting. Fainting is not all that uncommon, and Vasovagal Reflex Syncope is the most common cause. Some individuals may only faint once in their lifetime, but others have repeated symptoms. Those with repeated symptoms are often diagnosed as having dysautonomia.
