Yes, it's very refreshing. Well paced, relaxed, well enunciated, and not shouting!

Thank you, this was very helpful as I have actually discovered the things you tell us do apply to me. It's good to have that confirmation.

I also find that just being in the best cardio-vascular health I can be minimizes the impact of things that seem to trigger an episode. Biking, walking, working out, all with appropriate warm-up and cool-down.

Oh yes but then people with this problem like me I sometimes feel like fainting after exercise even after taking walks....

@@undeadMahrukh I understand. This is why I would emphasize, even over-emphasize the cool-down period. I can't just stop. If I stop, and my level of exertion drops quickly, that's when I feel faintness coming on. I have to make the "exertion drop" a long and slow one. One of the things I especially do, after exertion, is continue with steady, heavy and deep breathing, filling my lungs repeatedly, to full capacity, with oxygen as though I'm still exerting myself. This, I'm convinced, keeps my heart rate and blood pressure from dropping too sharply and keeps my blood/brain oxygenated. It allows me to "cool down" slowly without becoming faint.

Every afternoon, I get these episodes, without fail. My problem is I'm constantly told to restrict water & salt intake (28 yrs of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, 15% LVEF, BiV-ICD, persistent AF). Pedialyte Sport contains 650mg Na, 600mg K, 190mg P, 55mg Mg, 920mg Cl, and 7g sugar per serving. This concoction helps, but these episodes never go away. Taking 25mg x Carvedilol for rate control, but HR can fluctuate from 41bpm to 125bpm in seconds. Pulmonary HTN RVSP 56 mm Hg. Still working on how to reduce/manage these episodes effectively.

My dad had 3 episodes i last few years, in the recent one it got a bit escalated in which, he started coughing it was kinda aggressive cough and by the time my mum reached towards him to check on him/offer water he fell on his bed, his eyes turned blood red, his eye balls were pointing in some random direction, he was totally unresponsive and his body started jerking all his body hands legs everything were shaking! It looked like he’s having a seizure it lasted for upon 10 secs not more than than! After that he immediately went normal and and in next 1-2 secs he was like “what had happened to me?”. Doctors said it might have looked like a seizure but it most likely was cough syncope. Anyone reading this please provide with whatever opinion you have if you know anything about these kind of episodes

Could we have a bottle of water filled with salt? So we can be able to carry it in public instead of food or a plain bag of salt. But since we need both salt and water sounds like a good idea. Unless the fact that u combine them may reduce the effectiveness but i dont know. So please advice me. Thank you!

If you have a tendency to syncope or low blood pressure, your doctor may advise you to increase your salt intake. Suggestions may include a packet of crisps, olives, salted nuts or sprinkling a little salt on a meal. Adding salt to your water bottle is not generally suggested as drinking salty water cannot be that pleasant. Some patients find it useful to drink sports rehydration drinks that contain electrolytes and glucose when they feel they could be at risk of fainting.
