Chronic fainting, sleep fainting, vasovagal syncope?

Your symptoms are very similar to mine, although the cause might be completely different.
In my case, it was related to Coxsackie B3 and B4. If you still haven’t found the cause of your fainting episodes, let me know here and I can share more info.
Unexplained fainting—both late at night while sleeping (waking up just before fainting) and during the day—along with sleep problems, diarrhea, skipped heartbeats, and more were among my symptoms.
Again, it may have nothing to do with your case.

My labs came back with positive for Coxsacke B1 and B5! Negative for all others. Maybe this is my cause? Funny how no Dr. could figure it out but connecting with another patient did. Thank you so much. I’m sure the virus hasn’t caused cardiac problems since I’ve had the whole battery of cardiac tests multiple times but has caused neurally mediated syncope. Can you share again details of what helped you ? I realize yours was B3 and B4 but maybe treatment same?

Your symptoms sound exactly like mine. Thanks you SO much. I have determined my headaches are caused by dehydration and the fainting. Not migraines as such. So I drink tons of water with added electrolytes plus salt and they go away. I have ordered the testing for the Coxsackie viruses. My Dr. has also referred me to the Autonomic Dysfunction Clinic at Duke and Vanderbilt. Duke can't take any new patients unit 2027!? I am waiting to be contacted by Vanderbilt.
