jenatsky,
I think we can rule out VS as during an episode the victim "passes out".
In my episodes I remain conscious and maintain vision and the duration is about a second from which I return with no after effects.
Thanks anyway,
tadueo

The concern you should have is for passing out, which can be detrimental when you hit your head. I’m a retired nurse so hear me out, please? If you’re becoming lightheaded or dizzy with exertion it can a couple of things. If your heart is not able to keep up with the demand you’re putting on it the decreased blood flow to your brain might be the resulting symptom. If you’ve got a blocked or partially obstructed carotid artery in your neck the increased exertion might be compromising your ability the push blood to your brain. Are you an in shape guy that usually exercises?
