In vasovagal syncope what does your heart rate do, go up or down or no change?

Varies: Usually it slows, often dramatically, simulating "arrest". A hr of 20-30 with 3-5 second pauses is not uncommon. This common form of vasovagal syncope is called "cardio-inhibitory". But occasionally one sees vagal reactions with pure vasodilatation in which BP falls but heart rate doesn't.

Goes down: There are two type of vasovagal syncope 1. Vasodepressor response means blood pressure goes down 2. Cardiodepressor response means heart rate goes down. You can experience either or both responses.
