Swallow syncope: I think you may mean deglutition syncope which is a rare type of situational syncope caused by a hypersensitive vagotonic reflex brought on by swallowing solids or cold beverages. Need esophageal studies. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3318096/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10461434 http://www.med.ucla.edu/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=306
