A member asked:
Does deep breathing help abort vasovagal syncope?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I find that taking deep breaths repeatedly can both accelerate the heart rate but at other times can slow it which would aggravate vasovagal syncope. If you feel faintness coming on,I recommend lying flat and supine to get blood flow to the brain.lying down often makes the heart rate go up as an added benefit.
