Does anyone have any suggestions for people with Neurocardiogenic Syncope?

How to treat it? What foods to avoid so you do not get so blated due to the medicine.....etc.

Although there is no known cause for Neurocardiogenic syncope, it is easily treated. At the first signs of fainting, one should lie down immediately, until the symptoms disappear. The person fainting may die if not allowed to lie down, but only in rare cases (4). Increased salt intake and water consumption are other ways to treat this condition. Food and drink such as soup, Gatorade, frozen meals, chips, and pretzels are excellent sources of sodium. Other treatments include taking shorter showers with cooler water temperatures, avoiding saunas or hot tubs, avoiding alcohol, and reducing caffeine intake (1).

If these treatments do not work, the next option is medication. Several types of medication are used to treat Neurocardiogenic Syncope, but no one medicine is intended for this use. The types of medication include beta-blockers (Toprol or Atenolol), fludrocortison (Florinef), disopyramide (Norpace), and sertraline (Zoloft) (1). The type of medicine prescribed varies, depending on the patient. Different types of medicine are used to treat patients whose blood pressure drops, while others are used for those whose heart rate drops. In the case that none of the above treatments are effective, a pacemaker may be implanted.
