I have a tendency to faint when I have blood tests, and when I hear about medical procedures. What do these fainting episodes mean for my general health? Are there any supplements that can help?
This type of fainting, which may be an inherited tendency, is called vasovagal syncope and is an overreaction on the part of your involuntary nervous system to some stimulus—in this case, an impending blood test or medical procedure. Some people faint in response to the sight of blood or an emotional upset.
