Information on SyncopeDescription Syncope is a loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished cerebral blood flow. By age 75 approximately 5-20% of adults will have one or more episodes of syncope. It accounts for about 1% of hospital admissions and about 3% of emergency room visits. Its annual incidence in the institutionalized elderly is about 6%. Causes Syncope can be caused by an obstruction to cardiac outflow: Aortic stenosis, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and Pulmonary embolus. Syncope can be associated with cardiac arrhythmias: Ventricular tachycardia, Sick sinus syndrome, 2nd and 3rd degree AV block. Non-cardiac causes of syncope include: Vasovagal, situational (micturition, defecation, cough); Orthostatic hypotension; Drug induced (see below); Seizures; Transient ischemic attack; Carotid sinus; and Psychogenic. Patients with heart disease are at higher risk for syncope. Patients taking following drugs: Antihypertensives, Vasodilators (including calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, and nitrates), Phenothiazines, Antidepressants, Antiarrhythmics, and Diuretics. Conventional Labs Lab tests are rarely helpful. Less than 2% have hyponatremia, hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia or renal failure causing seizures. An echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization may be ordered if the history and physical is suggestive of ischemic, valvular or congenital heart disease. If CNS disease suspected, an EEG, head CT, head MRI may be ordered. Specialty Lab Tests Products to consider Natural Therapies Most natural health web sites put a list of herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements along with citations from scientific studies. Have you found this to be confusing, since there are so many to choose from? A far simpler way is to choose a supplement from the appropriate body system, such as liver support, detoxification, etc. A well formulated supplement works a lot better than separate vitamins and usually costs a lot less. Please call me at (239) 659-2684 if you would like some assistance in choosing an appropriate product. I can't diagnose or treat diseases by phone, but I can assist you in making better choices. I also can send some relevant articles to read. The first ten minutes are free (as long as you purchase from my web site). |
The next step, after you have been diagnosed with a disease, is to find out what is the specific cause, and then choose supplements that address it. Phone consults are my specialty. Please call my at (239) 659-2684 to schedule a consultation.
I recommend that you make an informed choice, and the goal of this web site is to provide you with the information to make a wise choice when it comes to your health and wellness.
As you can see, I don't sell any vitamins on this web site. There are thousands of vitamin stores that will sell you whatever vitamin you want, and many of them offer discounts.
If you are interested in some high-quality basic nutritional supplements, I recommend visiting the Store You will find my recommendations for a multiple, tasty chewable fiber wafers, high-potency probiotics, and fish oils.
Good luck in your journey towards health and wellness!!
Unfortunately, that would be a clear violation of FDA regulations. Also, one of the most important aspect of naturopathy is: "Treat the person, not the disease". This is a profound statement, and many people have spent thousands of dollars on vitamins listed in books or web sites for a specific disease. This is what I call "vending machine medicine". It rarely works! The solution is to find a naturopathic physician, such as myself, to assist you.
