Wow, Heather, that doesn’t sound like the standard here! (What do you guys think?). I would think they’d be looking for the cause, first (but maybe a loop recorder isn’t as big of a deal as it sounds?)… Did they check for thrombosis of your venous sinuses? That is a common cause of vasovagal syncope and requires immediate treatment (blood thinners, antithrobotic agents, etc). Hmm… It’s a bit hard to tell what is going on, exactly, not being there and not being privy to all that is tested. Second opinion? Always, big hug, 😉

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
