There can be several causes for syncope and/or hypotension. This can include cardiac or neurologic causes.
Looking for neurologic causes of the syncope can be done with a brain MRI to rule out masses or other brain pathology, as well as tilt table testing.
A cardiac workup can be done with a stress echo to rule out intrinsic heart disease.
Hypotension can also be caused by autonomic failure. The steroid Florinef is typically used if suspected. Second-line agents like Midodrine can also be considered.
The vomiting should be evaluated with an upper endoscopy or gastric emptying scan to look at the upper digestive tract.
These options should be discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
