I have been diagnosed with vaso vagal. I have fainted twice in the last 2 months. I am 220 lbs and a light smoker. (6-8 cigs a day - 5-6 days a week) I am starting a job as cashier and after school ( Im 51yrs.) I will be a medical transcriptionist. Will having this prevent me from working? I do get that lightheaded feeling several times a day.

Sorry about last post....until you can change your lifestyle to control vasovagal then no you can't work as a chashier....I have vasovagal as well. Drink lots and lots of water even on the job..get your doctor to write a note if you need. Also, quit smoking...that can worsen vasovagal due to the chemicals in the cigs. But I dont have an M.D....but I have had vasovagal for 3 1/2 years

Thank you for responding. Are you taking any meds to help with this condition? Are you working? Do you drive? How has this interfered with your lifestyle? Just some questions I have.. : )
