I'm wondering if you did a search on NCS via the internet. If you do, you will get the following which is obviously not Neurocardiogenic Syncope.
What does NCS stand for?
Nonconvulsive Seizure
Great... I feel so much better after reading that. Not! I have had NCS for a little over 5 years. I nearly pass out each time I get up or when I'm walking my dogs, or just about anything any more. My blood pressure will go from some ridiculous large number like 197/110 (no lie) to 71/36. This is happening every day. My cardiologist didn't believe me, so I started taking my BP monitor with me. Each walk causes my blood pressure to go up and down and let me tell you, it is miserable. I go from feeling overwhelmed and sweating to instant headache, chest pain and catching myself from falling. I no longer talk long walks with my pups. I'm turning all of the over to my Neurologist since maybe he can make sense of it. My cardiologist is a twit sometimes. I just can't imagine if this will lead either to Stroke, another Heart Attack or Seizures. The first two were really the only two I had worried about, but my last visit with my neurologist, he stated that sometimes you can have a seizure and not even know it. I do have periods of the day that just seem to disappear. I've had an MRI and MRA lately and they were fine. I just miss being normal.
I don't take any medication for NCS, I don't believe. I take lots of meds, but I'm not even sure what they would give you for it other than a BP med that will drive up the BP. My cardiologist has me on meds for my heart that bring my BP even lower, but I honestly don't think he cares much about the NCS.
I flunked the Tilt test not 5 minutes into it. All they had to do was put me on that table and move it from horizontal to vertical and boom... I'm out. I've also got Prinzmetals Angina which causes my heart to go into a spasm. I'm honestly thinking that most of my issues are neurological instead of cardiac related. Could be the reason my Cardiologist just scratches his head most of the time. Abnormal ECG's, Abnormal Stress Tests, Abnormal just about everything, but Heart Cath's look fine. Go figure.
I have a question related to this topic. I have been diagnosed with Neuro Cardiogenic Syncope for three years now, and I really dont like the idea of taking medications. Does anyone no of any natural remedies or a diet or a tea that could work just as well as medications?????
a lack of oxygen to the brain could potentially cause several problems, seizures included. the hippocampus of the brain, i believe, is particularly susecptable to damage with a lack of oxygen to the brain, which is itself implicated in the development of seizures. however, it all depends on how long the brain goes with out oxygen. most notably, if someone with neurocardiogenic syncope experiences a fainting spell due to lack of oxygen, the person may experience a seizure if the brain goes long enough without oxygen. if you are having these episodes infrequently and if they only last a few seconds, the chances of brain damage, and seizures, incidentally, will be very low. cases of prolonged fainting spells are generally the problem.
