I have had 3 bouts of sickness & diarrhea this year and each time I have passed out and fallen off the loo- the last time I broke my leg.
I come round fairly quickly and I'm fine. The 2nd time it happened Granddad grump called the doc but as I was fine by the time she arrived and all vitals were good she didn't know what it was.
I agree with bednobs.........vomiting and diarrhoea.......irritation of nerve to the heart......slowing of the heart............reduced blood supply to the brain.........pass out.
Well but sqad, if you know its a risk, you can have a surround on the loo to help stop you falling off and assuming the vaso vagal attack isn't causing the D and V maybe 3 attacks of D and V in one year should be investigated?
Thank you sqad & woofgang I think the first D&V was caused by a bug and by a process of elimination I think I may be allergic to Crayfish tails (maybe even seafood)
Have had episodes before over the years but v v infrequently I think that this year has just been a bad year. I agree the D&V causes the vaso vagal
