migrine or something else

[my4boyss]

I have suffered from migraines for many years.  Lately I have developed vasovagal syncope when I get a headache.  My migraine meds don't help these headaches much.  My blood pressure and pulse rate drops and I black out.  My question is this.  I was diagnosed with gastroparesis a few years ago, could the onset of the vasovagal syncope be related to the gastroparesis

If your headaches do not respond to medications, there are alternative medical therapies such as biofeedback, hypnosis, and even acupuncture in managing headaches. It is important to identify your headache triggers also to prevent them from occurring.

Hi,
How are you? Gastroparesis is the result of damage to the vagus nerve, which controls the movement of food through the digestive system. On the other hand, vasovagal syncope occurs when the part of the nervous system that regulates heart rate and blood pressure malfunctions in response to a trigger. There are not enough clinical evidence linking gastroparesis to vasovagal syncope. It is important that you identify these triggers to be able to avoid syncope. Have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management.Take care and best regards.

Take care and do keep us posted.
