Fujitsu Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I faint every time I get my blood drawn and it's not because of needles or the sight of blood, it's because of pots. I started laying down during blood withdrawal and I do get palms,etc but no fainting. Anyone here go through the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 This is called neuro-cardiogenic syncope, or vasovagal syncope. It is a type of dysautonomia. I have it - my fainting is caused by standing and stress, even a scare ( like a fainting goat ). Certain triggers can cause it - getting stuck with needles for blood draws is one. Lying down for draws can help, as you have already figured out. This type of dysautonomia can be diagnosed by TTT. I have both NCS and HPOTS, NCS was found first during TTT, HPOTS by TTT and neurotransmitter levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
