Question

Today I had projectile vomit and then passed out, I did hit my head and I did see a doctor. She said I have "avasia vego" or something like that. I have been suffering from acute diarrhea etc and she said it stemmed most likely from that. to stay away from dairy for a few days, get more hydrated etc. What is this?

Answer

I think it likely that your doctor told you that you had a "Vaso Vagal" reaction. This is a nerve 'feedback' that often occurs when people are having a bowel movement. It causes dizziness or fainting.

I do not think she was trying to say it was causing your diarrhea. The diarrhea is a separate condition as a vaso vagal reaction is merely a symptom or event, not a disease process. (such as hitting your funny bone is an event, not a disease).

The suggestions she gave you are to help with diarrhea and dehydration. You are doing the right thing for now.


I hope this was helpful. If it was, then positive feedback is always appreciated, as are bonuses. If it was not helpful, then please send a follow up question or let me know your concern. CountryDoc
