This blog is primarily my personal training and racing journal, and highlights of my kids activities. Not many opinions offered or politics discussed. Just riding and racing in the MN/WI area.

Vasovagal Syncope
Maren had her cardiology testing today, and her problems were diagnosed as Vasovagal Syncope. Her symptoms appear to be brought on by dehydration.
They did say if she ever faints during a race again, do NOT finish the race.
I have the same thing. Triggered by dehydration and low potassium.
ReplyDeleteStress to her to drink fluids and electrolyte drinks.
It's better than having a coach call the ambulance and getting the banana drip at the ER.
