Name?regarding fainting:
My daughter was recently brought to her Dr. because she fainted and was not
sick. Her Dr. said it was because not enough oxygen was flowing due to her nasal
infection. I never had this issue. When i was first diagnosed with TOS I
suffered severe anxiety attacks though, especially when the pain was really
bad..like in the morning and I would hyperventalate.. Also if you feel faint in
the morning you may need to get your blood checked out for anemia or low blood
pressure. Usually that is the reason. You could also have hypoglycemia when your
blood suger level is very low.

Subject: Primarily Vascular TOS

Hi All,

I've been reading some of your recent postings with great interest
as I am newly diagnosed with TOS. I have a question which I hope
somebody can answer. The predominant symptoms of my TOS are
Vascular, the worst being almost fainting the whole time when
holding my head in many various different positions.

Has anybody else had this or does anyone have advice on how this can
be alleviated?

Any responses would be much appreciated. I am an expat living in
the middle east and my doctor was honest enough to admit that the
did not have the experience to help treat my TOS and has told me
that there are not really any TOS specialists here and that i should
think about going back to the UK for a full review and treatment
plan.

Any ideas of a good TOS specialist in the UK?

Thanks for any feedback
