What caused sudden syncope?
Patient: My son who is in good health ..age 48 passed out the other night. My daughter in law called 911 and they checked him ...B/P normal, Blood sugar normal, .....later had profuse diaphoresis and vomited. Did not want to go to the hospital.... The next morning felt fine and did his usual 2 miles of jogging with no ill effects. It is recommended he have a stress test.....do you have any suggestions? Thank you for your help. Angela Doctor: HelloThanks for query .Feel very sorry for tragic death of your son at young age .Based on the facts that you have narrated your son though apparently in good health had coronary heart disease and initially  got mild attack of myocardial infarction which was not confirmed by ECG and neglected due to normal blood pressure readings .This attack got aggravated in to massive fatal heart attack due to vigorous exercise which caused him his life .Dr.Patil. .
