Can alcoholism and vasovagal hypo tension cause unconsciousness?
Patient: Hi there, my brother who is 36 y/o and heathly has been found losing conscousness and fell down after voiding a couple times. These episodes accompanied consuming some red wines. I quess that these episodes might be related to red wines polyphenol and post voiding vasovagal hypotension. Am I right ? Thanks ! Doctor: Hello,I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Drinking alcohol can cause blood vessels to expand, causing blood pressure to fall and syncope to occur. This may be triggered by pressure on the carotid arteries, and can lead to low blood pressure and syncope.Hope my answer was helpful.If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.Kind regards!
