Therapy
“Shock positioning”, i.e. the upper body of the affected person is positioned low and the legs are positioned high. This promotes the return flow of the “bagged” blood to the heart and thus also to the brain. Basically, vegetative syncope rarely requires treatment.
It is recommended that those affected do cardiovascular training through endurance sports and alternating showers, and that they make sure that they drink enough. In very rare cases, it may be necessary to stabilize the circulation with drugs that have an activating effect on the autonomic nervous system (sympathomimetics).
