DC Syncope

You have been evaluated in the Olive View-UCLA Emergency Department today after a syncopal episode. Your evaluation suggests that your symptoms are due to vasovagal syncope. Your physical exam was not suggestive of any emergent condition requiring medical intervention. Your EKG was normal. 

Please follow up with your primary care physician as needed. If you do not have a primary doctor, you can call your insurance company to find one.  If you do not have insurance, you can look for one on this paper list or go to the finance/registration department for more assistance.

Return to the ER immediately for worsening or uncontrolled symptoms, worsening headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, persistent vomiting, vision changes, recurrent fainting, or for any other concerning symptoms. 


Thank you for choosing Olive View-UCLA for your care.
