9. Complications and Prognosis
Although vasovagal syncope itself is not dangerous, syncope in general can cause certain issues if it occurs during certain times such as driving. Most individuals who have rare episodes of vasovagal syncope can perform activities such as driving.
However, those with chronic syncope that is not under control should refrain from driving especially if there are little to no warning signs that vasovagal syncope is about to occur as this can lead to accidents. Alert a friend or family member nearby to reduce the likelihood of injury from syncope. It is best to discuss with your doctor regarding what activities should be avoided. Prognosis for vasovagal syncope is excellent.
