Electrolytes

WARNING!

I would be careful with the sports drink remedy. My girlfriend had her first syncopy episode brought on by only hydrating with gatorade. The elecrolytes they speak of include large amounts of potasium. In her case the vasovagal syncopy was triggered by hyperkalemia(high potasium). And it also caused an extended Q wave in her heart rythmn. She was in the hospital for a night and had to endure alot of poking, prodding, and test to find out what caused the fainting. It's scary to see someone you love in a hospital bed. So just be wary to not over do it with the sports drinks.
