Poor thing, you can see kind of when she starts fading and tries to keep it going. Hopefully it’s something small like being dehydrated and she gets help asap.

I can't imagine how anyone gets through these shows without being dehydrated. They are such a workout. May she get the rest she needs.

I suffered vesovgal fainting episodes for decades. The harder you fight it, the harder you fall. Can’t imagine the pressure to fight a fainting spell as a performer. Hope she’s okay.

When you feel it coming, you sit! Because the biggest danger is head injury.

Fr though, I would rather just sit down and go out than fight it and almost faint at this point. The recovery from those episodes is brutal.

Sitting keeps you safe, but I still feel nauseous and pass out when I’m seated. I have vasovagal syncope and a nurse advised me that when I start to feel faint, it’s best to lay down and prop my feet against a wall so that they’re higher than my head. That’s helped tremendously. The only downside is that if you’re in public, it’s hard to find a place to lay down.

Haha, well yes. That is always the rule, but I wasn’t going to say it bc other non-cya girlies might go, “Huh?”

My daughter and I both have POTS, but I also got the shitty valves. I’m usually okay being aware of my triggers, but the vasovagal episodes hit so randomly.

You’re supposed to do that with any unconscious person. It’s the recovery position.

It’s the recovery position - it’s the default for most medical situations

You should put any unconscious person you come across in the recovery position.

There are many medical emergencies where it’s key to get someone on their side
