Recurrent syncope in adults can be challenging to diagnose. Many idiopathic cases may stem from hyperventilation-induced orthostatic hypotension or psychiatric conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Recurrent syncope presents diagnostic challenges in adult patients.
  • Idiopathic syncope is a common, yet poorly understood, diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A case of recurrent syncope is presented.
  • The patient's symptoms were evaluated for potential underlying causes.

Findings:

  • Hyperventilation may cause orthostatic hypotension leading to syncope.
  • Hyperventilation-induced syncope is a potential diagnosis for unexplained fainting.
  • Undiagnosed psychiatric disorders may contribute to recurrent syncope.

Implications:

  • Reclassifying idiopathic syncope to include hyperventilation-related causes may improve diagnosis.
