We present the case of 61 years old man with idiopathic glossopharyngeal neuralgia. In the Holter's e.c.g often appeared the episodes of asystolia with the clinical symptoms of daze and confusion occurring during changing the position of the body (standing up). They were no accompanied by losses of consciousness. The patient was treated with carbamazepine during the cardiac disorders.
