What is vesal vega?

15 years ago

I don't think I'm spelling that right.

A friend of mine is passing out, has a pace maker.

Her doctor told her she has "vesal vega", we can't find that on the internet anywhere.

Can someone tell us what that is?

or even how to spell it right?

Thanks guys

I think you are talking about a Vasovagual attack, which happens when there is overstimulation of a major nerve (vegus). It slows the heart rate and lowers the blood pressure. It can be a result of extreme stress, pain, or heart issues.

I injured my ring finger, got the ring caught on a metal strip and it tore the finger open. I was okay till I tried to get the ring off and it was so swollen and bleeding so badly. I fainted, got up took about a dozen steps and fainted again.

If you google passing out from pain or stress you will find info on it.

A vaso-vagal reaction is when your vessels dilate and your blood pools away from your brain and you pass out. There are many possible causes for it........dehydration, a virus, autonomic dysfunction, severe psychological shock, etc.. Sometimes certain medications can cause it. It mostly happens when a person is standing up.

I would wonder if your friend's pacemaker needs to be reset at a high pace.

In healthy people, our vessels usually constrict when they need to. But when a person is vaso-vagal, they stay dilated and the blood can't make it to the brain enough, and causes the person to pass out. I would make sure your friend is drinking lots of water.
Your friend needs a good work-up. If you think your friend's doctor isn't doing enough, find another doctor.

Passing out isn't normal and shouldn't be ignored.
Good luck to your friend.

I'm sure mongo (and Bill) know of what they speak but we have a house full of Marazzi tile. Kitchen floor, part of the den, small hall, both bathrooms and the dining room. DH laid it all. Sizes range from 12" to 20". He didn't have any trouble with it. Had some issues in the dining room but that was a hump in the concrete slab, nothing to do with the tile. Monica

Free Table/Venetian Hotel in Vegas. What style Chairs?
Q
Comments (6)
Well, I'm still searching. With our living situation I can't spend much and so far the simpler chairs, the classier, or should I say "classic" chairs like the one posted by Suero in the post above.....I might as well turn over my first-born son as partial payment. *where is the EEK icon when ya need one?* So I went back to my original idea.....simple wood chairs with a bit of iron decor/accent on the back. I have found several, under $150 each....I need four chairs. Of course the chairs I love on CraigsList, I emailed the owner and they won't sell the chairs individually or without the table. *sigh* But again, I'm second-guessing myself *so what else is new?*. I want the table to be the focus, not too much ornamentation on the chairs. I pulled all the packed boxes off the table and got it out of the sunroom and into the dining room. Please excuse all the dust! I unrolled the area rug that was stored with the table and the dust and furballs that flew out.....amazing what collects while something is stored in a corner, isn't it? The front bathroom is on the other side of that wall and we had a biggy flood so the baseboards and touch-up painting will have to be completed. I blurred the mirror on the wall, the mirror in the little curio cabinet and the round glass piece on the table because my reflection was in all three! One reflection of me is bad enough but three? ...again, where's that EEK icon? So, my question I'd like opinions for, before I have raw fingers from searching the web: how much ornamentation/iron/metal decor on the back of the wood chairs is too much? Here's the table.....the copper leaf around the apron of the table and the little feet of the table is showing much brighter with the flash of the camera. Here are some chairs I found that I can actually afford but not sure how much accent is too much, KWIM? Thank you for any and all opinions! This first 4-pic set is the set the seller won't break up/sell individually.

I thought the Rio was awful -- definitely caters to the college crowd, and they certainly didn't try very hard to please us when we were there. I enjoyed Harrahs as one of the more middle-of-the-road hotels. It's in the middle of everything, so you can walk to just about every other major hotel. The rooms are sort of bland, though. If I had the choice (and the money) I'd go for the Venetian or Bellagio. They're both absolutely gorgeous.

Las Vegas -- where to stay, what to do

We don't gamble much at all when we go to Vegas, mostly sight see and EAT. The buffets are so good. There are the fish tanks at El Mirage and the volcano eruption at night, the pirate show at Treasure Island, the Rio carnivale parade, the Freemont light show, shopping at Caesar's Palace with a little show there, live entertainment and dancing at NYNY....all free. Nominal cost things to do: Roller coaster at NYNY and Stratosphere, Circus Circus has carnival games and shows, tasting Cokes from around the world at the coke shop, take a gondola ride at the Parisian. Just looking at all the casinos is fun, bring a camera and some walking shoes that's for sure. Where to stay, I've only stayed at the Luxor and Excalibur, both were about $59 a night I think. If you stay during the week, most places are cheaper.
