Flight or Fight

I was watching the Today show on NBC this morning and this guy was attacked by a shark.. He said he didn't have to think about fighting back, he just did. He called it his fight or flight response. This is what goes amok in people who have vaso vagal reflex. Instead of the heart speeding up it slows down in certain situations. Then fainting or near fainting occurs.

I'm trying to go about my business, but I'm always nervous about collapsing. Tomorrow I see my cardiologist to see if he can give me some advice. Wish me luck.
