A 23 year old female presents to her GP after numerous faints at work. She works as a sales assistant in fashion retail. The shop CCTV has captured some of these faints- they always happen after she stands up from sitting down for a while. She feels that she has a ‘racing heart’ when she gets up too quickly. She has no visual changes before, during or after these faints.
