Hi,
I saw this case on TV where a patient used to faint whenever he used to drink cold water. That same patient would recover after 30-60 seconds and his heartbeat would be normal. The diagnosis came out that this patient had a defect with his vagus nerve which used to give a false signal for hypothermia whenever something cold (in this case drinking cold water) went down his throat. The doctors said that this disease did not have a cure. I would like to know the name of this disease.....any ideas?
Thanks
