The symptom of fatigue is frequently described by patients attending the syncope unit with a wide range of conditions including vasovagal syncope and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. It is possible that the presence of autonomic dysfunction provides the common pathogenetic mechanism linking neurally mediated hypotension and fatigue. Managing this debilitating symptom can often be challenging but, with a structured approach, immensely rewarding, and as a result improve how patients cope with their disease.
