As our inaugural post, I couldn’t help a little “fizzy” reference…
It appears that Jared won’t have to worry about losing his job as Subway spokesperson to this woman. And the 25-year-old woman from England won’t be doing any endorsements for Pepsi or Coke either. It seems she reacts to sandwiches and “fizzy” drinks by fainting.
“On questioning, she remarked that her episodes tended to occur when she ate certain kinds of food, especially sandwiches, or drank fizzy drinks,” write the doctors, adding that the woman reported that the last time it happened, she had collapsed while driving and eating a sandwich.
Doctors investigated her claims to see if they could rule out an eating disorder. So they fed her a sandwich. She didn’t faint, but felt lightheaded, and her EKG flattened out for a few seconds. The diagnosis was swallowing syncope.
