When he was in his 70s, I often left work to go get him, clean him IF he had defecated in his pants, return him to his house, and then I would return to work. Even after he was 83 and had entered a
nursing home, he would have the cramps and faint. The nursing home staff were obliged to call for an ambulance, and at this age, he certainly soiled his pajamas or pants each occasion.
Now to my husband, who had NEVER had any sign of vasovagal syncope.
