A 40–year-old man presents for evaluation after an episode of witnessed syncope while he was at work. He is a nurse who had been working long hours doing coronavirus disease 2019 testing outdoors on a hot summer day. He believes he may have been kneeling intermittently prior to his episode, but he is unsure. He complains of associated dizziness, diaphoresis, and a feeling of “tunneling.” There was no associated chest pain, palpitations, or exertion prior to the syncope episode. There was no witnessed seizure-like activity or loss of bowel or bladder control. He was able to regain consciousness within 1 minute and felt some fatigue thereafter. The patient has a medical history of hypertension. He has no surgical history. He is a lifelong nonsmoker, rarely drinks alcohol, and works as a nurse at a local hospital. He drinks 2 cups of coffee in the morning hours. His only medication is hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5 mg once daily. He does not use any over-the-counter medications or supplements.
