My son, who is 27 years old, has been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia, which was discovered two years ago after experiencing sudden chest pain. He has since had three episodes of low blood pressure, the last one being 80/40, accompanied by symptoms like nausea and blurry vision. He has undergone various cardiac tests, including an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, effort test, and Holter test, all of which showed normal heart function. An electroencephalogram also showed no alterations. Doctors have suggested a tilt table test to check for vasovagal syndrome. What could be causing these low blood pressure episodes and what further steps should be considered?
