Tanya E. Davison is a cardiologist based in Alexandria, NSW, at 17 O'Riordan Street. She looks after people who deal with fainting and sudden drops in blood pressure, as well as family-related conditions that can affect how the heart and the nervous system work together.
In day-to-day care, this can mean patients who get episodes of fainting, feeling light-headed, or passing out. Some families also deal with neurocardiogenic syncope, where the body’s response can trigger symptoms like nausea, sweating, dizziness, and then fainting. Tanya also supports people with familial dysautonomia, which can come with regular changes in heart rate and blood pressure, and can feel scary when episodes happen.
Because these problems can affect more than one part of the body, she often focuses on making sense of what’s going on in each person’s routine. Over time, that may involve understanding triggers, spotting patterns in symptoms, and helping people and families feel clearer about what to watch for. In many cases, care is about staying calm and practical—knowing what’s likely, what’s not, and what to do when symptoms show up.
Some patients may also be managing dementia alongside other health issues. Tanya’s approach stays grounded in the heart-related side of care, while still keeping the bigger picture in mind. If you have a family history of fainting or related nerve and heart rhythm issues, she can help guide the conversation around risk, symptoms, and the next steps for assessment.
For people in Sydney who want a cardiology appointment that understands fainting and family conditions, Tanya E. Davison offers care in a local setting in Alexandria. If you’re dealing with repeated episodes or you’re worried about a pattern in your family, it’s worth getting things checked sooner rather than later.
